The Son of Neptune

Rick Riordan author of the Percy Jackson and The Olympians series has started a new series. This new series has some of the same characters but with a totally different story. This fantastic Greek mythology fictional story was entertaining and interesting to read all the way to the end. 


Percy and Jason (a new character) have to battle mother earth also known as Gaea goddess of the earth, we think of mother earth being good but that is not the case in this book. Throughout the entire story its all based on Greek and Roman mythology.


Percy has shown up in a Roman camp completely wiped of his memory, all he knows is there's a girl named Annabeth that's important. The Romans are strict in there ways and believe in different gods than the Greeks. They are a lot alike but different names and some different powers. 


Throughout Percy's journey he falls into traps and lots of challenges but somehow always manages to save his friends and overcome the trials. For example one of the main problems is Gaea has awakened her giants that were designed to kill the gods. Percy and his friends have to go and fight the evil beings in order to save the Roman camp from utter annihilation. 


I loved this book, I thought it was exciting to read from cover to cover. Action and adventure with a new problems they have to face at every corner. The entire book is so well written it's like watching a movie in your head! This book is really entertaining and interesting to all ages and reading levels and I'm yet to hear a bad review on it.

I have read the whole Percy Jackson and the Olympian series but not this one! Is this series anything like Percy Jackson?

I'm not sure if I'll ever read this book though, the movie of the lightning thief kind of killed it for me.
