It was pretty obvious who his godly parent was going to be, but the tension was real anyways. It’s a shame that Rick didn’t team Percy up with two girl instead of one guy and one girl, because it would’ve been a change to the classic couple & lone boy dynamic.įrank: It took a while for me to like Frank, this was probably due to his lack of self-confidence, but when he grew into his character and his power I was fullt behind him. I didn’t know that Hades – I mean Pluto – was associated with riches, and although Hazel’s power seemed a little strange, the curse aspect of the sotry really aided her fragile relationship with Frank. During Hazel’s chapters we were effortlessly transported to Hazel’s past so that we could get a better understanding of her motivations in the future. Hazel: Hazel’s backstory was probably the most intrguing of the seven. Percy was kick-ass regardless of whether or not he could remeber his past, but I will thoroughly enjoy the books where he is 100% sure of himself. I will say: darn you, Nico d’Angelo for making sweet Percy even more confused.

Much appreciated, Rick, much appreciated. He’s grown up – almost 17 – and his attitudes towards battles and relationships have aged appropriately with him. I loved how you could really see how he’d changed from the original PJatO series. I would not want anyone other than Percy Jackson telling me Greek/Roman puns. The amount of times he misheard or mispronounced something was incredible – I should’ve made a tally – it’s such a classic Rick Riordan way of explaining the complicated pronunciation. I want to know more about what happened to Percy in the eight months he was missing, but other than that I had no complaints. Percabeth is adorable, and I cannot wait until Mark of Athena when the whole gang will be back together. Percy: THE FACT THAT HE REMEMBERED ANNABETH OVER EVERYTHING.

The Roman camp was so new and different to Camp Half-Blood, I really enjoyed learning about it, and who doesn’t love a bit of Roman mythology? I though Hazel and Frank’s backstories were really interesting, and the quests seemed even more exciting. I enjoyed this sequel more than the first. I could barely contain my excitement! I’d missed him so much! Jason, Piper and Leo were great, but Jason could never replace Percy, so it was lovely to have his charming perspective again.

Rick Riordan, you have outdone yourself, my friend. Series: The Lost Hero (#1) | The Mark of Athena (#3) | The House of Hades (#4) | The Blood of Olympus (#5) Genre: Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Romance
