I just finished another book. The Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan. It is the second book in the Heroes of Olympus series. For lovers of Camp Half-blood and Percy Jackson this is perfect. Riordan has more stories and quests for the demigods. The first series was centered around Greek mythology, whereas this new series centers around Roman mythology and uniting the two together.
In book one a new found hero winds up at Camp Half-blood and a new group of heroes embark on a quest for Hera. In Son of Neptune Percy finds himself at Camp Jupiter, the Roman camp for the children of the Roman gods. As he struggles to regain his memory, Percy travels with two underdog demigods to Alaska to break free 'Death' from the chains of Gaea's newly risen son.
Lots of adventure, comedy, friendship, and youth discovering their own strengths. Great series for youth ... or to read with your youth. Too bad I have to wait til next fall for #3. Just a good thing that there are so many awesome books out there to keep me entertained.
I haven't started this series yet. I was trying to stay away from it until it was finished, but a Camp Jupiter? I may have to read it just to see how it works to have the Greek and Roman gods. Great review.
