The sequel to the book The Lost Hero is the Son Of Neptune.
Percy Jackson, son of Posiedon, God of the Sea, has woken from a very deep sleep and come face to face with two snake haired ladies who refuse to die. But their the least of his problems. Because Percy finds himself at a camp for half-bloods, which doesnt ring any bells for him. There's just one name he remembers from his past. Annabeth. Only one thing is certain - Percy's questing days aren't over. He and fellow demigods Frank and Hazel must face the most important quest of all: the Prophecy of Seven. If they fail, its not just their camp at risk. Percy's old life, the Gods and the entire world might be destroyed.
As I told for the first book, the book's just great. I would not say as great as the first book, but good. There are a lot of expected things happening. For instance, Percy will drink the gorgon's blood sooner or later. Phineas will die. Percy will not drown.
But there were a few unexpected things too. No examples here. I will be giving away the best part of the book.
Like the last book was about Jason, this book was about Percy, a completely different storyline, except in the end. Both the camps meet up. That's it. But the way, Mr.Riordon has mixed up Myth and Mordern and told us what Mother Gaia does, will leave the readers in shock.
I just love the way Mr. Riordon has every chapter to the Protagonists of the book. Every incident, he goes into the minds of the different characters and tell us what they felt like.
The plot's not too great. Many things are expected and I like things totally unexpected.
As on why should you read this book, is a completely different theory. This book is totally different from the other books. It can also give knowledge on Greek and Roman Mythology (if you want any) and for the fun of it. The way you get to laugh on some of the parts is just superb. The combination of the seriousness, though humour has been put together very elegantly. All in all, reading this book is just great. Your mood gets lightened, you feel carefree anbd you want to finish it as fast as possible. In other words, its a page turner.
There's a sequel to this book called The Mark of Athena, which is not released yet. But, I promise you guys that the review for that book also will be on this blog sooner or later.
I love That Series!
