Review:
he mark of Athena is the 3rd book in the Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan. It continues from where the last book ended. Anabeth and gang arrive at Camp Jupiter, where Percy tells his gang that its time they met his other family.
At Camp Jupiter, Anabeth, Jason, Piper and Leo are all taken in to New Rome where they are treated like guest. But thats when things go awry. The Argo fires at New Rome causing conflict between the two factions.
All seven- Percy, Anabeth, Frank, Hazel, Piper, Jason and Leo- make their way to Rome to prevent its destruction and the death of Hazel’s brother Nico. Anabeth also has to fulfill her own destiny by following ‘The Mark of Athena’.
The story is quite good. It keeps you entertained till the very end. But towards the end there is a twist. Percy and Anabeth’s love for each other has been showcased efficiently in this book. Anabeth truly cares for Percy and Vice Versa. The third person narration style by Rick Riordan gets a little tedious at time but other wise it was very good. It would have been quite hard to juggle seven main characters in this, but Riordan and done a very good job with it.
The book was a very fun read. The end was just marvelous. Anabeth using her power of wisdom was the best part. I really can’t wait for the next book. Sadly another year to go!!
Final Verdict:
7/10
