When I first heard that Rick Riordan was creating a new series that corresponded to the Percy Jackson series I was instantly drawn to this book. At first I was worried that the new series might be a let down of Percy Jackson, like most spinoff series are. I was wrong for thinking that that could ever be the case. This book (The Lost Hero) is AWESOME!!! It’s atmosphere is exactly like the Percy Jackson series….except for one thing, IT’S BASED ON ROMAN MYTHOLOGY!!! How cool is that? The action picks up as soon as you turn page 1. It introduces three new characters. Jason, who has no memories of anything before page one wakes up on a bus with a girl he doesn’t remember named Piper and his best friend Leo that he’s never seen before. A few pages later their whole world begins to change. To find out what happens next, you’ll just have to read it for yourself. It’s a must.
