Book Review: The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan

2 Comments

One of the places I went this week (via reading) was a fantastic universe of Greek and Roman mythology: The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan, the first book in The Heroes of Olympus series.

Description: When Jason wakes up on a school bus hand-in-hand with a girl he doesn’t know (but who claims to be his girlfriend) and sitting behind a boy he’s never seen before (but who claims to be his best friend), Jason starts to get a bad feeling about the day. Throw in a faun for a coach, a couple of angry storm spirits, and a sudden ability to float on air, and the teenager feels like his brain’s about to burst. Before it can though, two kids in a flying chariot arrive, whisking him (and his newfound girlfriend and best friend) off to someplace called Camp Half-Blood. There, he’ll go on a quest to find a lost goddess, discover the truth about himself, and fight a whole bunch of kid-killing monsters along the way.

My review: 5 stars out of 5. I loved this book! The plot was very compelling with some super awesome twists. Leo, Piper, and Jason – the main characters – were all very interesting to read about, and I really connected with them. I also liked their character development, Jason’s and Leo’s in particularly.

All-in-all, it was a really amazing story, one I definitely recommend.
