Editorial Reviews
Review
"Readers longing for a return to Camp Half-Blood will get their wish.... ...the action scenes come frequently as the three heroic teens fight monstrous enemies in North American locales..... Flashes of humor lighten the mood at times, but a tone of urgency and imminent danger seems as integral to this series as the last. With appealing new characters within a familiar framework, this spin-off will satisfy the demand for more."―Booklist
PRAISE FOR THE SON OF NEPTUNE
"Should pacing and wit continue unabated into the third volume, whose foretold European setting promises further freshness, fans will eagerly await numbers four and five."―Kirkus
PRAISE FOR THE MARK OF ATHENA
"With a true storyteller's sense of pacing, Riordan creates another compelling adventure, right down to the cliff-hanger at the end. Stay tuned for volume four."―Booklist

This new series is complete page turner, engaging interesting characters, a compelling plot, and a great read all around regardless of your age. I read the whole three books in a couple days, during bus rides and breaks.
The set arrived in perfect condition and despite being paperback they are good quality paper and covers (not those transparent flimsy sheets some paperbacks come with), I believe the can withstand quite a few re-reads and moving around in my backpack.
I am currently waiting for the other two to arrive I've heard they aren't as good but either way I want to know how it all works out.
This particular book set only has the first three books (The Lost Hero, The Son of Neptune, and The Mark of Athena) of the five book series. House of Hades (4th book) and the Blood of Olympus (5th and final book) are not included. They are quite lengthy, average 400 pages each or so, and can make your child spend a significant amount of time reading (which may not be a bad thing). I love the story of how author Rick Riordan started this whole Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus series from storytime with his children. I still hope he will get into Harry Potter and Chronicles of Narnia (amongst other great children classic series) but I am glad that there are books like the Heroes of Olympus series that can fuel and sustain his love of reading.
They were challenging enough for him to increase comprehension and vocabulary but not too difficult. The series does seem to get increasingly difficult as it goes on but it was never too hard.
This series sparked a love for learning about the Greek/ Roman Gods and the time period in general.
I highly recommend these books. Even if your child is only able to listen to you read, the story line is quite enjoyable for adults.
