Well, Jason is a son of Zeus, Leo Hephaestus, and Piper Aphrodite. And for those of you who don't know who they are, go to camphalfblood.com and the password is newhero. Then you can read the first 2 chapters.
I just read the last page, like I always do, and theres a roman camp too! Jason arrived at camp half blood when Percy went missing right? And Jason couldn't remember anything, so Percy is at the roman camp and he doesn't remember anything either!!! Juno(Hera) had an exchange of leaders so they would learn the existance of each other.

Percy goes missing? When did that happen? And didn't Chiron say in the first book that the greek gods are the roman gods, but with different names?

And slightly different personalities. The Roman form is more aggressive.

*glares* Hopefully you can come over this saturday. A lot of people are waiting. Do you mean to say that you're a walking public library? Or am I not getting something? PS. I'm to lazy to sign in today |

Okay...and no. It's my book and when she came to my house on Saturday, I let her borrow it. Then the kids at school asked me if they could borrow it.

yeah. I always convince my parents to buy the book, then when I'm done reading, she comes over and borrows it. Speaking of, Night Whispers is coming out soon and my dad preordered it.

Am I the only one who thinks 'The Lost Hero' was a bit rushed? Plus that the changing POV of characters was confusing? One chapter, I'm reading about what Piper's doing, then I'm reading about Jason, then about Leo and then back to Piper and by the time I read the next chapter from Piper's point of view, I already forgot the last chapter with Piper's POV. It kind of put me off, but in Autumn we're going to have 'The Son of Neptune' book where it's ALL about Percy! Sorry for the spoiler, but this is called 'Spoilers!!!' for a reason. And yes, that son of Neptune that Mr Rick Riordan is talking about, was confirmed to be Percy.
Jason's girlfriend from the Roman camp is called Reyna (unknown godly parent, possibly Apollo, Mars or Minerva but unknown, that's my guess) which possibly means 'Queen' (since one of my friends looked it up and told me about it).
The Roman Camp is called SPQR which stands for Senatus Populusque Romanus ("The Senate and People of Rome"). The 12 lines (like a bar code) on Jason's arm is how long he lived at the Roman Camp. Oh, and for people who don't know this yet, Jason and Thalia Grace are full-blooded siblings (same mother) except the fact that Zeus is Thalia's dad and Jupiter (Zeus' Roman form) is Jason's dad.
Did any of you find it quite... weird that Thalia is named after one of the Graces (Thalia of comedy) AND that her surname is 'Grace'?
Sorry for my ranting, but when it comes to spoilers, I won't shut up until I spoke my mind out. I also realize that this post is kind of late, seeing that the last person who wrote something here posted in November, but oh well. I don't mind. Oh, and I'm new here. My name's Pollina. Errmmm... Cheers!?
PS: 'The Son of Neptune' already has a cover page made. It's going to be out on sale on the 4th of October 2011.

...O.o *random thought* He's cute.
Later: *laughing spasm* These things cracks me up. Random thoughts from the book:
'...or that Percy was the son of a barnacleencrusted
god from five thousand years ago.'
'“Achilles,” Stheno said cheerfully. “Oh, he was gorgeous!
Dipped in the River Styx as a child, you know, so he was
invulnerable except for a tiny spot on his ankle. That’s what
happened to you, dear. Someone must’ve dumped you in the
Styx and made your skin like iron. But not to worry. Heroes
like you always have a weak spot. We just have to find it, and
then we can kill you. Won’t that be lovely? Have a Cheese
’n’ Wiener!”'
'“You dimwit!” Euryale screeched. “You’re not supposed to
tell him that! He won’t eat the wieners if you tell him they’re
poisoned!”
Stheno looked stunned. “He won’t? But I said it would be
quick and painless.”'
'At the
Feast of Fortune, she’ll [Gaea'll] awaken, and the demigods will be cut
down like —like—”
“Like our low prices at Bargain Mart!” Stheno suggested.
“Gah!” Euryale stormed toward her sister.'
'He put the platter behind his butt, said a silent prayer
to whatever Roman god oversaw stupid sledding tricks, and
jumped off the side of the hill.'

I read the book right when I got it for Christmas, oh and a little detail about the tatoo. I know you explained the lines and the SQPR, but in the tatoo, there is also an animal. In Jason's, it's an eagle, it stands for your godly parent.
