Annabeth wondered if he was scratching his chin with imaginary hands. That way, the ship won’t be on Roman soil. “We’ll use a rope ladder to reach the forum. “We can keep the ship aloft,” Annabeth said. “Terminus,” Annabeth said, “there’s no rule against hovering over New Rome, is there?” Leo pulled out his controller and yanked it upward. He wore a purple cape just like Jason’s-the mark of a praetor.Īnnabeth’s heart did a gymnastics routine. He was walking toward the ship with his arms around two other kids like they were best buddies-a stout boy with a black buzz cut, and a girl wearing a Roman cavalry helmet. The crowd in the forum was over a hundred strong now. “You cannot land!”ĭown in the valley, the legion reinforcements were halfway to the city. “And this entire ship is a weapon!” Terminus said. “Weapons are not allowed on Roman soil inside the Pomerian Line.”

Another small explosion made Leo drop his screwdriver. One of the very few times Piper met her mother, she literally ignored her like she was a backup dancer in a show.“Stop that!” Terminus insisted. In The Mark of Athena, it's clear that the goddess of love and the demigod of love don't really have that 'bond'. He picks a fight with Percy Jackson (and I know he was possesed but listen to this second part), AND HE ACTS BITTER AFTERWARDS!! LIKE,BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!! Ever since we were first introduced to him in The Lost Hero, I just felt like RR was trying to create a new Percy & it's not going so well, and it's kinda reflected in this book. Suuuuuuuuure, he's just a Roman demigod, but I'm not really fond of this guy. Last novel I was really happy to see Tyson again but he, and a couple more original PJ characters (such as Rachel Elizabeth Dare the Oracle, Grover the satyr and Chiron the centaur trainer etc.) are now side characters. I finished Son of Neptune and The Lost Hero and found the third book on my 'More Like. The hard work for our favourite demigods has only just begun!įour out of Five Stars – Bring on the House of Hades!! I will add though that I really missed Tyson and Mrs O’Leary, their presence always warms my heart, I am rather hopping we will see them back again in the last book (The Blood of Olympus) for the final battle. Unfortunately the story ends and the cliff-hanger with Percy and Annabeth will have you racing out to get the next book (the House of Hades). I’m only dropping it to Four stars instead of Five because in places I felt like some events got rushed as Riordan was trying to fit so much in. The extreme pace and non-stop action of the story propels you forward, the story races over the pages.

I think if you weren’t familiar with the story and hadn’t followed the whole series you may find this the third instalment rather overwhelming with so much going on. You’d think what with four different demigods narrating the story it would get a bit confusing, but even though the story keeps jumping between the characters Riordan manages to make it flow so that you don’t get lost. He lives in Boston with his wife and two sons. Rick is also the author of The 39 Clues: The Maze of Bones, another #1 New York Times bestseller. Today over 35 million copies of his Percy Jackson, Kane Chronicles, and Heroes of Olympus books are in print in the United States, and rights have been sold into more than 35 countries. Riordan turned to children's fiction when he started The Lightning Thief as a bedtime story for his oldest son. His Tres Navarre series went on to win the top three national awards in the mystery genre - the Edgar, the Anthony and the Shamus.
