The Son of Neptune

The Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan. (Hyperion 2011)

This book is the second of three in the "Heroes of Olympus" series.


 Percy Jackson awakes to find himself with no memory of his past life. Percy fights his way past monsters who never seem to die. When he meets a crazy old woman named June, he doesn’t know what to expect. And when he finds himself in a place he’s never seen before, crazy old June turns into Juno, a goddess. Everything changes from there. Roman this, Roman that. None of it seems familiar, as Percy only really remembers Greek. Percy is not-so-welcomed into the Roman legion, and becomes friends with Hazel and Frank, who eventually go on a quest with him, under order of Mars, the Roman form of Ares, the god of war. The three are on a mission to stop Alcyoneus, the eldest giant, before the Feast of Fortuna. Percy, Hazel, and Frank must battle through monsters, more monsters, flashbacks (in Hazel’s case), memory loss (in Percy’s case), wishing his father were someone else (in Frank’s case), love (a little), family, old friends (sort of) and many other things on this adventure by Rick Riordan. Filled with details, description, and everything else a person might want in a good book.
