The Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan
This is the second book in the Heroes of Olympus series, which is a continuation of the adventures of everyone’s favorite demigod Percy Jackson. The first book, The Lost Hero takes place after the action of the last PJ book and finds Percy missing in action. It is centered on Jason, a Roman demigod who mysteriously ended up at camp Half Blood after losing his memory. In The Son of Neptune we find out what happened to Percy and we are introduced to a new camp for demi-gods who are the children of Roman gods, like Jason.
What I really enjoyed about this book is the fact that it is told from the perspective of Percy himself, as well as that of his new demigod friends Hazel and Frank. The book is very funny. I sometimes found myself laughing out loud, as when I learned who really runs the internet shopping giant Amazon! It is also very fast paced and action packed; I could barely put the book down and its 500+ pages literally flew by. The ending was a great lead in to the next book, The Mark of Athena, which unfortunately is not scheduled to come out until next fall. I can hardly wait to see what happens next! If you like funny, fantastic, fast paced stories you will love The Lost Hero and The Son of Neptune.
