The Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan

The Son of Neptune (Heroes of Olympus, #2)

by Rick Riordan

The SECOND title in this number one, bestselling spin-off series from Percy Jackson creator, Rick Riordan.

This crazy messed up world of gods and monsters is Percy Jackson's reality, which pretty much sucks for him.

Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, God of the Sea, has woken from a very deep sleep and come face to face with two snake-haired ladies who refuse to die.

But they're the least of his problems. Because Percy finds himself at a camp for half-bloods, which doesn't ring any bells for him. There's just one name he remembers from his past. Annabeth.

Only one thing is certain - Percy's questing days aren't over. He and fellow demigods Frank and Hazel must face the most important quest of all: the Prophecy of Seven.If they fail, it's not just their camp at risk. Percy's old life, the gods, and the entire world might be destroyed . . .

I like that we switched perspective for this book. I like how Percy is involved in this series, it’s pretty cool. I found a lot of people were hating on this series because of Jason in the first book and it’s not Percy. Whatever the reason this is actually a good series so don’t believe the hate! It probably helps that I’m reading this series at the same time as the Percy Jackson series so I’m not as attached to Percy as everyone else may be. I think everyone should give this series a chance though!

The writing is the same as the Percy Jackson series, nothing is better or worse. The plot for this book is still really cool and I love the idea for this whole series. I like that both camps have to work together and that there’s new characters and old ones. All the characters were very well written. I didn’t like some of them but they’re supposed to be hated I think. I like how different ever character is. Percy is super talented, Hazel is back from the dead and Frank’s life depends on a stick. It’s a really cool group of characters. I’m super excited to read the next book! It’s going to get very interesting!
