I had first read it about a few months after it came out before the Son of Neptune did, but I didn't read it again until after the Mark of Athena came out, because I had grown a liking to at least Leo and Piper after that book. Thanks, haha. Yeah, Rick amazes me. No matter how old I get, I'll never say down Rick Riordan as a writer, no matter how crappy he gets. (Aside from the occasional snarky comment about his super corny titles and jokes). Rick's books have gotten me, and I know several others, through tough times. So I'll always appreciate and respect him as a writer. The Lost Hero was just refreshing to me. Jason is one of my favorite characters, despite being initially disliked by most of the fandom. The memories of waiting patiently for one of his books every year are memories I'll never forget.
