Finished the book today. Really, the HoH doesn't have many awesome moments but the character developments were really interesting.

Bob totally owned all the Tartarus moments. I mean, sheesh, its one thing to go out of your way to help two demigods, but despite regaining all his memories as a nasty villain and still choosing to sacrifice himself for them is absolutely... sublime.

Percy was completely himself this time, though he kinda lacked in awesomeness. Its okay cause he was new to Tartarus. It would be seriously badass if he learnt to control blood properly. I really liked Annabeth for her intelligence and her feelings for Percy.

Thank the gods, the characters were not at all whining and got serious developments.

Hazel was very proactive, and her Mist abilities were really cool (Though I have no idea how's that supposed to be related to Hades).

Frank got a serious confidence boost, but I found him still incomplete.

I am very happy that Jason is gradually stepping out of his Gary Stuish image and becoming more unorthodox. I like him better, though he's nothing next to Percy. I found Piper to be less Jasonmaniac and more driven to be useful.

Leo was less funny but he was still okay. Its great he got to kiss a goddess- beat that Jason.

I found the parts of Calypso, Nyx, Pasiphae and Sciron seriously stupid and useless.

Still, looking forward for the Blood of Olympus.
