One thing that I really like about the book House of Hades by Rick Riordan, is the copious amounts of figurative language. He seems to love to chalk his writing full of similes and metaphors.
One such is example of this impressive talent is on page fifteen. While describing one of the main characters, the text says "he looked as if he had been run over by a locamotive." (Riordan 15)
Another example is on page 30. Riordan, at this point, is describing something moving across the landscape. He says “something small and beige racing across the fields at incredible speed, leaving a vapor trail like a plane’s.”
Both of these examples contain great similes that really inspire the readers imagination.
