My favourite of the Heroes of Olympus Series
Finally Percy is back, along with two new demigods, on a quest to once again help save the world. Again, I loved this book! Everything about it just screamed brilliant. The characters, story and world were still so perfect I could not get enough of it.I felt that there was a lot more background information in this one compared to The Lost Hero. Camp Jupiter, the Roman camp, was finally revealed and it was so different to its Greek counterpart but it was still just as brilliant. It was clear where the differences in the two sets of demigods lie. The Romans were organised and structured, which was reflected in its camp, whereas the Greeks were a lot more free and wild. I loved this because it gave us much more information on how the Romans acted and lived.Overall this book gave so much more information than the first book and I felt the connection with the characters a lot more, I don't know if this is because we got to read from Percy's perspective again and are familiar with it a lot more than the new perspectives we had in The Lost Hero. Not to mention it was still as action-packed and fast-paced and immediately gripping as any Rick Riordan Book so it gave you a lot more freedom to enjoy it.

Truly an EPIC series!!!
For fans of Percy Jackson and anyone who has the slightest interest in Greek and Roman Civilisations or mythological masterpieces of fiction.Truly an Epic set of stories from the First to the Last!!!From Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson Books 1-5 plus two more extra books on the Greek Gods and Demigods) and continuing all the way through (Heroes of Olympus Books 1-5).To end with The Blood of Olympus. An Epic story all the way through, a great coming of age story in beautiful and rich environments full of danger and mystery. A thoroughly cracking read. I loved it so much, I read it twice through. Wonderful.

Another winning update on the old myths from Rick Riordan
My children, aged ten and seven have been steadily making our way through the Percy Jackson series since last year. We finished this, the second book in the Heroes of Olympus series last night, and they have already put the third book on my desk, ready for me to read to them tonight.Needless to say, we love them. Rick Riordan is a master when it comes to updating ancient mythology in an inventive and contemporary way. His knowledge and love for the old stories is showcased in the way he so brilliantly puts them in a new setting without losing any of the spirit of the original stories. Funny, clever and full of characters you will grow to love, this series goes from strength to strength.

Amazing - what an experience!
Another fantastic book by Rick Riordan. As is usual with Rick Riordan books, the scene is set and the characters are developed exceptionally well, allowing you to be quickly immersed. This is an excellent addition to the Heroes of Olympus series - another "can't put it down" book!The Rick Riordan Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus and Kane Chronicles books really are amazing - they offer an ideal introduction to mythology (Greek, Roman and Egyptian) as well as quite simply being excellent, enthralling stories; the blend of ancient myths and modern day life conjures up incredible storylines and brings the myths and their key players to life. Highly recommended.

Such a fun fast paced story with brilliant characters.If you have read and enjoy the Percy Jackson series you will love The Heros Of Olympus series, I personally am enjoying this series even more and I feel like it's just going to get better from here on I cannot wait to read the third book as this book set up everything so nicely to jump right into book three!
