Book Review: The Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan

YES! YES YES YES YES YES! Percy finally appears in this second installment of the Heroes of Olympus, when he carries Juno (Hera's roman form, disguised as a hippie lady in Berkeley) across a California highway and into a Roman camp for demigods. All he remembers is a name: Annabeth. Annabeth Chase. (Ikr- couldn't you just die!) They make him praetor, filling in for some guy named Jason Grace. He meets Hazel Levesque and Frank Zhang, Roman demigods, in a quest to fight Gaea (mother of all gods- Earth herself- stirring and ready to start a war). Meanwhile, Leo, Annabeth, Jason, and Piper figure out a way to get to Percy. This book was bursting with reveals, witty, smart, sad, and at times very funny. This is definitely a must-read for Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus fans. Five Stars.
