Lost Hero, The (Heroes of Olympus, The, Book One) | 
pickThe kids and I finished the original Percy Jackson first 5 books and moved on to this series, and wow-we loved it. I was trying to read aloud to 2 kids at 2 different places, and at times they got sick of me and just read ahead themselves, which was awesome - loved seeing them so into a book. Loved the multiple point of views ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pick4.25/5 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌘 #percyjackson #jasongrace #heroesofolympus
I always struggle with this book. I miss Percy and love his pov
pickI do love these book, trying to reread the whole series because one of my dnd groups is doing a summer shot of a pjo based campaign. I‘m quite excited about it honestly. Anyway these books are, as always character based action stories that I just adore. I particularly adore the focus on the differences between the Greek and Roman aspects in this series.
pickUnabridged Audiobook (9/10):
The fact that this book starts a new era within the Camp Half-Blood Chronicles so incredibly well is a testament to the brilliance behind Rick Riordan. He manages to craft a story that‘s connected to Percy Jackson, incorporating Roman mythology into the Greek we‘ve come to know, and establishing new characters to love.
pickGood book and interesting story. I bought this series and Percy Jackson in 2020 out of interest and a growing, young reader in my house. I mistakenly read this one—and then realized I should read the other series first! So I did and now I am coming back around for the Heroes of Olympus series. Enjoyable and easy reading.
Whenever I see one of my young scholars reading I always stop and ask for a photo, and I‘m never disappointed at how it turns out!! Mr. Riordan, you are one in a million and I‘ve never met you but based on the sheer excitement I see in my scholars eyes let‘s me know your writing is nothing short of amazing. Thank you!!
pick⭐⭐⭐⭐
Such a great start for a new series!!! And as Italian I loved all the Roman mythology 🦅🗡🏛 I'm really curious to see how Riordan will develop this aspect. I liked all the new characters (Leo is my favourite 💟) and it was good seeing some old friends.. can't wait to read the next one and find out what happened to Percy!
I started making collectible bookmarks for the tweens and teens at the library! 😃💕📚 Collect them all! 😁Each week will be be a different one which will all tie into a monthly theme - for example my display this month in the teen room is mythology, so each weekly bookmark will be Percy Jackson related! I don't know if the teens will like it, but I'm already enjoying the heck out of it! 📚 #librarylove #librariansoflitsy
pickI‘d already read this book once before for school but completely forgot about it and now that I‘ve read the Percy Jackson series, I can honestly say that I loved it. I also really enjoyed the cameos of characters we already knew as well as getting to know the new ones. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickBeen on a Greek mythology kick and decided to read this series over. Very good continuation of the Percy Jackson series.
pickThis was an interesting read! I recognised the writing style of Percy Jackson and some characters made a come back, but besides that, it was a complete new story! Leo and his talents and humour grabbed my attention, Piper was way more than a beauty queen and Jason was so confused, but brave! The thing I didn't think was necessary, was that it took them all so long to trust, but that is all forgiven. Looking forward to the rest of this new series!
pickI‘m glad I had a chance to reread this book. The first time I read it I was so upset to not see Percy or follow our original demigod friends, it distracted me too much to completely enjoy this book. This time around, I gained a new love for Jason, Piper and Leo. They‘re just as amazing and the story is as entertaining as our Percy Jackson series. Definitely loved this book.
pickThis has the same amount of action and excitement mixed with comedy that were in the original series. I also really loved the characters we meet in this series. I really connected to both Leo and Piper and was really rooting for them to accomplish their goals and be happy. The ending was also phenomenal! That realization! That cliffhanger! I was so hype after I finished and excited to see what happens next in the series. Let‘s GOOOOO!!
Enjoying my new mug as I start a new book.
pickThe darker YA-style tone along with the shifting third-person perspective from each character worked really well. I'm thinking there are probably a lot of plot complexities and mysteries to figure out in the following books in the series. These are definitely a notch up in maturity level from the OG Percy Jackson series.

pickMy first by Rick Riordan. I bought the five books in The Heroes of Olympus series from a friends recommendation. I really enjoyed this first book and read it rather quickly. It is fun to get to know the characters and I look forward to getting to know them better. The books make some outrageous leaps in timeline and other areas but then again it is a story of half human/half Greek god fighting against powerful enemies.
“Bad PR to admit you needed mortals to help beat an enemy. That‘s just embarrassing.”
This line from a coach Hedge reminded me of the hockey coach from Letterkenny, except rated PG 😝
I am actually reading now, but this captures more of the general porch vibe. Seemed like good timing to revisit Rick Riordan‘s heroes of Olympus, as a reminder that genuine allies among cisgender authors do exist, and write wonderful, inclusive, responsible YA fantasy.
pickAhh I had forgotten how much fun Rick Riordan's books are. A strange boy appears at Camp Half-Blood and is sent on a quest with some other demigods to rescue Hera, Queen of the Gods. I love feeling like I'm learning while reading a super enjoyable story. 4⭐
Organized some of my shelves today. Need to get another couple shelves though. I'm all out of space.
pickAaahhhhh I love these kids!
I adore this world and meeting new kids.
Classic Riordan, lots of adventure and laughs
Hey guys, i made a reader‘s journal today. I plan to do some fun activities in it while reading books. Like a book bingo maybe. I‘ll keep y‘all updated on how it works out for me.
pickI was at Goodwill where I found this book and decided, “What the heck, I‘ll give it a try.” The audience is met for a younger crowd, but it was entertaining. It wasn‘t until the end when I realized it was the first book of a second series. 😂. Looks like I‘ll need to back track a few books.
Author: Rick Riordan
Genre: Fantasy, Adventure, Greek Mythology, YA Fic
Date started/finished: November 1- 9
Reason I chose the book: I chose this book because I found the Greek mythology interesting in the book and read Percy Jackson when I was younger, and this novel is a spin-off of it.
Summary: In the comments
pickThis was a satisfying continuation of the Percy Jackson books, although Percy himself does not make an appearance in this one. The new characters are delightful and sympathetic and it still delivers on being a roaring good adventure!
pickWell, that went fast! Definitely need the rest of the series now.
Jason gets caught up in a whirlwind of unbelievable occurrences: demigods, training camps, quests, imperiled gods. He‘s also suffering from extreme amnesia, but pieces start coming back. Will Jason be the greatest hero of them all, or will he lead his friends to failure and death?
13 for #14books14weeks
Started this yesterday, and approaching the halfway point today! I can already tell I need to go to the bookstore and get the rest of the series. This is taking the place of HP #7 in my #14books14weeks stack, as it fills summer reading challenge prompts and HP doesn‘t.
pickI enjoyed this a lot! I liked the Percy Jackson series and this feels just as magical and adventurous.
pickJust finished the Lost Hero. It was ok, pretty good and entertaining read. I want to know Percy is ok more than anything. 3/5
Reading now. Really enjoying it. Sorry for not posting in a while. I have been really busy, and I'm sorry to admit, I haven't been reading a lot. Glad to be back in it, and I hope to post again soon when I finish this. I love Rick Riordan and the Percy Jackson series really gave me my love for Greek mythology.
Starting the Hero‘s of Olympus series while eating breakfast. Can‘t wait!
My mom just promised me five more books after the finals if I get my grades up! Can‘t wait.

pickLol at my book choices. Thanks brother for ruining my life with Greek and now Roman gods. I can‘t even take it. I loved the Percy Jackson series and now, I gotta finish this dang series to make sure that Jason properly saves the world. I find riordans Roman/Greek conflict so neat. Definitely something worth reading if you‘re into this sort of thing.
pickSuch a great continuation of the Percy Jackson world. Love the Roman twist and the varying perspectives. And what an ending! Loving this series!
Reading these books got me feeling like an awkward teenage boy. Can‘t stop or put them down. Finished the first series and I just wanna quit my job and school and become a Greek God or discover that my mom is really a goddess. That would explain my bouts of ADHD and awkwardness... #PercyJackson #HeroesOfOlympus
