Book Blog 2 (First Look Book Review of "The Lost Hero")

Hello everyone! How's your reading going?
Well, recently I just finished two books, The Battle of the Labyrinth and The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan and they were amazing! But, I'm not here to talk about them, I'm here to talk about the newest book I started today. The book I started today was The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan! Now, if you cannot tell I really love his work, but for now we are just going to talk about the Lost Hero.
Today, I got to page 22, and boy what a start this book has! When you first open the book, you meet Jason, a teenager who wakes up on a loud bus headed for the Grand Canyon, holding hands with some girl he doesn't know. Now... I know this sounds odd, but it turns out the Jason has lost his memory. He can't remember anything about his own past, and needs his "friends" (whom of which he does not recall being friends with but they remember him apparently) Leo and Piper to tell him his name. You heard me! He doesn't even know his name! It's quite a horrible thing to discover about this character, and you feel bad for him, but you know that in your heart something will probably wind up being ok eventually. Right? Well, so far... wrong. After meeting Jason, Leo and Piper, the bus begins to pull up to a skywalk at the Grand Canyon to do some work together. Now why are they on a bus headed for the Grand Canyon? Well, apparently Leo, Piper, and Jason are all "horrible children" and have been sent to this place called Wilderness School. That's how this how happened in the first place apparently. So, after doing work and meeting some of his fellow classmates, Jason stumbles upon random and painful headaches, and also meets Coach Hedge, their teacher. And then, after having thrown a ton of information at him, Jason is told he is a half-blood. Jason doesn't know what it is and it freaks him out a bit, especially considering that Piper and Leo also turn out to be half-bloods. After this, it seems as though the introductions are done and its time for something interesting to happen. And yes, something very interesting does happen! One of their classmates, Dylan is actually a Storm Spirit and starts to attack Coach Hedge and the half-bloods. What happens next? I don't know yet, but this book is already an awesome, action-packed adventure that is bound to keep me wanting to read more.
Anyways, as of right now, I give this book a 4/5 and I must say, if you like action and interesting plots, pick up this book! I can already tell it's going to be a real treat to read!
As always, Have fun with your reading and read the Lost Hero if you get a chance!
Now, I'm off to read!
