Oh boy! He did it again...a cliffhanger, sort of. There was definitely room left at the end of this book for another series to be sprouted from this one. But, I for one, am not complaining at all! Every single book in every series Riordan has written have been great. This one was no exception at all. I was honestly afraid to read the last hundred pages or so because I was so afraid of what was going to happen or maybe I should say who was going to live or die. I have to say I am not at all disappointed with the conclusion of this series. I hesitate to even say more than that because I don't want to ruin it for all the fans out there. So I think I'll just end by saying I can't wait for the next series...Norse mythology.

I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.

This is the second story I have read by Tamara Hartl, and further solidified my appreciation for her. If you have read her novel Dark Lord of Kismera, then you are familiar with her fantastic world and characters as well as her easy writing style. If you haven’t read Hartl before, I highly recommend her. Her Dark Lord series is a perfect mesh of fantasy and romance with a nice touch of heat. Her mythology is easy to understand and I didn’t feel left behind when she described anything fantastical. I also feel that you don’t have to read the first in the series to enjoy the second. The author lets you know everything pertinent to enjoy the story.

I recommend Hartl to anyone looking for a steamy fantasy with an amazing world.

Go The Distance
I love this movie, this is one of my favorite animation films of all time. Its a classic. You have great songs like.."The Gospel Truth", "Go The Distance", "Zero to Hero", "I Wont Say" and "A Star is Born".

The plot: Disney tackles Greek mythology in this animated feature. Hercules (Tate Donovan), a son of gods, was snatched as a baby by Hades (James Woods) and forced to live among mortals as a half-man, half-god. Now a teenager, Hercules needs to perform a rite of passage on Earth to prove himself worthy of living with the gods on Mount Olympus. With his plucky satyr sidekick, Philoctetes (Danny DeVito), along for the ride, Hercules must learn how to use his strength to defeat a series of evil creatures.

Such a excellent, classic disney animation movie.
