All right, let's go in order shall we.
THE LOST HERO : I feel this is the weakest book in the series. The first character we meet, Jason, Has no memory of who he is and is brought to camp half blood with two others, Piper and Leo. It feels a bit slow and the plot is like the books in the previous series, how ever Leo is the only one who is endearing from page one. Jason, while not a bad character, suffers form not knowing who he is which is a problem as that means we don't either. Piper was my least favorite but has grown on me. Her side drama with drew is dull but she does shine near the end.
SON OF NEPTUNE: much more fast paced with interesting characters. Percy returns with no memory like jason, and stumbles onto the roman camp, Camp Jupiter. the new characters Hazel and Frank are lovable and bad ass. We first meet Hazel as she fights of a gorgon to help percy and she proves to be funny, sweet and a determined young woman with great powers. Frank Is a fun character to watch grow over the course of each book. He starts out insecure and dorky and becomes a confident, but still dorky, leader. The humor in this book makes it a delightful read.
MARK OF ATHENA: Things heat up between the romans and greeks as a war is about to break out as our heroes are united. Seven demigods ( Jason, piper, leo, percy Annabeth,frank and Hazel) go to rome to follow the mark of athena. The book allows us to see how the kids interact and clash with each other as not every one gets along perfectly. the love triangle between frank hazel and leo could have been left out but seeing some of the conflict brings out their characters more. This is also the book were Piper grew on me showing that she is kind and strong at the same time. THIS BOOK ENDS ON A big cliff hanger.
HOUSE OF HADES: So far may favorite book as it focuses mostly on developing and exploring characters. Every one gets their time to shine and Rick balances humor and horror in a great way while using the most of the third person point of view to give each character some action. Some things are a little clunky but over all every character gives you something to think about. It also breaks from the mold of other books with a more mature feel
