This book is definitely way too slow for the story it has. It's not as good as PJO but it has potential, too bad the characters aren't really engaging.

This was far from my first read through of the Heroes of Olympus series, and I have to say it never lets me down. I always get a kick out of starting the book and going "who's this Jason dude, what happened to Percy?" 

I always get a hoot out of Leo, he's probably one of my favorites of the new crew. However, I always love how Piper grows in learning to accept her godly parent and learning what she can actually do with the skills it provides. 

Overall, a great continuation and expansion on the original series.
