The meeting results in our group of heroes, basically the groups from the first two books, joining forces and journeying to Rome to confront some giants. Finally the two groups of Demi-gods meet. The narrator does a good job of keeping all of the voices straight…and there are a ton of voices to keep straight. I listened to this on audiobook and, like the previous two audiobooks in this series, this one was very well done. The story is well done and entertaining although with all the different characters we are following now things get a bit drawn out. As with all of Riordan’s book he follows his normal formula.
