![]() On the way, they meet Hercules (who is actually a horrible, stuck up guy), they battle evil dolphin/men, and ballerina-wearing giants. Of course, when it comes to Percy Jackson, nothing is ever easy (duh, it wouldn't be exciting if it wasn't). So they embark on a quest to Rome to find the Doors of Death and Nico. Everything is going JUUUUST fine, then of course Leo gets possessed and starts blowing up Camp Jupiter, leaving the Romans hungry for revenge and Jason/Piper/Leo/Percy/Hazel/Frank/Annabeth fleeing for their lives, resigning themselves to the fact that NO, they aren't going to get the Roman's help. Scratch that, it is a TOTAL FAIL with the whole joining forces thing. Mark of Athena is where the two camps unite. I practically had to wrestle this book off my brother, he is so into this series, but I eventually got on to reading it. If you have got this far without flipping onto the next review, I am proud of you. (Ha! Take that Jason!) Don't get me wrong, Jason is really cool, but Percy is just awesomer. I was SO sad/heartbroken and the only thing that made me feel a bit better was that Nico admitted that Percy was more awesome/powerful than Jason. Annabeth tripped, and I was just like "Yay, Percy will do something awesome to end the book and save her and everyone else" but NO, they had to fall into Tartarus after a really sweet scene.(*END SPOILER*)ĪRE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?! Now I shall have to spend a year just thinking about all the possible ways Percy's awesomeness will get them out of Tartarus without becoming mentally/physically eternally damaged on the way (i.e. And then Rick Riordan just had to go and (*SPOILER*) chuck them into Tartarus. I am a huge Percy fan (No, Jason, you still have not and will never be as good/awesome as him). I just felt that this cliffhanger deserved all those capitals. No, the caps lock key on my keyboard is not broken. I AM GOING TO SPEND A WHILE RAVING ON ABOUT IT. This book is another great installment of Rick Riordan's mythological series. The Mark of Athena is a another greek/roman adventure, with your favourite characters, and new ones as well. He his rejected by everyone, and that makes me like him even more so. He brings humour, and you can't help be sorry for him, and even more so when he is told he is the seventh wheel, which sounds like he will never has his someone. I think that Frank is a sweet, loveable character, and Hazel seems to bring a bit of mystery, happiness and sadness at the same time, into the story. I think Piper isn't that clever, and might be all charmspeak and looks, even if she tries not to be. And Piper is always worried that Jason will run of with some other girl, like Reyna, and even Annabeth, which I believe to be plain stupid. Jason never really looks past himself, and he reminds me of that Narcissus guy, the one who fell in love himself. I never really like Jason, or Piper, they seemed to out of things, like there isn't a world about to end. And I love how he is so nice and kind to Annabeth, it brings a real soft side to the once tough son of Poseidon. My favourite character is still Percy, even if he goes a bit weird sometimes, he is still pure awesome. I think that Riordan needs to step up with the writing style, otherwise, he his going to lose some of his older fans, and that won t be good for anyone. And on top of that, six of them are dating (except for poor Leo), and their relationships feels like its five years to young for them. The seven of them-Jason, Piper, Leo, Hazel, Frank, Annabeth and Percy-are all teenagers now, and can't be describe in a way that makes them look like ten-year-olds. Throwing (SPOILER!!) Percy and Annabeth into Tartarus will bring out a more psychological side to the story, and will definitely change the way things are run.Īlthough I really enjoyed it, I thought that the writing was way to immature for the book. It brought life to book, as I felt that the story was being dragged out, and the things that happen felt really repetitive, monsters this, prophecies that, Gaia, Gaia, Gaia every where. This twists does bring out great things in the authors writing, and will keep people begging, wondering and worshipping for his work.ģ. It brought a massive unexpected twist to the story, especially since I expected a happy ending (I thought it was a trilogy! stupid me!!!). It made me want more, which will probably happen to everyone who reads this, so I think Rick Riordan can look forward to a lot of money in his future.Ģ. Now that I think about it, that cliffhanger did do some good deeds to the series:ġ. And what makes it worse is that you threw in the cliffhanger, and a HUGE one at that. Now I have to wait an age for the next book to come out, GREAT (throws arms up in air with despair). I'm really angry with you Mr Riordan, you are a cruel, cruel, CRUEL author.
