The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan

2.0

I remember this being a bit of a chore to get through back when I was thirteen, and a decade later, that seems to remain the case. The format is the same as every previous Percy Jackson book, and done so with a cast that's frankly nowhere near as good; Leo is my man, but of the seven main demigods of this series, Piper and Jason are easily the least interesting. All of the cool stuff this series brings to freshen things up compared to PJO is only alluded to, with the Roman patheon, Camp Jupiter and it's relationship with Camp Half-Blood not actually showing up until the next book. It's all in service of an amnesiac mystery, which is fine, but when there's little else new to be excited about this really just feels like a retread.
