I enjoyed this book more than the first one. The characters were better developed and more loveable, and I missed the humor that Percy added since Jason was so serious in the first book.

Just like its predecessor, The Son of Neptune felt like a prequel. As if it was setting up for the actual story, which would come at a later time.

Of course, this is exactly what was happening here and in The Lost Hero, so that's understandable. 

Despite this, The Son of Neptune was a fun read. After learning so much about the Greek gods, heroes, and monsters throughout the original Percy Jackson series, it was really interesting to learn about their Roman counterparts, and how the two interact (at least in Percy Jackson's world). 

The amount of time and energy that Rick Riordan must have put into research for both Percy Jackson and the Olympians and The Heroes of Olympus is just astounding. 

I'm also very curious to learn more about Hazel's and Frank's curses and Sammy. I feel like there's a big reveal coming here soon, and (even though I have read these books once before), I have no idea what it is or when it's coming.

Looking forward to seeing the seven demigods come together in the coming books!

I couldn’t put this book down, I loved it so much! The return of Percy Jackson (finally) made me so happy and I just loved pretty much everything about it. The only thing I didn’t like
was that we still don’t know the entire prophecy at the end of the book
but who knows, maybe we’ll know in the new book(s) of the series
Also I’m kinda sad
we didn’t get to see Sally Jackson hear the news of her son, even if it was in a dream or something
