I can’t say that there was a single part of it I didn’t like (except the fact that it ended, of course). No matter what tried to tear them apart, Percy and Annabeth always managed to somehow stay together.Īll in all, this was a fantastic book. Despite this being mostly an adventure novel, there was still some romance. He was constantly worried about keeping her safe and I found it very cute. Above all, Percy always placed his girlfriend, Annabeth. He always found a way to make it through certain problems and keep his group together. My other favorite character was Percy Jackson, who was the main protagonist of the previous novels, but was mostly equal with the other main characters in this particular story. He is perhaps my favorite type of character one that can be extremely serious at times, but would much rather go down smiling. Even though he did have a large influence on the plot of the story, Leo constantly provided wonderful comic relief. Leo was perhaps the funniest out of the seven main characters within the book. He was a son of Hephaestus, Greek god of the forge, and he loved to build things. He was usually the third wheel when it came to couples, but he joked his way out of any awkwardness that may have been caused. My favorite character was probably Leo Valdez. They felt so alive, almost as though they could walk right out of the novel. Yet another thing I loved about this novel was the characters. In fact, I even had to stop reading it in school because I would disturb people who were working when I came across one of these wonderful jokes. There are jokes in the most unlikely of places and it’s nearly impossible not to burst out into laughter. This book is one that can make me laugh days after finishing it. Perhaps my favorite part of the novel was Rick Riordan’s thick sarcasm and puns. Not only is it amusing, but it certainly makes things ten times more understandable than they would’ve been had they been described another way. When reading Mark of Athena, one can expect to find kool-aid used in a metaphor to describe the dissolving of a Titan’s head. A story seems ten times more realistic when an author can actually make it relatable. He manages to bring in multiple little details from the present world and somehow mix them with ancient Greek and Roman mythology. Rick Riordan’s writing style is most definitely the main reason I have kept reading all the way to the third book of his second story arc. Without a doubt this book will be making its way onto my favorite’s list. Mark of Athena is also laced with wonderful sarcasm that had me laughing in even the most serious moments of the novel. #THE MARK OF ATHENA BOOK SERIES#She couldn't risk losing Percy again.Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan is the third book in the “Heroes of Olympus” series and it has been my favorite by far! I love his writing style and the details he adds to the characters makes them come alive. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was about to go terribly wrong. Its massive bronze hull glittered in the sunlight.Part of her wanted to kidnap Percy right now, get on board and get out of here while they still could. She heard that whispering laughter again, as if the presence had followed her from the ship.She looked up at the Argo II. Annabeth felt as if someone had draped a cold washcloth across her neck.
