What's the basic storyline?
-As the Greek demigod percy Jackson arrives at the Roman camp "Camp Jupiter", he makes new friends called Hazel Lavesque and Frank Zhang. On a mission to free Thanatos, the death god, Percy finds clues to his old lost memories, and finds out about an army of Giants trying to attack the camp.Percy and his friends go through dangerous monsters, and finally arrives at Alasca, where a Giant , the nemesis of Hades was waiting for them. Finally, Percy and hazel defeats the Giant, frees Thanatos, and comes back to camp to meet a warfeld in front of their eyes. The whole camp participates and destroys the army completely, and the
book ends as the Greek camp and the Roman one meets after centuries of silent war.
Are the characters believable?
-Normally, if this book was written by someone else than Rick Riordan, the characters would have been unrealistic. But because Rick Riordan can make a character's speciality, thought, and characteristic so well described, most of the charaters striked me asreal. The only exception were the Giants that didn't really have many chances to be described. Also, because the places and the story was really well chosen and scripted, this gives a big impact on the realness of the characters.
On a scale of 1 to 10(10 being best), how would you rate this book?
- I would give it a big, fat score 9 out of 10. This is mainly because of the author's best description, srong storyline, and the believable characters. Also, if you are a ig fan of the old Percy Jacson and the Olympians series, you would be excited to read about your favorite demigod back in action!
Your summary is average, but I like your response to whether or not the characters are realistic. There are some writers that are good at making realistic characters and apparently Riordan is one of them. This review, while not captivating, still makes me feel that perhaps I could try these books out.
