Publisher's summary

At the conclusion of The Mark of Athena, Annabeth and Percy tumble into a pit leading straight to the Underworld. The other five demigods have to put aside their grief and follow Percy's instructions to find the mortal side of the Doors of Death. If they can fight their way through the Gaea's forces, and Percy and Annabeth can survive the House of Hades, then the Seven will be able to seal the Doors from both sides and prevent the giants from raising Gaea. But, Leo wonders, if the Doors are sealed, how will Percy and Annabeth be able to escape?

They have no choice. If the demigods don't succeed, Gaea's armies will never die. They have no time. In about a month, the Romans will march on Camp Half-Blood. The stakes are higher than ever in this adventure that dives into the depths of Tartarus.

Great book, Not so good performance, but....

Where does The House of Hades rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Not the worst, but below average. The narrator started out very bad, but got better after ....5-6 hours. If I'm not the fan of the series, I'd have stopped in the first 15 minutes. I'm deciding if I should exchange the book or not, but certainly do not feel like paying a credit for this. I needed to skip from time to time in the first half.

Still, the story is fantastic and Nick's performance in the second half is not bad.

What three words best describe Nick Chamian’s voice?

start out bad

Good book, but I missed the original narrator

What did you love best about The House of Hades?

very entertaining... I love how we got to learn more about each the heroes.

What other book might you compare The House of Hades to and why?

this book and the previous books in this series all stick together as a whole. But it kind of reminded me of the red pyramid meets Diana Jones.

What three words best describe Nick Chamian’s performance?

not Joshua Swanson

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Bob came through for Percy at the Elevator and when Jason learned a little about nico and didn't share his secret... didn't see that coming, but thought it was written appropriately for younger readers.

Any additional comments?

I liked Nick's enthusiasm for the characters in the story, it's not always easy switching out narrators in a series, but he gave good effort.

worst reader ever

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend reading the book yourself. The reader is terrible. He changes his voice very little for emotion and character changes and is almost mono tone.

Would you be willing to try another one of Nick Chamian’s performances?

I would never willing order another book read by chamian

Ugh why the narrator change!!

No enthusiasm and very monotone. I was only 15 minutes in and couldn’t handle it. So disappointed. The other books I wanted to dash through the story because it’s so amazing and read so well. This fell flat. Sorry fans, we’re just going to have to read the book for this one. So disappointing.
