The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan

I love Rick Riordan. His books are terrific. If you haven't read the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series you need to. This series, The Lost Hero, is a continuation of the Percy Jackson series. You have some of the same characters such as Annabeth and later on I'm sure Percy will play a big role as well. Our new main characters are Jason, Piper, and Leo. Our main character is Jason who can not remember who he is, but he has an uncanny knowledge of Roman gods and fighting. Piper is an Aphrodite daughter, but does not dress or act like it at all. Leo is a fire user whose mother died in a fire when he was younger.

Spoiler: I really liked this book because, yes, it does continue the Percy Jackson story, but Percy is no longer the one big hero. All the Gods have silenced themselves from the demigods and Jason is given a Quest to save Hera who has been taken prisoner. Jason and Leo each have had multiple personal visits from Hera throughout their life. I mentioned before that Jason is very knowledgable in Roman Gods and that's because he was born from Zeus when he was in the form of a Roman God. Thalia is his sister, but she was born from the Greek form of Zeus and since Zeus had two children from the same woman, Hera was given Jason as her champion since she never has demigods to complete her requests. So why didn't we hear about Jason before, well, there is a second demi-god camp that houses all the Roman kids, however, this camp is never known to camp Half-blood or vice-a-versa because when the two camps get together there is a terrible war between the two. Percy has been switched with Jason to try to get the two groups to work together to save the word from an even greater evil than the Titans. I'm sure we will hear Percy's side of the story in the second book of his adventure in the Roman camp and we're assuming without his memory as well. So exciting.
