 * Summary**

I liked this book a lot because I like to learn about the Romans. I am also happy that Rick Riordan brought the dragon (now known as Festus) back from his book **//The Demigod Files.//** I think that Rick Riordan does a great job of drawing you into his books. The only thing I did not like was that it was rather easy to predict what would happen next. However, with so much action going on in the page you're open to, it's hard to think about anything else at all!
 * Review**

I would recommend this book to a friend, and I already have. Rick Riordan is an excellent author and once you pick up his books you'll have to finish it. I would recommend it to someone with a good vocabulary, for some of the names are tricky to say. It is a little hard to follow, for there is so much going on, and that is because different parts of the book are written through the eyes of Jason, Piper, or Leo. All in all, it's a great book!
