Well, this week I read The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan. It was okay, but the writing in itself was slightly confusing and boring. It didn't have the charm that The Lightning Thief did- one of the risks of changing perspectives of three very confused and scared demigods. There's Piper McLean, who's dad, Tristan McLean, is a huge movie star. Want to know who her Greek goddess mom is? If so, too bad. Read the book or a different review. Next is Leo, a son of one of the Greek gods. His mom died when he was like, eight, and he's been running awy from foster homes ever since.You might be a little surprised with this one, because of his abilities compared to that of his brothers and sisters. And then there's Jason, a kid who has no idea who he is or where he came from. It won't be hard to figure out who his godly parent is...but here's the catch...he calls himself a son of Jupiter. Yes, a ROMAN god. (GASP)
Annabeth, Chiron, Clarisse, Rachel Elizabeth Dare, and the Hunters of Artemis all make a reappearance. Camp Half-Blood is still a major setting. However...Percy Jackson is MIA...wonder where he is...you find out at the end of the book, don't worry. He's mentioned a LOT, but never actually shows up. And there is a reason that Jason talks in Roman terms instead of Greek ones. And yes, the Roman gods also exist in this book. Not just the Greek ones. Surprise, surprise. If you've read this book too, I'd love to talk sometime.
WE START OUR NOVELS THIS WEEK!!!! Yay?
And I know this has like, nothing at all to do with this, but..."A wizard is never late, Frodo Baggins. Nor is her early. He arrives precisely when he means to." -Gandalf the Grey
-Jenni
Hmm, so is it worth reading? It sounds sort of interesting, but I guess a lot of books could until you read them. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteI think I would say that it is worth reading, but don't expect it to be as good as The Lightning Theif. Although it is hard to top that...
