"The Mark of Athena"

 

After a year finishing The Sun of Neptune, I have finally moved on to The Mark of Athena. The past two books in this series are a little obscure, but I do remember the overall plot. Basically, the Greek demigods and the Roman demigods must overcome their conflicts and work together, in order to stop the evil Gaea, the goddess of the Earth. In the first book is basically in the point of view of Jason, a Roman demigod, and his adventure with the Greek demigods. The second book is about the adventure of Percy Jackson, a Greek demigod, with Roman demigods and it is told in Percy's point of view. At the end of The Sun of Neptune, the Greek demigods were making the effort to go to the Roman camp and unite with them. Now, the story continues.....

At the beginning of The Mark of Athena, the Greek demigods made it to the Roman camp and they informed the Romans that they must work together and stop Gaea and her children from taking over the world. The Romans were questioning the Greeks and that is were I stopped reading. I really haven't read enough to make any predictions, other than that the Greeks and Romans will unite to save the world, because I don't have enough information to form any other predictions of what this book will be about. So I will just start talking about Rick Riordan and his writing.
