Son of Neptune

tridecagirl:
Finally got around to reading this, and I have to say... I wasn't too impressed.

First of all, Leo was my absolute favorite character in the first book. Now we see him once, and he gets sucked in to yet another aggravating love triangle. Riordan has set up at least three. THREE, PEOPLE!!! Can he write nothing else???

The characters had really cool, dramatic, tragic backstories. This was fun... until it happened again, and again, and again. When you never get a POV switch AWAY from a tortured soul, it makes for slow reading. Hearing Percy in third person was weird too.

Roman camp < Camp Half Blood.

And is it just me, or is Annabeth SOOO going to bite the dust? It just seems likely. I mean, come on. Percy's harping about her all the time. Everyone will be so sick of it that they won't mind. Fastest way to add drama? Kill the love interest.
I also have to say, did anyone else find the whole Percy planning out his whole future thing odd? First, he's been dating her for TWO MONTHS. Second, sixteen year old guys don't think about marriage, family, or much of anything past dinner. Come on.

yeah, I was too pleased with the Vancouver business that I didn't mind the faults :P
Love Leo and Jason.
Percy in 3rd person was weird.

lol next book should be interesting-what with Jason AND PIPER coming to the the roman camp.... heheheh

Mara-la:
I haven't finished it yet... but it is weird. It's like... idk. It's not as good as I thought it'd be. I'm not saying it was bad... just not the best.

FlowerofIce:
Frank was just so funny and awkward it made up for not seeing into Percy's head, and in my opinion I liked the Son of Neptune better than the Lost Hero, because, face it, Percy's funnier than Jason

Kristina-la:
Lol
I enjoyed the book a lot-which is saying Something because I read it right after reading lies. (gone)
So it had a lot to live up to :p
