I know I'm long overdue for this book. I've been That busy. (Although it's a month after some Seaweed Brain's birthday haha)
The whole Camp Half-Blood series is still going strong! thank the gods
(little joke, I do have my own God *fears getting struck by lightning all the same*)
I didn't have a chance to look at the synopsis before I formerly read the book but I love the idea and mystery of bringing in Roman myths.
I always had this urge to study Latin *eyes sparkling*
The characters are really intriguing because they manage to stir up new things at the camp.
I love Percy, obviously, but the change of pace was nice with Leo, Jason and Piper.
~ loving Leo, he's just so much fun!
It's a whole new chapter and it gives the old series a harder edge, with new enemies and - what they assume would be - strange allies.
As always I love the quests because of the riddles the Oracle gives. I mean, 7 heroes now!!
Though I wish it would be so that all the gods had a child that either brought eternal bliss or the end, in this series. Favouritism for Apollo shining through very brightly here
However I was so excited on what the future technically brings that I was tempted to skip ahead a few chapters.
I know, I know, bad me....
Mind you, this was quite a heavy book but I brought it everywhere - it was really captivating. Of course I'm in love with Greek mythology and the more reading like this makes it easy to learn about the Roman culture.
Rick also brought in a lot more of the history which, like I said, is an excellent way to learn as it has the heroes interacting with them instead of simply reading from textbooks.
I was thrilled.
And it's just as action-packed as before, even more so now. The adventure may last a few days but it'll leave you wanting more right after - I guarantee it.
Currently hunting for the second book myself.
