![]() I started reading Percy Jackson in fourth grade and I loved Greek Mythology, so this book was great for me. Ultimately, I would recommend this book to other people. I love Rick Riordan’s book and I look forward to the fourth book in the Heroes of Olympus series, The House of Hades. If I had the ability, I don’t think I would change anything in this book. I felt there is some holes in the book when switching between the points of view, but they are subtle. Reading from the different view points allows you to look deeper into a character’s personality and you’re even able to view their weaknesses and what keeps them grounded. I enjoy reading the book from different character’s points of view as well. The Mark of Athena has an interesting plot and sub-plots which keeps the book structured. I have read all the books Riordan has written and you can tell he has improved. This is a great, well-written book and Riordan’s writing abilities have matured. Percy Jackson is a character I can relate to, which is another realistic aspect of Riordan’s books. Percy’s fatal flaw is personal loyalty, which means he would sacrifice the world to save the people close to him. This shows that no matter how strong you are, you have a weakness and Percy knows about his weakness and he accepts it. Percy can breathe underwater, but he has a fear of suffocation. My favorite character in the book is Percy. Jason Grace, son of Jupiter Hazel Levesque, daughter of Pluto and Frank Zhang, son of Mars, are from the Roman Camp Jupiter. Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena Piper McLean, daughter of Aphrodite and Leo Valdez, son of Hephaestus, are all from the Greek Camp Half-Blood. The children of the prophecy are either Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter. Athena chooses a few of her daughters or sons at a time to find the statue but they always went missing. The only people who are allowed to find the Athena Parthenos are children of Athena. The four separate worlds must work together to save the world from Gaea destroying it. The purpose of going to Rome is to save the Athena Parthenos which will aid the seven in uniting the Roman and Greek gods and demigods. ![]() The demigods embark on a journey that starts in the western United States and ends in Rome. In The Mark of Athena, the seven children of the prophecy, both Greek and Roman, must unite to stop Gaea from not only destroying Olympus, but also the world. Each child has specific abilities depending on their godly parent. Percy also can breathe under water along with controlling it. Poseidon, the Greek god of the seas, is Percy’s father therefore, Percy has black hair and blue eyes - traits he shares with his father. The godly parent does contribute some traits that goes towards the child’s physical features however, there is much more unseen, such as special talents and powers. Any god or goddess has the ability to create offspring with a human. The series is about children who are half mortal and half god: a demigod. To understand the concepts of The Lost Hero, The Son of Neptune and The Mark of Athena (the books in The Heroes of Olympus series) it is almost imperative to read the Percy Jackson books. Percy and all the demigods are dyslexic and have a form of ADHD, making the story some-what realistic and relatable - a fictional world to escape to. Rick was an english teacher who started Percy as a bedtime story for his dyslexic child. It takes place about six months after the final Titan War in The Last Olympian, book five of Percy Jackson. The Heroes of a Olympus is a continuation of Percy Jackson & the Olympians series.

Its massive bronze hull glittered in the sunlight.Part of her wanted to kidnap Percy right now, get on board and get out of here while they still could. She heard that whispering laughter again, as if the presence had followed her from the ship. Annabeth felt as if someone had draped a cold washcloth across her neck.
