The 2nd book in the Heroes of Olympus series is as great as all the previous Percy Jackson books. The beginning is a bit slow but then the story gets into its stride and it's anothe'r unputdownable book from the WOW list We learn about Jupiter Camp - the camp of Roman demigods, and about some of the gods in their Roman persona (Juno = Hera, Mars = Ares). We also meet Frank - the son of Mars who is totally different from his Greek sister Clariss and Hazel - the daughter of Pluto = Hades. The only Greek demigods in the book are Percy and Nico di Angelo who is Hazel's Greek brother. Togther with Percy, Hazel and Frank manage to kill 2 of Gaea's giant sons and save Camp Jupiter from a big monster attack. The book ends with a huge cliff hanger: the Argo II from Camp Half Blood land in the middle of Camp Jupiter and Percy with the rest of the Roman demigods go to meet them. Bad Rick Riordan - forcing the readers to wait for a very long year for the next book that will hopefully start with whatever happened in that meeting.
A note to Mr. Riordan - This is a book aimed at children. Don't you think that it's a bit dangerous to state that the online shop Amazon is actually the headquarters of the legendary Amazons ??? Childern are not best know for their ability to tell fiction from reality.
