The Son of Neptune

Rick Riordan again tells a griping tale of demigods and mythology mixed with modern times. I find his writing, while predictable, to be engaging and the characters are well thought out. The new characters from Roman heritage are interesting, likable, and still seem very human, despite their powers. This is what makes Riordan so effective, his ability to take these severely overpowered characters and still make them flawed, vulnerable and likable.

I very much look forward to where the story goes from here, as the clash between Greek and Roman demigods is imminent. Highly readable.
