Have you heard about this novel yet? This was written by Rick Riordan, the writer of Percy Jackson series. Well, actually this book is related to the Percy Jackson series but more complicated and greater. It's the second book of the Heroes of Olympus series. The first book is The Lost Hero. Well, I guess I'm gonna explain the plot briefly.
If you have read the first book, you'll know about Jason Grace who came to Camp Half-Blood with a memory loss. The same thing happened to Percy Jackson who finally came to Camp Jupiter where Jason came from. He suffered amnesia and didn't know what to do. He just followed the direction given by Lupa, the she-wolf and also by Juno (Hera). After he made it to the Camp Jupiter where the Roman demigods live with their legions, he made friends with Frank Zhang and Hazel Levesque who both like each other. Well, the two of his new friends had secrets which they couldn't tell. Then, Percy was accepted by Reyna, the praetor of the camp. He was placed in the fifth-cohort together with Hazel and Frank. Well, you'll find that the Roman has a lot of different things with the Greek. They had a battle game after dinner. The fifth-cohort became the attacker. It used to be a loser but with the appearance of Percy, Frank and Hazel made a great team. They attacked like they'd been working together for a long time. With the great tactics of Frank, the abnormal fighting technique of Percy (according to the Romanian) and the power of Hazel they made it and won the game.
Gwen, the member of the fifth-cohort had to be dead but she came back to life. Mars Ultor (Ares) then appeared from nowhere. He then claimed Frank Zhang as his son and asked him to go to Alaska with Percy Jackson and one other member. They had to release Death (Tanathos) from the giant Alcyoneus. There were a lot of pro and con of their quest. Octavian didn't agree but Reyna agreed and gave them a boat to travel. Before they went, Reyna asked Percy to meet her. She asked him to become a praetor replacing Jason Grace after surviving his quest and to find her sister in Seattle.
Well before continuing the plot, I'm gonna tell you the secrets of Hazel and Frank. Hazel actually was dead in 1942 in Alaska (the land beyond the gods). He was the daughter of Pluto and her mother was a fortune teller. She died to prevent the resurrection of Alcyoneus. Her mother was possessed by Gaia, the evil mother earth. She planned to destroy the gods of Olympus. Hazel has a curse, she could control all the things in earth. She could produce many metals like gold, silver, platinum, etc but everyone who touched them would die and the metal would pop out from the ground when she stepped on it.
Frank Zhang has another funny and unique secrets. His life depended on a half-burnt stick. If it burnt completely to ashes, he would die. He also had a Greek Roman Chinese influences. He was the descendant of Poseidon. He the ability to shapeshift from his Greek ancestor, the Prince of Pylos Periclymenus, and is an excellent marksman with a bow. He was also given a gift of war tactics from his father.
Back again to the plot. They met Polybotes (born to oppose Poseidon) and his monsters army. They visit the goddess Iris and Frank fought three Basilisks. They continued their journey to find Phineas. There they met Ella, a clever harpy. They also tricked Phineas (son of Neptune, brought back to life by Gaia) to know the lair of Alcyoneus. They continued to sail to Seattle and on the way there, Hazel had blackout and this time Frank joined her. It was when she was judged after she died. There, Frank trusted Hazel to keep his life stick.
In Seattle they met the Amazons who ran the Amazon.com. They met Queen Hylla, Reyna's sister. Hazel tamed Arion, the fastest horse in the world (son of Poseidon and Ceres). They escaped the Amazons and went straight to Vancouver, Frank hometown. They fight the giants. Then went straight to Alaska by plane. With a hard work, they finally made it to the lair of Alcyoneus. Death was chained with ice and only could be released by the fire of life. Frank understood and he burnt his life stick to release death while Percy fought the ghosts. Meanwhile, Hazel and Arion fought the Alcyoneus (born to oppose Hades). They won and went back to Camp Jupiter. It took them 4 hours, riding Arion.
They then join the battlefield with the other campers. Ella and Tyson were there too with Mrs O'Leary (hellhound). Percy fought Polybotes and with the help of Terminus, the border god, they killed him.
In the end, Percy took the praetor position and told everything to Reyna and the senate. They must work together with the Greek demigods. Leo, Piper, Anabeth, and Jason got there and we can know the next adventure to Rome and Greek next year.
The story is sooooooo GREAT! You must read it yourself but I suggest you to read Percy Jackson series and The Lost Hero.
