The Son Of Neptune


As I said in last weeks blog, I’m reading an awesome book and that is the exact awesome book I shall review this week. Your probably saying “tell us the book already!” or well actually scratch that, your probably thinking it because people will possibly think your mad for shouting at a computer screen. It actually thee second one of a book I have already reviewed. So now It’s a sequel. I love the word it’s so funny sounding. Anywho, where was I? awh yes. Wow, I just realized something. It seems I’m actually writing this in speech form. I must be mad, talking to myself, and I know that because I’m learning it in English. Oh yes. WHO’S NOT LISTENING NOW, MISS. TELLING ME I DON’T LISTEN BECAUSE THE MOMENT YOU LOOKED AT ME I WAS ASKING THE GIRL NEXT TO ME THE TIME!!!!

Okay, I’m getting off track. Apologies. Here’s your review.

The name of the book I have read for two weeks, go’s by the name of, The Hero’s Of Olympus: The Son Of Neptune. As I said it’s a sequel and it’s just as awesome as I said. Maybe even as awesome as the first one. Maybe. Possibly. Yes. Even though The Lost Hero was amazing! The Son Of Neptune seems to have had me stuck in just a tiny bit more.

In The Lost Hero, three demi gods named Jason, Piper, and Leo made their first visit to Camp Half-Blood, where they inherited a blood-chilling quest:

Seven half-blood shall answer the call, 
To storm or fire the world must fall.
An oath to keep with a final breath, 
And foes bear arms to the Doors of death.

Who are the other four mentioned in the prophesy? The answer may lie in another camp miles away, where a new camper has shown up and appears to be the son of Neptune, god of the sea…

With an ever-expanding cast of brave-hearted heroes and formidable foes, this second book in the Heroes of Olympus series offers all of the action, pathos, and humor that Rick Riordan fans crave.

If your interested in this in anyway. Which you should be, but in every way possible. Here is a link to read the first chapter.  http://www.rickriordan.com/Files/Documents/Son_of_Neptune_preview.pdf

I have to say Rick Riordan is absolutely bonkers, completely mad. But he is also amazing! I seriously don’t know how he has written so many books and made every single one as amazing as the last. It’s unbelievable.

“The thing about plummeting downhill at fifty miles an hour on a snack platter - if you realise it’s a bad idea when you’re halfway down, it’s too late.”

“What? You run? Coward! Stand still and die!”
Percy had no intention of doing that.”

“Would Grandmother scold him? Would she say, “Frank! Thank the gods, you've come. I’m surrounded by monsters.”
More likely she’d scold him, or mistake them for intruders and chase them off with a frying pan.”

I recommend this book and the one before, to ten’s and up. I would give it nine out of ten stars. It was amazing and I can’t wait for the next book!!! I have so many questions!!!

I hate waiting.
