About This Book

Percy is confused. When he awoke after his long sleep, he didn't know much more than his name. His brain-fuzz is lingering, even after the wolf Lupa told him he is a demigod and trained him to fight. Somehow Percy manages to make it to the camp for half-bloods, despite the fact that he had to continually kill monsters that, annoyingly, would not stay dead. But the camp doesn't ring any bells with him. Hazel is supposed to be dead. When she lived before, she didn't do a very good job of it. When

Our Review

This graphic novel adaptation brings Rick Riordan's second Heroes of Olympus installment to vivid life, following amnesiac demigod Percy Jackson as he navigates the unfamiliar Roman camp at Camp Jupiter. The visual format intensifies the action sequences against mythological monsters that refuse to stay dead, while the dynamic artwork captures the introduction of new heroes Hazel and Frank. Readers experience Percy's confusion and dry wit through expressive panels that translate his disoriented journey with cinematic immediacy.

The adaptation excels in portraying the contrasting Roman demigod culture and the growing camaraderie between the three protagonists bound by fatal prophecies. Fans of the original novel will appreciate how key emotional moments—particularly Hazel's haunting backstory and Frank's shape-shifting insecurities—gain new depth through visual storytelling. This graphic interpretation serves as both an engaging entry point for new readers and a richly rewarding visual companion for established Percy Jackson enthusiasts.
