Another Sunday and Yin and Yang are back together to give you the review on the Lost Hero. So, today I, Yin, will be taking you through the first novel that led to a revolution in the worlds of Gods both Greek and Roman. It all started in a bus.
Our protagonist, Jason Grace felt as though he woke up after a decade of sleep and next to him was a pretty girl holding his hand (Yeah Yang, I know you call it a fortune).For any average guy, if he finds a girl holding his hand, he's not going to care how they got there instead he'll think about what to do next (Yang, I know I can capture masculine perspective so delicately. Now being with you has its perks, even if useless ones)But Jason wasn't the average guy. He was a demigod. Soon he finds out that the girl next to him was "supposedly" his girlfriend Piper (Yang, I know it can't get any better than this, now let me tell you, it took an hour of energetically frolicking around with my dog to calm her. So I am tired. Now, shut up) and they had another friend, Leo. All of them were heading to see the Grand Canyon. That's where everything went wrong. Their teacher-in charge was Coach Gleeson Hedge. They reached the Grand Canyon and all hell broke lose. A student turned into a Venti (unfriendly wind spirits) and knocked both Piper and Jason in the Grand Canyon. That was when Jason learnt that he could fly! Coach Hedge was captured by the Venti. They were saved by a girl and guy in a chariot. The girl immediately charged towards Jason demanding information about Percy Jackson, but Jason didn't know a thing about himself! How could he know anything about this guy, Percy Jackson. The three demigods are escorted to Camp Half-Blood.
After they reached Camp, Leo was revealed as a son of Hephaestus, Piper was a daughter of Aphrodite and Jaosn was a son of Zeus. Now, two of them are accommodated as Greeks. What about our hot, decent-guy protagonist? Even though he is the son of Zeus, he is not Greek. He is Roman, his father is Roman Zeus, namely Jupiter. Don't you dare say it's a planet, this post is mythical, not astrological. Now, in our previous intro, we wrote that Roman and Greeks don't go together, so how come a Coca-Cola has entered the neighbourhood of Pepsi? Clearly the work of a God (namely Hera/Juno). She just wants to poke her immortal nose everywhere. Now, I can't blame Hera (Or Juno) on this one. She did a fantastic job. Yes I said it. But her own interests were at heart for that particular time, you see, she was captured, and was due to become a wife of a giant, which is like the most ridiculous ship, pairing of two people, ever (not so much of an immortal, snobbish boss now are you?) Hera chooses Jason as the one who will free her, with Piper and Leo. As a custom in the camp, a prophecy is issued so that they may have a very vague clue of what will happen in the quest. Now how do they go to the prison to free the nose-poker queen of the universe? Does Jason get his memory back? What will happen to Jason and Piper, since she loves him but he is very confused? Amnesia does that.
Yang, what has happened to you? Have you reserved this day for being an overly girls-obsessive douche? Why do you think a pretty girl is the fortune and he is making a mistake by not "going for it"? Anyway, readers, do us a favour and read the book, it will be worth your time. Meanwhile, I'll go and debate with this guy of mine who writes. See you next Sunday.
