This book is definitely way too slow for the story it has. It's not as good as PJO but it has potential, too bad the characters aren't really engaging.

As always, I was a little hesitant going into The Lost Hero, because I don't love the idea of returning to a familiar world with completely new characters. 

However, I should know better now than to ever doubt Rick Riordan. 

Jason, Piper, and Leo are the perfect little bundle of outcasts. Each of them had what they believed to be a huge flaw, but ends up being a huge skill. 

As much as I loved the characters and the story, it did feel like this book was mostly just set up for the rest of the series. Understandable, as that's exactly what it is, but still a little slow to read at parts. 

I can't wait to (re)read the rest of the series!
