TheLostHeroThe story of gods and demigods continuing from the previous novel Percy Jackson with another prophecy, more enemies, and three new demigods, author Rick Riordan is back with a new series, The Heroes of Olympus, with The Lost Hero.

When Jason woke up, he knew something was wrong. If waking up in a bus filled with kids who seemed to know him wasn’t enough, he had no idea where he was or how he got there. The most shocking discovery is that he doesn’t know who he is. All he knows is that he supposedly has a beautiful girlfriend named Piper, a crazy best friend named Leo, and that he is in a juvenile program.

On the way to the Grand Canyon, a classmate turns into a storm spirit and tries to attack Jason, Leo, and Piper. The leader on the bus coach Hedge turns into a satyr a half god half goat and fought against the storm spirit, but got captured while protecting the kids.

After this startling encounter, a girl named Annabeth brings them to a camp called “Camp Half Blood” where they all are told that they are half-human, half-god. Piper is the daughter of Aphrodite, Leo is the son of Hephaestus, and Jason is the son of the most powerful god, Zeus. As they get used to the camp customs, they are sent on a mission to help the gods protect the western territories.

Will they succeed on their quest? Or would they be destroyed by unknown forces, or will they get hung up by the excitement and confusion of their past?

This serial book is a page-turner and very hard to put down. Fans of Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson series will enjoy this novel. I recommend this book to anyone who has a sweet spot for myth, adventure and legends.
