Annabeth

I was walking through the throne room, talking to my mother, Athena. Yes, the goddess of wisdom and war strategy. We were admiring my work.

"Very good Annabeth. I'm glad to say my own daughter is-- A SPIDER!!!!"
I looked at Athena, confused. I'm not a spider! That's when she pointed to her statue and screamed.

I cringed, then looked at the statue. How bad could it be? The worst thing that could happen is it could be a- "SPIDER!!" I screamed.

I looked at my mother, terrified. Her grey eyes were wide, full of fear.
"DON'T LOOK AT ME!! GO GET SOMETHING SO WE CAN KILL THIS DESPICABLE THING!"...

Okay, so I've decided to do a review for each of the five books, starting with of course, The Lost Hero. These are my opinions so please respect them, thank you:)

Character/Narrator Review



Jason: I didn't quite like him, but I didn't hate him either. I guess I'm more neutral to him than anything? When I rank the seven from best to worst, he'd probably be number 6, but before I read The Mark of Athena he would be number 7.

Anyway, onto reviewing his actual character. I don't know, I kind of found him to be the most boring character in this book, and I wasn't quite as hyped reading Jason...

This preview of the House of Hades came out with the Son of Sobek eBook. It took some time, but I wrote it all out for everyone. Have fun dealing with the feels. :)

Chapter 1

HAZEL

DURING THE THIRD ATTACK, Hazel almost ate a boulder. She was peering into the fog, wondering how it could be so difficult to fly across one stupid mountain range, when the ship's alarm bells sounded.
"Hard to port!" Nico yelled from the foremast of the flying ship.
Back at the helm, Leo yanked the wheel. The Argo II veered left, its aerial oars slashing through the clouds...

Jason and Piper were by the fire. Piper looked deep into Jason's eyes. How did he look so good after going through soooo much? She doubted she looked as good. While she was thinking, she didnt even notice Jason inching forward until his lips were on hers. Her heart was thumping so loudly she could barely contain it. She leaned in further but Jason pulled away. "I remembered last night." he said. Giddily, Piper asked, "Remembered what?" He sighed and replied, "That Reyna's my girlfriend." She had planned the talk in jer head where Jason told her he had a girlfriend, but now she had no words. She looked away. "But Pipes I'm not the same man. I'm changed. And now I don't love Reyna, I love you. I love the way you look after a fight and I love your braids. I love the way you always lean towards me and inch closer to me. I love you." Piper smiled and whispered, "Reyna who?"

Fire in his hands
Love in his heart
Pain in his eyes
Trouble about to start
Moving in rome
Finding his home
On the outside
Though he feels so alone
All the joking and laughter
Justbhides the pain
It hides all thenpain
That keeps him sane
He looks to his hands
And sees the flame dancing
He sits wishing
Wishing he could be special
You might say hes special
But he doesnt think so
Fixing everyones problems
Instead of his own
Feels like an ousider
Abandoned, and cold
Lost and lonley
Afraid and alone
He wants to fit in
To be a subject of power
But he just slides back down
Like nothing.
Though he isnt nothing
He is a special guy
And if you look him in the eye you will see
That all he wants is to be happy
And to remain that way for eternity.

the end
Some critical points in the development of Rick Riordan's manipulative writing style are easily apparent in the Mark of Athena. The majority of the plot consistently backs up my past theories, (see my article Rick Riordan) and manages to suggest that Rick holds even more control over his readers minds than I had ever imagined.

Strategies Used To Keep Readers On Their Toes:


1. Increase in tension between characters

2. Added complications to plot

3. Withholding information for future surprises

4. Cliffhangers

5. Frustrating moments and characters to give the reader a stronger emotional standing

I have new theories on who's going to die and other MoA stuff.


I don't know about you readers, but I read the finished 1st chapter. I also checked the official book cover.

Okay first the chapter. This will have spoilers so if you didn't read it then, GO READ IT NOW AND COME BACK!
"She felt it again-that familiar shiver, as if a psychotic snowman had crept, and was breathing down her neck"(Riordan 6-7).

This can have some meanings I guess. What I pulled out of this was that Khoine was going to make an appearance. Anybody remember that nice evil goddess? Because I do.

The Trouble with Girls, and How Percabeth May Destroy the World

Situation
    Show of hands, who loves Percy and Annabeth as a couple? Most people, though not all.
    What I like about them is how they’ve always known each other, they always will. They’re best friends one second and the next they’re trying to strangle each other- but you know they still love each other. They’re opposites and they complete each other, and they know each other best: always will. One more thing: they will do anything for each other.

    So could...

Leo walked over to the Aphrodite cabin the minute when he was within a ten feet radius alarms went off.
"What the!" Leo exclaimed jumping.
The door banged open and out walked out two girls, Jenny and Haley. They saw Leo and scowled.
"Gods Leo go away!" Jenny said.
"What did I do? What if I was here to see Piper?" Leo asked.
"Um Piper hates this cabin she says it makes her gag, you know she's probably at the beach with Jason." Haley said crossing her arms.
"Whatever what' with the alarms?" He said looking fake hurt.
"We went to your sister..... Narissa? Yeah anyways, she set up alarms which would...

(HEYYYY umm this is a songfic about the percyxannabeth reunion(: The song really fits. This is a continuation from the mark of athena official chapter 1. Oh and please read the lyrics or listen to it first if you haven't. Enjoy~)

(Verse 1)
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid
To fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt
Suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

(Chorus)
I have died everyday
waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more

(Verse 2)
Time stands still
beauty in all she is
I will...

Percy's last meeting with Juno went like this:
Juno warns Percy that Annebeth might be a setback in saving Rome.

Hm, a bit suspicious. No way that's mere coincidence.

And Ella's prophecy did say something about the Mark of Athena.

On top of all of this, the cover of the book "Mark of Athena" is quite scary aswell.
It depicts Jason with his Imperial Gold gladius riding Tempest (the horse he had tamed in the run-down mansion) on a cloud of thunder and lightning charging Percy who is holding Riptide riding on Blackjack on waves of water with an owl (the literal emblem of Athena) in the background.

I...

Percy

As long as we're together…

They were still together, but for how long, Percy didn't know.

Percy's free hand grappled at the air, while his other hand clung to Annabeth's sweaty, pale hand, as the world around him got darker and darker, and the light above them, marking his friend's silhouettes got smaller until it was only a tiny pin point, and then it was gone.

A feeling of freefall was not a new to him. But the feeling of freefalling into Tartarus, the endless cesspool of evil, was entirely new. Percy wasn't one of those daredevils that went sky...
