Review: The Son of Neptune

The Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rick Riordan cannot leave me like this!!! a cliffhanger right at the end.
Well, by this far, Riordan has mastered his storytelling way and he is constantly providing the thropes we are used to. Still, I like it when I know what I've signed for.
Once again, Percy is the hero. I never got his part of the prophecy or why Frank has the gift he has, but as in other works from the author, I assume that everything will be clearly explained in the last book of this series.
Hazel and Frank had to be somehow parallels to Piper and Leo. And I believe that Jason is portrayed with many of the characteristics of Percy but not overshadowing him. I wish I knew more of the battles of Camp Jupiter while Camp Half-Blood was trying to defeat Chronos.
Percy continues to be an ideal hero. he is resourceful and has certain disregard for rules. He is still true to his heart, what makes him dangerous for the gods.
The detail of the Art of War by Tzun Su as the gift that Mars gives his son is meaninful in many levels. This certainly was not my favorite of all the books but still, Riordan knows its target and I fully fall into his charm.

Review: Goodnight Darth Vader

Goodnight Darth Vader by Jeffrey Brown
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love Jeffrey Brown and how he depicts domestic situations with Star Wars characters.
I have never read the poem this book is inspired in, but I love the idea of Darth Vader taking the twins to sleep and reciting all the other characters that go to sleep.
To be honest is not as entertaining as Darth Vader and Son... but I can't get enough of Brown's interpretations.

Review: The Lost Hero

The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

There is no miss with Rick Riordan. I know what I will get and he truly delivers. For the ones who know his work but not adore it like me, this book may seem repetitive. However true this statement is, The Lost Hero is a great place to return to reading.
Percy continues to be the main character but we meet a heroe here that can give him a run for his money. Anabeth has become a wise leader for the campers at Camp Half-Blood. Leo and Rachel are great characters that are unique among the demigods, which makes them the perfect companions for adventure.
