Son of Neptune

This is the second book in Rick Riordan's series "The Heroes of Olympus" series. It had been quite awhile since I had read the first book and so I didn't remember what happened but that was ok. The characters in this book are very likeable and good ol' Percy Jackson is back. It picks up with Percy having amnesia of sorts. He has some fuzzy memories of a past life but can't seem to put them all together. Weird monsters are after him and he's not quite sure why. He finds himself at the Roman camp and learning about the Gods whom he calls by their Greek names. The Romans are a little skeptical of him because they can tell he's Greek and they don't get along with the Greeks very well. The war between the Gods is continuing and Percy and two of his new friends have to go on an impossible quest and make it back before the clock strikes midnight when all hell breaks loose and the world as we know it will be destroyed! Such great reading. I love the way Rick Riordan writes and the mythology that you learn along the way. It ended with such a great twist that I'm mad I have to wait until the fall for the third one to come out!! I very much liked this book!
