I also like how the Heroes of Olympus series uses third person narration versus first person narration. For instance, Percy keeps referring to the Feast of Fortuna as the the feast for tuna. I like how he uses mnemonics and humor to help with difficult words. Chapters are short and Roman mythology is explained in easy-to-understand passages. Riordan does a great job with pacing and character development. If the three don't free the god of Death, chaos will reign and Gaea, the goddess of Earth, will kill off all of humankind. When Mars visits the camp to claim his son, Frank, he sends him on a quest to free the god of Death, Thanatos, who has been chained by the giant, Aclyoneus. However, Percy is tolerated because he saved Jupiter from some Gorgons. Struck with amnesia, Percy finds himself immersed with a bunch of Roman kids who don't look kindly on the Greeks. Percy's back! And he is wise-cracking his way through another quest with a new set of friends and a different camp Camp Jupiter.
