The second book of The
Heroes of Olympus is better than the first book. Maybe I'm a little
biased, because I (like many other readers, I believe)am a fan of Percy
Jackson series. So you can imagine how thrilled I was when I finally met
Percy again in this book.
The story begins with Percy (who lost his memories) ran from 2 sisters of Medusa who wanted to kill him. He met Juno (Greek:Hera), and didn't realize that she was a Goddess. In short, Percy had to carry Juno in his back all the way to Camp Jupiter, where he met his new amazing friends, Hazel (Daughter of Pluto; Greek: Hades) and Frank Zhang (Son of Mars; Greek: Ares). In order to prove himself, and to regain his memories, Percy went to a Quest to free the Death (Thanatos) from the a Giant (Son of Gaea, Mother Earth) with Hazel and Frank. Well, you can guess that so many things happened during the Quest, including a meeting with Irish, battle with 2 giants, and a big battle in Camp Jupiter which Percy and his friend came (too on time) to the rescue and got all the Glory.
The positive addition of this book is that we can see a different side of Mars/Ares, the God of War. In Percy Jackson series, Ares was pictured to be an arogant brat (sorry), bigheaded God. But In this book, while he took the shape of Mars, he showed compassion, towards his son Frank, towards Frank's grandmother, and Frank's mother (eventhough she's dead, but he talked about her with pride and love). Even Percy added his own comment at the end of the book about "Maybe Ares and Mars are different".
Well, it's no fun to just read my review.
