I bought this book when it came out, and it was so popular, that it went through the hands of a number of students familiar with the Percy Jackson series before I got my hands back on it.
I did find it interesting that Riordan had this series planned by the end of The Last Olympian (check the acknowledgments page).
We have three new heroes: Jason (again, named after another famous Greek hero), Piper and Leo, two of whom are children of gods who didn’t take a starring role in the last series. An interesting choice.
I liked the novel – The action was enough to keep the pages turning – but there was something missing in this novel. I think I liked the Percy Jackson series because of the first person narrator and because the focus was solely on one character. The third person narrator in The Lost Hero, I think, distanced readers from the characters in a way.
