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

by Rick Riordan

[thepunktheory]

As you know, I love Greek mythology. Still I never spent much time reading on the Roman version of all the Greek stuff. However, it turned out to be really fascinating. Not only that fact that there is a Roman mythology but also how it differs from the Greek version. Believe me, Rick Riordan plays perfectly with those slight (and sometimes not so slight...) differences. No other author could do that as skillfully as Riordan. One more reason to read his novel!
So, first of all, The Sun of Neptune tells a thrilling story. I could hardly put the book down, you just want to know what happens next so badly. What I especially liked about this one is that it makes you question stuff. I don't want to add any spoilers, but you will end up thinking about some things after you put the book down.
Furthermore, I admire Riordan for creating such amiable and relatable characters. No matter what he comes up with, it never feels like a cliché which is something I very much appreciate.
So, the only other thing I can add is go read the book, you'll love it!

Riordan wrote another exciting novel, that will drag you into its world. You'll end up fascinated and longing for more!
