Book Review: The Son of Neptune

Hi everyone,
I recently finished The Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan. I gave this book 5 out of 5 stars on Goodreads. You can see more about what this book is about here before heading in to my review.  This is the second book in The Heroes of Olympus series. I think there are 5 books all together in the series. Plus some of my favorite characters from past books. Before I get in to the review too much you can check out my January 2020 TBR to see it and the other books I'm reading this month. I'd love to know what your reading this month as week let me know either here in the comments or on my video. 

Now hopping on in to the review and this is spoiler free: The Son of Neptune follows three heroes, two new: Hazel and Frank and then of course Percy from the Percy Jackson Series. This second book is the other half from the first book it's essentially a parallel to Jason story from The Lost Hero. This way were setting up both sides and all the heroes that will be in the next few books in the series. I will say I think I enjoyed this second one more than the first since I love Percy's character and I thought that this one went way faster than The Lost Hero. It didn't seem to have as may down points. Maybe because there wasn't as much information about the god and such to get though and also the time were Jason's story took months Percy's was only a few weeks and he spend a few months either asleep or wondering around before he made it it Camp Jupiter.
I really enjoyed our heroes Hazel and Frank. Plus the little cameo of Nico. Nico was another of my favorite characters from The Percy series; love that he is a son of Hades. To keep it spoiler free I'll just say that Hazel and Frank have pretty awesome backgrounds. I love the way their pasts are intertwined in to the story and that we discover more about each of the as the story goes along.
Lastly, the story as a whole was pretty awesome. I think since this paralleled to Jason story this one just seemed so much faster and more interesting. It definitely followed the traditional Riordan story set (which is get a quest, go on quest, beat said evil and return home) but with way more twists and character building.
Over all I really enjoyed this book I've already started on the third one the Mark of Athena since I got really excited at the end of Son of Neptune. I definitively can't wait to see where all out heroes go next.

If you've read this book let me know what your thoughts are and what your reading right now in the comments.
