The Lost Hero (Heroes of Olympus, Book 1) (edició 2012)

Great new series! My son and I are enjoying the audiobook versions of the series. ( )

Short version: What an amazing sequel to the original PJO series! Full of action, humor, and romance as well as tons of Greek mythology that will please any Riordan fanatic (myself included). I love the latest trio of teenage demi-gods as well as the current cataclysmic story line, and am eagerly awaiting the next opportunity to get my hands on Son of Neptune.

The much longer version can be read here at Nagareboshi Reviews! ( )

Almost as fun as the Percy Jackson reads. Covering in advance for the kids, of course. ( )

Much better than "The Red Pyramid," but not quite up to par with the best Percy Jackson books. "The Lost Hero" is an exciting return to Greek (and now Roman) mythology. Unlike "The Red Pyramid," this book features a cohesive, unconvoluted storyline and characters you can actually care about. Riordan remarkably ties in the new storyline quite well with the other Percy Jackson books. So much so, in fact, that you probably shouldn't read this series without having read Percy Jackson. It's not really a stand-alone series, which is by no means a bad thing. And what an ending! Now I'm dying to read the next book... ( )
