Is Percy in the book and is it any good?

Percy isn't in the first book, however he will play a major part in the series. The Lost Hero pretty much has the same format and structure as the Percy Jackson series. Plus there are many returning characters as well as amazing new characters. The story is interesting and really held my attention the whole way through. I'm not going to say it's better than the Percy Jackson series, but it has a whole lot of promise.

I came to love the characters by the end of the book and honestly I think it's worth reading if you're a Rick Riordan/Percy Jackson fan. As far as a rating would go, I'd give it a 8.

A major difference between the two books is that the point of view changes between Jason, Piper and Leo - but every chapter identifies which character's point of view the chapter is in. I actually kind of liked the change between the characters and found it somewhat refreshing, but it might bother some.

It doesnt have Percy (yet) but it is well worth reading. I am positive he will turn up somewhere in the series and that he will play a major role in the series once more. Read it and you will be hooked

yes percy is in the series but not the first they only mention him being lost

If you like the fist series you should TOTALLY read this one. Percy isn't actually in it, but he's mentioned a lot and all your other familliar characters are in it. I'm pretty sure he'll be in the Son of Neptune. Neptune is Posideon. i LOVE this book, its one of my favorites from the series.
