Favorite Blast #3: Gaia Rising...

Hello friends...
Welcome the the THIRD Favorite Blast. Only 7 more to go!On this review, I'll be talking about the Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan. This series is a continuation of the Percy Jackson series. I've already reviewed the Percy Jackson series in Favorite Blast #2: Athena, Artemis and the Rest of Greek Mythology. If you haven't already read that review, please do, because it will be easier to understand this review...
Long story short: Two demigods lose memory. End up in separate camps. Need to stop Gaia, evil earth goddess. Now what?
The longer, more useful story: Things are completely normal in the demigod world. Suddenly, something weird happens. A mysterious boy with blonde hair is found with a pretty girl and silly boy. On the other side of the country, a dark haired, strong boy with deep sea-green eyes is found by two kids. The strange thing is that these two boys have no idea who they are, but evidence on them says that they are from the opposing camp. The blonde boy, Jason, is a Roman lost in the Greek world and the dark haired boy, Percy, is a Greek found in a Roman camp.
But that's not the only strange thing going on. The evil Earth goddess Gaia is rising and Death has been stolen. A mysterious prophecy unites the two camps and soon, seven teenagers are chosen to go on a journey that will change the world... or destroy it.
Meet Percy, a strong-willed boy who can control water and can speak to horses, son of Poseidon. And Annabeth, one of Percy's closest friends since age 12, a clever, strategic demigod, daughter of Athena. Piper is Aphrodite's daughter who can charm-speak and Leo is the seventh wheel of the group, with magical fingers, son of Hephaestus.
Then there are the Romans: Jason, a strong Roman boy, son of Jupiter. Hazel, a tough magical Roman girl, daughter of Pluto, with a deep secret, and Frank, her best friend, son of Mars.
These seven demigods have a destiny nobody can imagine. Can they defeat Gaia and her evil forces?
This series is very good and I love it. The only catch is that it is easier to understand only if you read the previous series. The books in the series are The Lost Hero, The Son of Neptune, The Mark of Athena, The House of Hades and The Blood of Olympus.
I recommend this series to ages 9 and above.
I really, super-duper love this series and I really want more even though the series has already ended!
