The Last Hero

Book of the week: The Last Hero by Rick Riordan. Jason has no memories whatsoever. He and his friends, Piper and Leo, get taken to Camp Half-Blood and he gets a strange sensation that he shouldn't be there. Piper and Leo try hard to help Jason remember, but it is too much. Nevertheless, Jason and Piper get visions from Hera, saying she is in dire need of a rescue. Jason, Piper, and Leo embark on a crazy quest to save the queen of the heavens. If they don't, the king of the giants will rise and destroy the world. Your typical save-the-world mission. I read it twice and I still adore it. Unexpected monsters and trials keep you enthralled. More laugh out loud humor is to be expected. Rick Riordan makes a perfect bond between this book and the Percy Jackson series that leaves you starving for more. The first time I read it, I was devastated by the way it ended. He couldn't stop now! But this book was a classic Rick Riordan. I was capured, I was laughing, there was great suspense. This book is a good read for anyone who loves fantasy. Another awesome book by Rick Riordan is the Red Pyramid. Signing off, J.E.
