A review by pandalesque
The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan

adventurous hopeful informative mysterious medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

+ characters and the modern day world are well interwoven with mythology  
+ Like that neither gods nor heroes/halfblood are black or white. no matter which gods the halfbloods came from
+ Pet companion (dragon 💕)
+ taking Aphrodite's powers/children more seriously

- little less successful/believable weaving the world buildt in percy jackson and the new elements in this one
- sometimes i struggled to understand how they connected to one another complicated facts/relationships/... 
But other in my opinion very obvious ones escape them, having the same information as the reader

- 3 day adventure/mission and no training beforehand is a random timeline that doesn't really do anything for the plo


Listened to the 3 cast audiobook.
I liked the voices for the 2 male characters unfortunately wasn't a fan of Piper's.
