            Mark of Athena was on of the best books from the Percy Jackson series. Some points that Heather talked about are the characters and the role they play in the book. For starters she mentioned two of the main characters and how their personalities were incredibly diverse. I felt like that made a major contribution to the reason why so many individuals enjoy this book. There was a variety of evidence that was provided showing how different the characters truly are, from their names to their, they were completely different but somehow they still became friends. Heather also mentioned that the whole novel revolved around the journeys that Percy and Annabeth had gone through. Personally, I believe that the novel is not only about those two individuals, in fact it revolves more around all seven of the characters, their struggles and their relationship with each other, which were constantly spoken of throughout the book.

            I felt that the author did a remarkable job on this novel and it is definitely something that you should read. The theme that the author has embedded into the novel really touches people’s hearts, whether they realize it or not. It reminds you to never loose hope, and indicates that nothing is impossible. Throughout the book, the quest of the seven heroes provokes many challenges and arises many dangers, yet they always manage to overcome what is thrown at them. Since this book is one of the many books of it’s series, I feel that it is exceptionally important to find a connection between each book and to make the ending of each suspenseful. Rick Riordan has always managed to do exactly that. Unlike other novels, Riordan didn’t lag when it came to the rising action. He succeeded to keep it suspenseful throughout the book, which never lets you put the book down. The best thing about this novel is that people, of basically all ages, can connect with this book. Whether it is the fantasy, the suspense, or the emotions presented, people will always feel that they have become a part of the narrative so I definitely recommend you read the Percy Jackson series and make your way up to reading The Mark of Athena.
