Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan, 586 pages
The Mark of Athena continues Riordan’s Heroes of Olympus
series. The book opens with a bang and keeps the action coming throughout. We continue
to learn about more mythological beings, giants, minor gods and history but at
a slower and easier to digest pace then we were seeing in the first couple novels.
There is also more of an underlying theme of individuality
then I recall seeing in the previous books. Here it’s not just the group of
three or five heroes succeeding together, but also each one accomplishing major
achievements on their own. Considering that some of the characters are becoming
young adults now it makes sense that they would be wanting to not only go out
on their own, but to also prove themselves.
I look forward to continuing this series especially with the
cliff hanger Riordan ended Mark of Athena on.
