Waiting on Wednesday

I really really loved the Percy Jackson books so when I saw that Rick Riordan was coming out with a companion series I was a little apprehensive. Would it be as good?

So far - yes! I really liked Lost Hero and can't wait until the next one - Son of Neptune. The characters are a little different and a lot more diverse, in my opinion. I miss Percy lots but hopefully we'll figure out what happened to him in this book.

the premise: As I said, a companion series to Percy Jackson and the Olympians.I actually really like how the publisher put it so I'm just going to leave this here... In The Lost Hero, three demigods named Jason, Piper, and Leo made their first visit to Camp Half-Blood, where they inherited a quest: Seven half-bloods shall answer the call, To storm or fire the world must fall. An oath to keep with a final breath, And foes bear arms to the Doors of Death. Who are the other four mentioned in the prophesy? The answer may lie in another camp miles away, where a new camper has shown up and appears to be the son of Neptune, god of the sea. . . .

why I'm dying to read it: Rick Riordan is great at adventure storytelling. His books are quick moving and a lot of fun. Even though they seem to be growing in size, they're still pretty quick reads.

how long I have to wait: not long! Only until October 4!

while you're waiting check out: If you haven't ready Lightning Thief, add that to your list. If you're interested in mythology with a chick lit twist, check out Abandon by Meg Cabot which is based on the Persephone story.
