Of course, this is exactly what was happening here and in The Lost Hero, so that's understandable.
Despite this, The Son of Neptune was a fun read. After learning so much about the Greek gods, heroes, and monsters throughout the original Percy Jackson series, it was really interesting to learn about their Roman counterparts, and how the two interact (at least in Percy Jackson's world).
The amount of time and energy that Rick Riordan must have put into research for both Percy Jackson and the Olympians and The Heroes of Olympus is just astounding.
I'm also very curious to learn more about Hazel's and Frank's curses and Sammy. I feel like there's a big reveal coming here soon, and (even though I have read these books once before), I have no idea what it is or when it's coming.
Looking forward to seeing the seven demigods come together in the coming books!

I adored this book. To be honest, I've loved reading everything in this 'verse. The characters were fun. I preferred getting more chapters from Frank and Hazel compared to Jason, Leo and Piper. Hazel had an awesome background and Frank had a lot of character growth.

Even though we know what's going on because of book 1, there's still the suspense of Percy remembering who he was and connecting back with his Camp Half-Blood friends. We do get some fun new characters though, and the inclusion of someone we already know. The ending definitely came back to me once I read this, and it really was a great weekend read!

The dynamics between Percy, Hazel and, Frank will forever be one of my favourite trios ever and the engaging plot is certainly a lot more hooking then The Lost Hero.
Where piper and Jason lacked dimension, Frank and hazel evidently stole all of it lol.
The only downfall is the not needed comparison between Hades and Hitler, it’s not relevant and as I’ve heard from others a potentially harmful character comparison.
Overall one of my favourites of the series.
Moderate: Racism and War
