Review
If you like fantasy stories, the Lost Hero is a book for you. Author has flawlessly connect the modern world with the ancient world of Greek and Roman mythology. Teens and tweens will feel connected because the gods and demigods are using high-tech products. It is very believable that the world of god and demigods exist. The plots are very tight connected, but the detailed is somewhat overwhelming. It is very excited to follow the characters from city to another. Every three chapters or so, the author changes the viewpoints/stories between three main character. It is good to not plainly focusing on one main character. Also, it gives a different perspective to view the whole story. Looking forward to the second book of the series.
