The Mark of Athena

"just, so so good. I remember this being the most emotional book of the series."

"Book 3 Heroes of Olympic - The seven demigods not Roman and Greek are assembled but right as civil war breaks out. And the seven find out that Rome is even more dangerous than the Manhattan, San Francisco, Alaska, and all their other quests. Annabeth has the hardest task of being the first child of Athen to follow her mark all the way to the secret Rome holds. "

"I think I stopped here in the Percy Jackson Universe….TBD. "

"Oh my God. Everything about this was wonderful"

"4.5 stars, BRB crying, I’m too invested in these character"

"<strong>Awesome</strong><br/><br/>Fantastic book. Leaves you wanting to start book 4 right away. Percy Jackson's character has come a long way. Love how a whole group of demi-gods are working together. I love Leo."

"I absolutely LOVE the hunger games, Michael vey, maze runner, eye of minds. It's just so hard to pick a favorite!!"

"Oh my gods! Loved it! The plot is really coming together on this continued series. The characters are so lovable and dynamic and I loved the tension between Roman and Greek, Jason and Percy, etc. There are also parts that are just laugh out loud funny, which I feel is hard for a YA author to pull off sometimes with different audiences. Warning: This one comes with a huge cliffhanger!"

"Ahhhh this book is so cute! The Percy/Annabeth dynamic was beautiful"

"So far, this one is my favorite out of this series alone. It’s an epic tale of bravery, friendship, and the struggle for unity. This story follows the seven demigods of the Prophecy of Seven as they embark on a dangerous journey to prevent war and fulfill their destiny.<br/><br/>The biggest standout feature of this book is that it’s centered around Annabeth Chase. Going into this series, I was expecting much more Jason main character energy. I’m definitely not complaining about this change. Longtime fans of Riordan’s work will love to see Annabeth go on a solo quest that will keep them on their toes. Her journey to follow the Mark of Athena is so impactful to this overall narrative. We really get to see her identity come to life. <br/><br/>But what truly sets this book apart for me is Leo Valdez. He poured his heart and soul into the Argo II, controlled simply by a Wii remote. Leo provides some much-needed comic relief. There’s so much more to him than just his jokes and banter, though. He’s insecure and feels like an outsider, and I couldn’t stop rooting for him. Watching Leo rise to the occasion time and time again made me feel like a proud mom. He’s brilliant, and his inventions help make every scene he’s in unpredictable. <br/><br/>Each character brings something unique to the table. You can feel the tension between the Greek and Roman demigods, and the gods in general. All the friendships, relationships, and even the enemy dynamics feel so real. <br/><br/>This book started off slow, but once the action sped up, so did the story. I love how beautifully these books bleed into the next one, and I’m looking forward to what’s next."
