This is 1st book by Rick Riordan following the Percy Jackson series after the great war with the Titian's. They are defeated but there is a new enemy on the rise who wants wrath upon the Gods and demigods for destroying her Titian's. Percy Jackson is missing. Jason, Piper, and Leo are the new heroes in this book. Jason wakes up with no memory, with friends, and people he doesn't recognize. He is the son of Zeus. Piper is the daughter of Aphrodite and Leo is the son of Hephaestus the God of fire and blacksmiths. They attend the Wilderness School for troubled kids. While on a field trip their class is attacked and their teacher is killed.  Piper's dad was kidnapped by the giants. The 3 of them are sent on a mission to rescue Hera who was kidnapped when Zeus shut down Olympus.
      Leo discovers a secret cave at camp half blood and he finds a dragon made out of metal. He fixes it up and uses on the mission. He can make things randomly appear, control metal, make stuff, and has a rare fire power. Leo is traumatized by thinking that he killed his mother when he was young but it really wasn't his fault. Hera has tormented Leo since he was a baby and she still does. He isn't very excited about freeing her. Even though Jason has amnesia he knows he doesn't belong in camp half blood. He later discovers that his sister is Talia. Piper has the gift of charm speak. Her dad is a famous actor. They are part of a prophesy of 7 demigods that are supposed to try to save Olympus from Gaea and the Giants. On the mission they are attacked by cyclopes, encounter a King Midas, and meet Medea.

Ice Kissed

This is the second book to the Kanin Chronicles. The queen of Skojare people didn't feel safe so she had Bryn and Kasper come to the kingdom and make some changes to the guard. Ridley and her relationship started heating up too and he was willing to step down as Oveste so they could be together. I thought it was very romantic. Bryn's friend gets married. She feels at home in Skojare but she feels uneasy. The king's son Kennet takes an interest to her while she is there but she doesn't feel the same way back and get a strange/dark feeling when she is around him. The king is almost gets killed but Bryn and the queen save him. There were some jewels stolen out of the vault. The king is arrested and sent to the dungeon. Kennet becomes the next king. Bryn was right about the Kennet. He was responsible for the stolen jewels, the attempt on the king's life, and wanted him out of the way so he could rule. She accuses the prince of committing the crimes but he denies it. As punishment she is banned from her kingdom and Ridley helps her escape. Awe so sweet. At the end of the book she meets up with Konstantin Black, by accident, and asks her who side she is on and if she wants to join him. There are lot's of twists in this book and I can't wait to find out what happens in the 3rd book.
