A review by karenholmes
The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan
4.0
New series by Rick Riordan following pretty much the Hero's Journey in this new quest. The books are slightly more YA (Riordan taking into account his original Percy Jackson readers will have grown a bit) and the romance is a bit more powerful.
This man knows how to plot a book to make stakes rise and rise and it up rising them even more, so setting up next book.
I get it's for kids, so the clues didn't have to be as subtle as in a mainstream book, but sometimes it annoyed me he had to let the clues in slowly, too slowly I got mad at him for not saying things clearly.
Characters are relatable and it's a great thing some of the originals from Camp Half Blood make brief appearances (such as Annabeth or Thalia) and that there is a lot of questions about where is Percy (though it should be easy to guess soon in the book for a clever reader - that's what I was referring about the subtle or not so subtle clues for instance).
