Righ after I finished Percy Jackson's The Last Olympians, I began to wonder what would happen if  Greek meets Roman half-blood. Then a year later Riordan came up with this book. And...

Welcome back to Camp Half-Blood!

The Lost Hero is a good start for Riordan's Greek-Roman series. The idea is really well-cooked. Although there is nothing new about Riordan's writing, he still uses the same formula: quest, monster, and elses. I don't say that it's bad, I'm okay with that because like I said before: I love the idea about Greek meets Roman.

But somehow in the beginning,  I can hardly connect with the characters. I... See More

Definitely a reread. Overall enjoyable, though I'd say it wasn't nearly as great as The Last Olympians, which is honestly the best. I remember reading The Lost Hero almost six years ago and I loved it. However, my reread experience didn't give the same feeling, which is odd. But it was still really good.  To be honest, I felt like it dragged a little and not much really happened. It took me two weeks to finish this, which was ridiculous. The thing about this book was when I put it down, the desire to pick it up again was not really there. I had to force myself to pick it up again, but when I did, I was quite immersed. It just wasn't really engaging for me. On the contrary, I appreciated the amount of mysteries and the way they all unfolded and fit together. Everything was thoroughly planned, well, duh, it's Rick Riordan, what else do you expect?  Well, I cannot wait to jump into The Son of Neptune, not only because there is my baby Percy there, but I need to know what happens next (I sure have forgotten a lot of things!), but my impatience and excitement is mostly because of Percy. Surprise, surprise. Anyway, I love love love Leo! When I first read The Lost Hero, I was more into Jason. But it has obviously changed now. Leo reminds me a lot of Percy. Their sense of humor is just A++++!
