I loved the introduction of Hazel and Frank as new main characters. Especially in combination with Percy they made for a good mix of POVs.
The first half of the book felt a little bit long but as soon as the quest started it was a very well paced and thrilling read. I'm very excited for the third book!

Of course, this is exactly what was happening here and in The Lost Hero, so that's understandable.
Despite this, The Son of Neptune was a fun read. After learning so much about the Greek gods, heroes, and monsters throughout the original Percy Jackson series, it was really interesting to learn about their Roman counterparts, and how the two interact (at least in Percy Jackson's world).
The amount of time and energy that Rick Riordan must have put into research for both Percy Jackson and the Olympians and The Heroes of Olympus is just astounding.
I'm also very curious to learn more about Hazel's and Frank's curses and Sammy. I feel like there's a big reveal coming here soon, and (even though I have read these books once before), I have no idea what it is or when it's coming.
Looking forward to seeing the seven demigods come together in the coming books!

Dementia is actually the purposeful removal of memories from someone that they slowly must regain. All content still feels appropriate for a YA audience.
