Hades Speaks

 

Coming on the heels of Rick Riordan's popular Percy Jackson series, this book is by Hades in an effort to set the record straight.  Hades takes us on a tour of the Underworld, introduces us to the many personalities down there, and goes over many of the myths surrounding his domain.  The book is humorous and has allusions to both Percy Jackson and Harry Potter.  I thought it was funny and for those kids who enjoy Percy Jackson and mythology in general this is a fun tie in.  My question is whether that ship has mostly sailed?  I know there is still a Percy Jackson book coming out but is it as popular as it once was???
