fun! and I like the artistic style, but there are a few points in here. I felt like maybe the original book had more explanation than what the graphic novel provided.

The Son of Neptune works really well as a graphic novel. I checked the rating I gave the original novel and it was actually ever so slightly lower (4.25 stars). The different format just really worked for me and I enjoyed the art.
The adaptation isn't flawless, there were a couple of times where events or dialogue lacked context given in Riordan's novel which would unfortunately put a reader experiencing the story for the first time through the graphic novel at a disadvantage. I don't think it's a major issue though and hopefully a new reader would still very much enjoy the story.

I really like the art style of this one more than the last. I also felt the pacing was better.

I would never choose this book, but one of my students gave it to me to read. It was good to get out of my norm for a few moments.

This was one of my favorite books from the Heroes of Olympus series, and it was so cute as a graphic novel. (I'm a bit salty tho bc they left out my favorite scene from the book 3)

I can definitely see how much is left out of the graphic novel but regardless i loved seeing the world in this format.
