The Lost Hero (Heroes of Olympus, #1)

I really, really enjoyed this book. I haven’t read the Percy Jackson series yet and I’ve heard a lot of reviews saying that it’s like the same thing but I thought this was good. At first I was really confused and I wasn’t sure if I’d make it through but I pushed through it and it got better.

One thing I didn’t like was how every 2 chapters the book would switch points of view. It was consistent at least but I hate it when authors do that. Another thing was that the writing was really simple and not really anything special. I did like the plot and everything else which gave it more stars for me. Other than that I loved this book. I love anything about Greek mythology and I was happy to learn that this book was a mixture of Greek and Roman mythology which I think is great.

I liked all the characters, maybe not at first but at the end I did. It was really confusing at the start because Jason has no memory of anything. It got a little better once more characters were involved but I still thought that part was a little hard to get through. The plot was pretty straightforward but I liked that. It was simple and to the point which made for a nice beginning novel. Hopefully it gets more detailed in the future.
