I was a little nervous about this book, after, in my opinion, the flaws of The Lost Hero seemed to get stronger in The Son of Neptune. But I have to say, Rick really delivered in this one. It might just be the best book since the Lightning Thief. And all of it was topped of with the mother of all Rickhangers.
