THE SON OF NEPTUNE___THE HEROES OF OLYMPUS



Yesterday I finished reading 'The Son of Neptune' a book written by Rick Riordan. This boom is the second book of the series, The Heroes of Olympus. I had been waiting for this book to be published for one year, and I was really excited when I read the book.
This book is basically about Percy Jackson's quest to save the god of Death in order to gain back his stolen memories from Hera. The story started off by talking about Percy Jackson being taken from Camp Half-Blood by Hera and was put to sleep for eight months after taking his memories. Hera did this in order for the Roman Camp to accept Percy, as once the Roman Camp finds out he is Greek, he might lose his life. Jason Grace, from the Roman Camp, memories was also stolen so he could be accepted in the other camp. This procedure is required as Hera needed the Roman Camp and Camp Half-Blood to work together to fight against Gaea and her allies, thus Percy was sent to the Roman Camp, while Jason Grace was sent to the Greek Camp. In the book, Percy made friends with two kids at camp, Frank Zhang, son of Mars, and Hazel Levesque, daughter of Pluto. Then they were sent on a quest to save Death, during the quest Percy slowly regains his memory due to the Gorgon's blood he drank earlier.
At the end of the book, Percy had regained all of his memories, and now he was waiting for his friends from Camp Half-Blood to find him.
I would highly recommend this book to people who likes Greek mythology and fantasy.
