The Son of Neptune is a great book. Sometimes it can be confusing to read about the Greek and Roman gods. After reading the Percy Jackson books I was pretty familiar with the Greek gods, but I knew very little about the Roman ones. The book is really fun to read even when I’m not really sure what god they’re talking about. This book has some new characters who are super interesting to read about and also some characters from the original series. I love reading about them because I always want to know what happened to people after the book ends and this series tells me. Demigods are always fun to read about because they are all so different but also really similar. I would one hundred percent recommend this book. 4/5 stars @ToastieTaco of the Hamilton Public Library's Teen Review Board The Son of Neptune is a fantastic read for not only those who read the first Heroes of Olympus book but those who are new to the series as well. It keeps its charm from the previous book and the Percy Jackson series while still adding new elements to the series. It develops new characters and their backstories while adding on to the older characters of the series. The battles throughout this book are also made interesting as they add new monsters to fight and with them new ways to see how the main characters deal with them. The finale of this book is spectacular as it uses the information of a character being unable to be defeated in Alaska to use as the main characters have to move the character away to defeat them. As a fan of this series myself I was not disappointed as this book exceeded expectations and was an amazing read. I would give this book an easy 5/5 due to it going way over my high expectations of the book. @TheBookieMonster of the Teen Review Board of the Hamilton Public Library “The Son of Neptune” definitely went in an interesting direction. The protagonist, Percy Jackson returns and this time the roles are switched between him and Jason. There was a bit of a slow start in the beginning of the book but towards the middle it got a lot better. The ending didn’t fail to disappoint me. The plot was amazing and as per usual, well written by Rick Riordan. In “The Son of Neptune”, Rick Riordan not only included Greek mythology again, but he also included Roman mythology. I felt like this just made the book twice as good. In the first Percy Jackson series, I got some background knowledge about gods and goddesses and so I understood a lot of “The Son of Neptune”. If you’re planning to read this series and haven’t read the “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” series, I would suggest reading that first as it may be easier to understand “The Heroes of Olympus series”. I would totally recommend reading “The Son of Neptune”. 5/5 stars. @Riddikulus of the Teen Review Board at the Hamilton Public Library
