In Rick Riordan's new novel, The Son of Neptune, he adds many new characters and ancient Roman things to an already amazing group of people. He adds many new characters and the Roman version of the Greek gods to an already huge cast of Greek heroes and gods; however, three groups of people and ancient architecture really stand out. First, he adds a new group of heroes. This group of heroes are Roman and they have a new camp, instead of the camp that the Greeks have. They believe in the Roman gods instead of the Greek gods as is in Rick’s other books so far. Second, Rick gives the gods Roman names and new personalities that make them seem like new characters, even though they really aren’t. This makes them seem new and exciting because you think you might know them, but then they really surprise you by doing something completely different from what they did in his other series. Finally, Rick adds random myths from Roman mythology, instead of the usual Greek mythology he’s been using up to this point. One example is not a myth, but a real fact. In the Roman camp there is a town that demigods retire into once they just want to settle down. It has some Common Era things like a university and coffee shops and such, but it also has a variety of Roman architecture such as a coliseum and an old meeting hall. These examples of architecture are not myths at all and were real buildings back in Ancient Rome. All in all, Rick Riordan’s new book has quite a few shocks to hard core Riordan fans, but in the end is a great addition to his wonderful collection of books.
