Book Review: The Son of Neptune

2 Comments

I’ve decided to review the whole Heroes of Olympus series on my blog, so here’s my review for book two, The Son of Neptune.

Description: Percy Jackson is back – and thoroughly confused. After his memory is erased, leaving only tiny fragments and a girl named Annabeth, Percy stumbles upon Camp Jupiter. There, he meets new friends, Hazel and Frank, and learns of an ancient threat fast-approaching the demigods’ safe haven. So, Frank and Hazel at his side, Percy embarks on a quest to save Camp Jupiter – and the world – from Gaea, evil earth goddess and mother of giants. For now, she and her sons sleep, but only if Percy and his friends can keep them from wakening.

My Review: 5 stars out of 5. Fun, hilarious, and action-packed, The Son of Neptune’s plot was simply awesome. This quest is just as riveting as all the others with numerous mini-battles leading up to an epic face-off at the end.

I’m used to reading these books in only Percy’s POV (which is totally hilarious), but I loved the other mains, Hazel and Frank, just as much. Honestly though, Frank is too cute! Half the time, I just wanted to hug him. And Hazel’s character is so beautiful; I absolutely love her story.

Overall, it was thoroughly enjoyable, and I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

Have any of you read Rick Riordan’s books? What do you think of them?

I haven't read any of the Percy Jackson books yet - but my siblings absolutely love the series. I'm going to try reading the first book this summer to get a taste for Riordan's style. I really appreciate his humorous way of writing and it's clearly done well for him. ;) So glad to hear you liked The Son of Neptune!
