The Son of Neptune: The Graphic Novel by Robert Venditti, Rick Riordan
4.5
The Son of Neptune works really well as a graphic novel. I checked the rating I gave the original novel and it was actually ever so slightly lower (4.25 stars). The different format just really worked for me and I enjoyed the art.
The adaptation isn't flawless, there were a couple of times where events or dialogue lacked context given in Riordan's novel which would unfortunately put a reader experiencing the story for the first time through the graphic novel at a disadvantage. I don't think it's a major issue though and hopefully a new reader would still very much enjoy the story.
