![]() ![]() SPECULATION: Does Jason remember Reyna? Will he choose her over Piper? Personally, I'm rooting for Reyna and Jason. REALITY: Turns out as far as Riordan knows, Stoll and Gardner are not romantically linked. SPECULATION: Can we have some Tratie (Travis Stoll and Katie Gardner)? But we'll get to that when the time comes. As you can tell, Jason seriously pissed me off in this book. I don't care if Piper thinks Percy looks inferior to Jason, her delusional thinking really just adds to the fact that Percy is awesome. The character development is phenomenal, us readers truly understand how alike Jason and Percy really are, and at the same time, how different they are.ĭespite this though, Percy will always be my favourite. A budding bromance between the two heroes? Perhaps. But how awesome would that have been - eh?īut if you're an Octavian-hater, you're going to like what will happen in the first couple chapters of the book, primarily concerning a certain son of Jupitor and our favourite Seaweed Brain ganging up against him. On that point, I was right! On Rachel's return. And he did return with some murdered stuffed animals. Speculation: Octavian and his magical teddybears will return and Rachel will show him down. I know, I know, we're all sobbing over what happened to our favourite characters but stop and think of the romantic aspect of it. There were numerous mentions of it throughout the book and I couldn't be more pleased.Įven that ending, was Percabeth. Speaking of Percabeth, this book definitely had it's fair share in the lime light. I'll update soon (if I don't, you have the right to spam my account!) Percabeth kiss count: I'm tallying it up but I'm predicting over 10. And my little idea that they could have a kiss every single chapter didn't come true, but Percy and Annabeth SURE kissed a lot. It was tres romantic without going overboard. Reality: OH YEAH! They sure reunited and their reunion was everything the fans could have asked for. Speculation: Percy and Annabeth will reunite and share a kiss. ![]() And don't we all want to just escape reality for a little, and experience some awesomeness? I know I do.īut let's move on to the meat of the review. I left my reality of homework and tests and school and entered a world of action and humour and overall awesomeness. When you read Mark of Athena, you'll leave your ordinary life. Why? Because I was still living in the world of fantasy, in the world where Greek Gods were real and that demi-gods walked the Earth. ![]() For once, in all my years of existance, I left the library empty-handed. After reading this book, I wandered around aimlessly at my library, glancing over the pretty cover arts and the interesting titles but none being able to fully capture my attention. Or perhaps I am over-thinking this and Riordan just takes pleasure in watching his fans have their minds blown.Īnother helpful warning tip: Be prepared to have no other book be able to captivate you again, or at least for a very long time. Can you imagine that? A book controlling my emotions, an inanimate object controlling my emotions? But that's the beauty of a well-written book, it stops being inanimate, the words start to come to life. My emotions no longer were controlled by me, but controlled by this book. It's confusing, it still confuses me but it is also amazing. Riordan is able to toy with your brain and make you cry when you thought you were happy and make you laugh when you should have been sad. Reading will cause excessive sobs/laughs and an extreme conflict of emotions. This book though, should definitely come with a warning like this, right on the front page: It was amazing-I-would-marry-this-book-if-I-could sort of good. Luckily, Mark of Athena was the perfect book to solve my problem. I haven't read a good book in a long time. It's just not possible.īut of course, it wouldn't be like me not to try. Dare I say it, I believe no one can write a review justice for this book. I wish, I wish so badly, that I could write a review that would be able to express how badly I loved this book, how much I sobbed when I read that damned ending and how I just couldn't contain a fan-girl squel everytime Percy and Annabeth shared a kiss. I wish I could write this review that could do this book justice, a review that would please all the people who 'liked' my pre-review. I wish I could write this review to the high calibar it deserves. When I finished this book a while ago, I would log onto Goodreads every single day and every single day, I would look at my pre-review and think, how can I write this review? What should I include, what should I put emphasis on? I would simply just stare at my laptop's screen until my mom called me down for dinner. ![]() Let's start this review in the most eloquently put way I can: I have no idea how to write this review. ![]()
