This is the first book of the "Heroes of Olympus" series which is quite popular at the library. The exposure to Greek and Roman mythology is fun--I prefer books with a little sentiment but I can see why it is popular. ( ) Jason wakes up on a school bus with no memory of his life before but two friends who seem to remember him, Leo and Piper. When the trio are attacked by weird supernatural creatures, Jason knows just how to fight them, and then three of them are whisked off to Camp Half-Blood where they learn they're demigods and that a major quest is about to start which will require the skills of Jason, Leo, and Piper. A fun start to a new series set in the same world as the Percy Jackson books. As an adult reader, I predicted most of the major plot points but that didn't take any of the fun away from the experience. There's plenty of action and humour and it was a delight to get to know three new characters while getting some time with a few familiar faces as well. A solid read. Leo, Jason, and Piper are such a good trio, but they've got nothing on Percy and Annabeth. I feel like this quest made way less sense than the rest of them did. Like I genuinely was so confused about where they were going, why, and what they were doing. And that didn't really get better. I feel like it makes sense if you know the ending, or know the whole plot or whatever, but like this book wasn't great with the progression of knowledge. Also, I know Rick Riordan is well-appreciated for his lack of problematic writing and his inclusivity, but I felt like Piper was kind of sexist. For instance, in the final fight scene, it says that Piper is fighting, but basically doesn't have to work very hard because she's so pretty her enemies forget to fight. Ch. 50 "Piper was surrounded by Earthborn, but she seemed to be holding her own. She was so impressive-looking as she fought, almost glowing with beauty, that the Earthborn stared at her in awe, forgetting that they were supposed to kill her. They'd lower their clubs and watch dumbfounded as she smiled and charged them. They'd smile back-until she sliced them apart with her dagger, and they melted into mounds of mud." But another sexist comment, in ch 15 "The guys had one row of bunks separated by a curtain, but their section of the cabin was just as neat and orderly as the girls'. Something was definitely unnatural about that." Like, are you really claiming all guys are messy?? That's so unkind. It also felt sus that the Aphrodite girls are so catty. Borderline JKR disorder that intelligence is good and looks are bad, the good female characters are smart and don't care about their looks. I say borderline because plenty of the books counter this, but this book still gave me those vibes. Why is the Greek camp called Camp Half Blood, but the Roman camp is called Camp Jupiter?? That would be like Camp Zeus. This one took me some time to get into, but it was only because I read the Percy Jackson books so long ago and had forgotten a few minor characters that were mentioned in this one. All in all, the book was good. The mythology was intriguing and stretched to fit modern times in a humorous way as always. The mythology consisted of Greek, Roman, and even some Cherokee. There was sarcasm. There were a few twists. The last sentence was the perfect ending and the perfect way to force people to want book two! This one had a lot more technology mentioned than in the past which was interesting, but also not my thing. The gods are referred to by both their Greek names and Roman, something that confused me a bit as I only know the Greek names. It was good to learn though and the back of the book has a handy little chart. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
