A continuation of the Heroes of Olympus series, it finally allows all seven heroes of prophecy to meet, and they head for Rome to stop its destruction. Non-stop and action-packed, it's gripping and will keep you on your toes.

Book Review: The Mark of Athena

The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan

WARNING: This excellent review may spoil the plots of previous books in The Heroes of Olympus series. Read those books first!

This book was amazing! I would give it five stars! It's about seven demi-gods who fly off in a giant warship to uncover ancient relics, underground labyrinths, fight epic battles, and ultimately, save the world. The plot was fantastic. It kept me on the edge of my seat. At times, the suspense was almost unbearable. Other times, it almost made me want to cry (which I didn't do). Overall, an excellent read.

Book Review: The Lost Hero

The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan

In the sequel series of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, starring the demigods of Camp Half-Blood, strange things are happening at camp. Percy Jackson is missing, a power greater than even the gods is rising, and the arrival of three new campers mark the beginning of the next great prophecy.  

Jason can’t remember anything about where he came from; he barely remembers his own name. Piper’s dad has been kidnapped, and the only way to get him back is to sacrifice her friends and maybe the world. Leo is a hyperactive son of Hephaestus and he has a special, but dangerous talent.

The Lost Hero is only the first book in the Heroes of Olympus series. Rick Riordan writes a story as thrilling as his first. The Greek mythology mixed with the modern world is hilarious and witty.
