[3.5/5]
This book was sadly a drag to read. Not going to lie, the only thing that kept me going was the characters and the fact that Percy's in the next one. The plot was pretty boring considering that we're introduced to new characters straight off the bat, and we barely know a thing about them. I love them, but knowing nothing sucks.
Alright, let's see if I survive The Son of Neptune.

If you thought Percy Jackson was epic, think again, because The Lost Hero is even more amazing!
In this thrilling first book of his new series about demigods, Riordan creates an awesome base for a thrilling story about characters we know, and characters we're getting to know better in this book. Meet the new demigods: Jason, Leo and Piper.
Out of the three new characters, Jason might be the leader, but the most interesting character to me, is Leo. I love his humor, his way of dealing with situations that cause him or people around him stress. I love that he's from one of the cabins that we don't know much about - or should I say he's a son of a god we haven't seen much of before? Either way, he is by far my favorite character and I hope we get to see a lot more of him in the other four books.
Instead of telling the entire story from one point of view like Percy was written, Riordan has written this book in triple narrative. Like in The Kane Chronicles, we switch from character to character when we get to a new chapter and I really like this way of story telling - especially since I think we will be getting to meet more halfbloods in the next book.
Oozing with adventure, humor and Greek mythology, The Lost Hero absolutely blew me away and I couldn't stop reading until I reached the very last page.
My overall rating: 5/5
Riordan is once again proving that he is one of the best writers out there - and I promise excited happy dancing when my preorder copy of The Son of Neptune arrives next week!
