Loading... The Mark of Athenaby Rick Riordan
None. Harry McDade book review 5-2-13 The Mark of Athena By: Rick Riordan The Mark of Athena is part of the Heroes of Olympus series. They are written by the author of the Percy Jackson series, Rick Riordan. It is the third book of the series. Rick Riordan writes a lot about mythology, espacially greek mythology which this series is based off of. Both the Percy Jackson and The Heroes of Olympus series have demigods; which are half human half god. Each book has a different story but each series has a bigger story. The series tell the stories of some of the demigods. The Mark of Athena is about a group of good friends that are demigods. They Have teamed up to retrieve and ancient artifact from Rome. They have tons of obstacles to overcome from Hercules to Spiders. One demigod named Annabeth has a big obstacle. Her mother Athena the god of planning and wisdom. She asks of her daughter to retrieve something her mother lost to the romans. But her mother’s rival is protecting it and she is a biter. This book was a page turner, it is one of Rick Riordan’s best. It is a great book for mythology lovers and book lovers. I like that it is fast pace, but it does sometimes gets confusing on who is talking. I would suggest this book to ten and up. All in all I think this is a great book. Riordan has by-and-large laid off of the slapstick in this book (that thoroughly distracted me in the other Heroes of Olympus books). He really got down to business in this book; lots of character growth, personal revelation, action, adventure, and a respectable amount of time just getting more familiar with the characters. The ending annoyed me, but in a good "come on! What happens next?!" kind of way. can't believe I have to wait til OCTOBER for the next one! They just get better and better. Love me some LEO. A great read! Completely captures you as a reader and is pretty much impossible to put down. I cannot wait for the next book. no reviews | add a review
