The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan
4.5
Percy Jackson is missing, and Annabeth is desperate to find him. She is told that Jason might have the answers, but Jason has lost his memory. Jason only remembers waking up on a bus full of kids next to Piper and Leo, who claim to be his best friends. When they get back to Camp Half-Blood, Leo is claimed as a son of Hephaestus and suddenly all the mechanical things he can do make more sense. But Leo is hiding a secret, he has power over fire which is very rare even for a half-blood. Piper is also hiding something, but everyone is distracted because she has "charm speak" and she can enchant people with her voice. As Jason tries to fit in at Camp Half-Blood, he is plagued by his lost memories and a general feeling that something is wrong. When they are sent on a quest to rescue a kidnapped goddess, Jason, Piper, and Leo have to face their deepest fears and their messy past.
I just adore everything about this series! It's wonderful to have old favorite characters coming back, but also get to know some new characters as well. Jason and Leo are two of my favorites, because they both have really amazing character development as they have to deal with some personal tragedies. I love Piper and Annabeth and how similar they are; smart, classy, kind to everyone. They both have that leadership vibe that makes everyone look to them in a crisis.
Rick Riordan is one of the few authors that I trust to write multiple POVs and do it properly. Every character has their own voice. Jason is very serious and responsible. Piper is determined to prove herself, but she's full of doubt and insecurity. Leo is hurting inside, but he laughs it off with a goofy grin and a joke. They are all so unique, so it's easy to tell who is narrating, because you can immediately recognize their personality and their voice in the narration. And each character's POV is divided into their own separate chapters, so it's well-organized.
One of the best things about this series is that we get to see these characters growing up, and the storylines get more serious too. We still have all that sass and fun from the first series, but the stakes are higher and the characters are more responsible.
To see the details of violence when they battle monsters and other sensitive content, check out the book on the Screen It First website! https://screenitfirst.com/book/the-lost-hero-heroes-of-olympus-1-2264
