When the rumbling stopped, freezing rain poured into the building. Midas cursed in Ancient Greek, thoroughly pinned under his chandelier. The rain soaked everything, turning the gold chandelier back to glass. Piper and Leo were slowly changing too, along with the other statues in the room.
~ page 360,The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan
While I'm not his target audience (which, at least a fair bit of the time, is largely 5th-7th grade boys) I like Riordan's stuff. I liked the Percy Jackson series and I liked The Red Pyramid and look forward to the next (The Throne of Fire) in that series (The Kane Chronicles). The Lost Hero is the first in The Heroes of Olympus series and I liked it. Don't think I laughed as much as I have with some of in the Percy Jackson series and it doesn't have the sibling interactions that I liked so much with The Red Pyramid but a fun read nonetheless.
Great snippet!
