Percy has been through a lot, but not amnesia. After waking up in the middle of the bay area, with no memory at all except for a memory of someone named Annabeth and running from 2 gorgons for 6 months, Percy Jackson is torn and tired. But then, he is blessed…. With the task of carrying an old lady to a door, guarded by 2 teenagers dressed in full battle armor. Percy has been through worse, though he doesn’t know it. As he carries this old lady he notices that the 2 teenagers in armor don’t attack him, in fact when he gets closer to the door and the gorgons start getting closer to him the teenagers help him. He soon finds out that the names of the teenagers are Hazel and Frank, and that the old lady is actually Juno in disguise. Juno meaning the roman version of Hera. Percy also finds out that Hazel and Frank are from a Roman camp called Camp Jupiter also known as the Twelfth Legion Fulminita. Camp Jupiter is a place where the sons and daughters of Roman gods and humans train and live. Camp Jupiter is in New Rome which is nestled in the Berkley hills of the bay area. Also New Rome is a city where demigods can choose to grow up and lead a normal life. Percy soon meets the Praetor or leader of Camp Jupiter, Reyna. As well as Reyna, Percy meets the camp’s self-declared auger, Octavian. After getting a tour around camp from Hazel, and meeting Hazel’s step brother Nico, Percy joins the fifth cohort, the same cohort Hazel and Frank are in. The fifth cohort is considered the worst after they lost the legion’s sacred magical eagle. After Percy settles into his new home he takes part in one of the legion’s traditions, war games after dinner. Percy, Hazel, and Frank lead their cohort to victory for the first time in a long time. Shortly after the games Frank is claimed by his dad, Mars the Roman. Along with Frank being claimed, Mars also tells the legion that the god of death is chained. Mars grants Frank a quest to free the god of death so that all monsters can die. Frank decides that he wants to take Percy and Hazel on this quest, so they set off. To find out their struggles and if their quest succeeds read Heroes Of Olympus: Son Of Neptune!
I am loving the Heroes Of Olympus series so far. As I said in the book review for the lost hero I think the author did a great job with merging the Percy Jackson and Heroes Of Olympus series. I really enjoyed reading about Percy’s new quest with Hazel and Frank. It was almost as if it was his first quest again except he was with different people. Again with this book there are multiple different points of view so we get multiple different sides of the story. This is the case with all of the Heroes of Olympus books. I loved how the author really developed Percy almost as much as he did in the Lightning Thief. We also get amazing development of Hazel and Frank who are 2 great characters with very unique backstories. The author continues to really weave in greek mythology well which I love since I have taken a special interest in it since starting to read these books. I read this book in 5th grade, but I wish I read it sooner. Anyone who has read the Percy Jackson series will definitely be able to read this book. In fact, if you haven’t read the Percy Jackson series I would suggest starting with that since the Heroes Of Olympus continues on that storyline. Also, try reading the Lost Hero first so you can REALLY understand the plot of this book. If you enjoy this book consider checking out the rest of the Heroes Of Olympus as well as The Trials Of Apollo which continues of this timeline. Also check out Magnus Chase and The Kane Chronicles. I hope you love this book as much as I did! Happy Reading!
