The Blood of Olympus is the final installment of Riordan’s five-book The Heroes of Olympus series, which is a follow-up to the five-book Percy Jackson & the Olympians series. The original series begins when the demigods are 12 years old; in The Blood of Olympus, they’re teenagers. In the original series, Percy discovers that the Greek gods are real and that one of them is his father. Events flow from Camp Half-Blood, a camp on Long Island, New York where demigods can find a safe haven from monsters. The Heroes of Olympus series introduces a parallel camp for Roman demigods: Camp Jupiter, located in California, the opposite side of the US. The Heroes of Olympus references events from the original series while developing a new story arc. Introducing the Roman camp enables Riordan to explore the differences between Greek and Roman mythologies and history.
While fighting monsters and trying to save the Olympian gods as well as their camps, the demigods are now transitioning through the stages of adolescence and learning who they are. They develop romantic relationships and strong friendships, learn to speak their mind, and come to terms with their identities and what they believe.
