The book ends with, well, a hellish discovery on the part of the seven heroes. I’ll leave the identity of this one for you to discover as you read the book. In fact, one god surprised me in particular, because, well he wasn’t all that helpful in the previous books. ![]() Other minor characters made a surprise appearance here. I’m thinking that he will become a major character in the next books because of his ‘new’ discoveries as their quest plays out. The others, not so much! Hazel, Piper, and Frank are nice, but Leo’s powers/talents are really cool. I got to know Leo more in the story and aside from Annabeth and Percy, he has become one of my minor favorite characters as well. Riordan sure knows how to write a cohesive story, with all ends met and satisfied, if not by the end of the book, at least by the end of the series!Īside from Annabeth, Jason, and Percy, the other heroes are Hazel, Piper, Leo, and Frank. This is beautifully and satisfactorily explained in the book and even gives rise to the whole plot. ![]() I was actually looking forward to Athena’s Roman children, but apparently there aren’t any. We also get to know more about the other five heroes, who, by the end of the book, I got to know a little bit better. Annabeth and Percy are finally reunited but the Greek and Roman camps are not exactly on good terms. In this book, we finally see the seven heroes coming together for their quest. Narrated by four different demigods, The Mark of Athena is an unforgettable journey across land and sea to Rome, where important discoveries, surprising sacrifices, and unspeakable horrors await. What if he’s now attached to Roman ways? Does he still need his old friends? As the daughter of the goddess of war and wisdom, Annabeth knows she was born to be a leader, but never again does she want to be without Seaweed Brain by her side. What more does Athena want from her?Īnnabeth’s biggest fear, though, is that Percy might have changed. Annabeth already feels weighed down by the prophecy that will send seven demigods on a quest to find-and close- the Doors of Death. In her pocket Annabeth carries a gift from her mother that came with an unnerving demand: Follow the Mark of Athena. Annabeth hopes that the sight of their praetor Jason on deck will reassure the Romans that the visitors from Camp Half-Blood are coming in peace.Īnd that’s only one of her worries. With its steaming bronze dragon masthead, Leo’s fantastical creation doesn’t appear friendly. ![]() As Annabeth and her friends Jason, Piper, and Leo fly in on the Argo II, she can’t blame the Roman demigods for thinking the ship is a Greek weapon. Just when she’s about to be reunited with Percy-after six months of being apart, thanks to Hera-it looks like Camp Jupiter is preparing for war. I liked Rick Riordan with the Percy Jackson series but he was just even better with the Heroes of Olympus series.Īnnabeth is terrified. It has 580 pages and each one just oozed with pure goodness. I waited an exact whole year for this sequel to The Son of Neptune and it has been worth the wait.
