The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan was a spectacular novel of action, mythology, family, and a touch of romance. I had read so many of Riordan's books so far and I couldn't wait to read this one. I was very interested in this book because I can't wait to see how he incoorporates new characters into the world of demigods.

This book is about three people all in the Wilderness School named Piper, Jason and Leo.

Piper is a very persuasive girl who always gets people to give her whatever she wants. But now she is confused on why her boyfriend, Jason, doesn't remember her and why she is being taken to a camp called Camp Half-Blood.

Leo has had a very mysterious past, with having his mom die in a fire, and having a baby sitter who has tried to kill him. But now he is being taken to Camp Half-Blood where hopefully he will find some answers.

Jason has no memory of anything. He just seems to know stuff about mythology and other stuff like how to kill a monster in a second and how to fly. He doesn't remember his past or why he has random friends that he doesn't even know.

These three kids are special. They are part of the Great Prophecy and they are on a quest to save a godess named Hera. Will they survive. Or will all of Olympus crash?

After reading this book I felt so excited for the next book to come out and I felt so relieved for Jason, Leo , and Piper. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves Percy Jackson and loves mythology.

The Lost City of Faar by D.J. MacHale

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This book was a heck of a lot better than the first. At least that's what I thought. We pick off right where Bobby has finally woken up from his nap. He goes back to his house to find out that all there is, is an empty lot. There is no sign that Bobby had ever lived here. His family is gone and his home is gone. So now he is going with his Uncle Press to the territory of Cloral. Cloral is where Saint Dane has gone and now Press and Bobby are on their way there. When they reach they see that there is no mortal terror that has arrived. Yet. Soon enough, all of Cloral's crops have been poisoned. And the only way to stop this disease, is to find the missing city of Faar. Will Bobby save Cloral's population, or will all of Cloral die out? Like I said before, this book is a lot better than the first. D.J MacHale has captured the reader's attention and now, more than ever, MacHale has sucked me and many others into the world of Pendragon.
