It's just that, not hearing from her side of the story for so long (7 books in total may I say, 5 in Percy Jackson and the Olympians and 2 from The Heroes of Olympus), it was weird finally seeing what was going on in that head of hers. The only thing I was bothered by in the book, aside from the lack of relationship buildups, was probably being in Annabeth's perspective. I love, though, how the demigods usually win their fights because of their wits and not just their skill in fighting. The amount of action in the book was great, not too little and not too much. It just makes me want to root for him more. How he's always be the seventh wheel and that he won't find his place within his brethren. He was funny, charming, but flawed and down to earth which made me love him more.
#Chapter 1 of the mark of athena series
He was, by far my favourite character of the series (aside from Percy, of course, but I think that's a given). Riordan did pretty good on this part of the story and I'm definitely looking forward to how their relationship will blossom in the next books.
I am so torn about them! On one hand, I find Hazel and Leo absolutely adorable together (although the Sammy thing DID kinda freak with my mind), but then I'd feel so sorry for Frank if this happens! UGGGG. But I suppose in their defense, they DID have to fight off monsters and enemies 82% of the time.įrank, Hazel and Leo, though. I felt like there were opportunities for them to have gotten to know each other more, like Piper and Hazel, or Leo and Percy, or Frank and Jason. Like some nice siblingy relationships or some tension, like with Percy and Jason for example. I have to say though, I expected more relationships built during the course of 500 + pages. Am I the only one?) But everyone else, Percy, Annabeth, Hazel, Frank and Leo, I absolutely loved. Something about that guy says traitor to me. Okay, so I know that I said that I disliked Jason and Piper before, but they're growing on me.(At least Piper is. His characters are still what I love about his books the most. AND of course, the Percabeth reunion (whooooooooooooooooooooo)!!!!!! This was the book that all the seven demigods were finally going to meet each other for the first time, and start their quest. I won't lie, this book was the book that I was the most excited about in this series. WHAT KIND OF AN ENDING WAS THAT, HUH? WHERE WAS THE HAPPY ENDING? Oh my God. 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 command: 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 figurehead, 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.
