New House of Hades Theory

But first, some tweets. Should we be concerned about these, or happy??

Definitely shouldn't be happy about the second one...

Anyway, here's a theory I found. Lemme know what you think:

I think that a lot of us have forgotten what Tartarus originally is.  Tartarus doesn’t exist for the landscape, guys.  It’s a prison.  That’s why people like Tantalus and Kronos are sent there.  And look at how similar Percy and Annabeth’s clothes are in the cover art- like uniforms.  And a lot of people have pointing out how they’re running away from something, right?

What if Percy and Annabeth are escaping from Tartarus.  What if they accidentally lead a godsdamned jailbreak?  

GUYS.

Rick was going to release the House of Hades cover today, and it isn't on his blog yet, but it's been released!! (The first one is the UK cover.)

OMG IT LOOKS AMAZINGGG!!!

But here's some interesting questions that someone posed about the cover, some things to consider:

1. Why do Percy’s eyes look demonic??
2. Why are the doors closed??
3. What is the white frozen watery/electricity stuff at the bottom??
4. Is that a Fury in the upper left corner??
5. What the heck are they wearing??

What do you guys think?

Trailer Two!

Oh my gawsh it looks so good!

And Thalia!!

I can't... I... Omg.

Check it out here!

More Movie News

I hear a rumor that the next Sea of Monsters trailer was scheduled to come out yesterday. I am unable to find it, however, a tweet in the link I posted said that we can expect it next week. The tweet was posted today.

There were also some rumors going around that the second trailer would be released today with Epic, which just hit theaters. I'll keep looking.

I found some pictures, too, from various sources:

Uhh...

Not so sure what to think about this.

They changed the prophecy... I mean, I guess they had to.

We're Almost There!

Don't forget: the cover for House of Hades will be officially released FRIDAY, MAY 31! It will be shown for the first time at the Children's Book and Author Breakfast, which is an invitation-only event. Therefore, we won't be able to see the cover until Rick posts it later in the day.

Also, June 18, we will be getting a preview of House of Hades with the e-release of The Son of Sobek. No doubt, Rick will put that on his blog and I'll put it right here the second it's available.

Good News, Bad News, and Something I'm Not Sure About...

Here's the something I'm not sure about:

I hear a rumor that it's the scene where Grover is abducted. I also hear the scene at the amusement park (this one here) is where they meet the cyclops and the climax takes place. Anyone else confused??

Now for some good news.

Rick posted on his blog some things about his event on May 31:
"We will be showing the cover art for The House of Hades for the first time that morning! And yes, soon afterward we will show the cover online so you can all get a look. It's fabulous -- that I promise. "

Here's the bad news. He also posted this:
"Advanced reading copies of The House of Hades will be available. HAHAHAHAHA. No. Not true. We haven't done an advanced reading copy of a Heroes of Olympus or Percy Jackson book in many years. I don't want anyone to know the story and spoil it in advance, so everyone will be reading the story on October 8 when it is first available, no sooner! So please don't mob the Disney-Hyperion booth asking for copies, because there are none. 

Sneak peeks of The House of Hades will be available. Also not true. The first time you'll be able to read a sneak peek from the book will be June 18, if you purchase the electronic single of The Son of Sobek -- details as I blogged earlier. We will post a free sneak peek online a little later in the summer, as we usually do. More details on that when I get them!"

Looks like we'll be waiting a little longer than usual for the preview. For anyone who doesn't have an e-book, I'll find it online (no doubt, someone will post it) and put a link on this site.

Check out the full blog post here.

For Those of You Who Haven't Read It...

The Son of Sobek was released today, and if, like me, you didn't want to buy another copy of The Serpent's Shadow, you can read it here. Oh my gosh, it's good!

Also, here's something interesting:

Expect the cover/House of Hades preview by the end of the month! (May 31, to be precise.)

Well, This is Exciting

Official cover for the e-single of Son of Sobek, out June 19th, FEATURING A SNEAK PEAK OF HOUSE OF HADES.

However, we will be getting a preview of HoH on May 31. Maybe the one in June is a different one? We'll just have to wait and see.

Don't Forget!

The paperback version of The Serpent's Shadow, featuring The Son of Sobek is coming out TOMORROW. Go buy it! I'm serious! Go!

Anyway, we have a few new stills, and some storyboards. (Thanks, ForestQueen, for sending me the link.)

 Did I show you guys this one already?

 Some interesting storyboards... I wonder who the tree could be ;)

Rehearsal!

Also, thanks, guys, for 20,000 pageviews!!!
