Content Ratings

Mild Romance
Romantic resolutions for multiple characters are handled warmly and with appropriate restraint; the series' various relationships find emotional completion.
Mild Themes
The novel brings five books of rising stakes to resolution; themes of belonging, the value of both Greek and Roman traditions, and the strength found in diversity are celebrated.
Moderate Violence
The final battle with Gaea and the giants involves large-scale combat; multiple characters are nearly killed; the stakes are civilizational.
Synopsis

The seven demigods of the Prophecy of Seven converge on Athens and then Olympus for a final confrontation with the giants and Gaea herself, while Nico and Reyna race against time to deliver the Athena Parthenos before war between the Greek and Roman camps destroys everything. A satisfying but slightly rushed conclusion to the five-book series.
