I can already tell this series is going to be brilliant. I've grown up reading Rick Riordan but I'm just now reading these books. His writing is what made me excited to read when I was younger. I remember coming home from school with the Kane Chronicles and asking my dad to dare me to read it in one sitting. So, my dad dared me and I read it all at once like it was no big deal. Then, I'd immediately grab the next one and repeat. The Lost Hero made me feel that way again. I love adventure in books and to be able to read it all at once. I knew these books wouldn't disappoint me. Now, excuse 
 me while I go read the next one.
