BOOK REVIEW: The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan, The Heroes of Olypmus #1

The Lost Hero (The Heroes of Olympus, #1)The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Per usual, I love the work of Rick Riordan and how he is able to mold mythology with the present. I haven't read the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series before and skipped to this one. It isn't too vital to read that series first, but it would help so you understand some of the characters being mentioned.

In this book, we get to meet Jason, another demigod, but from a different camp. We get to understand the purpose of his memory loss and the quest he is to go on with two other demigods he meets during this time.

We are the Goldens by Dana Reinhardt: Book Review

We Are the GoldensWe Are the Goldens by Dana Reinhardt
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was not a book I expected to like but surprisingly did. This is a tale between two sisters, close in age, going through the complications of being teenagers and the social pressures that happen at this age. I find that knowing who you are and who you want to be can be a difficult thing to balance and figure out and this story delves into this world.
