Ratings and reviews

It was quite a good book I couldn't put it down, however at some parts it did get quite confusing. There are many mind blowing connections and references which felt really good. The book also has a lot of suspense and strings leading to many other things, incomplete connnections which are really speechless.The three things that suprised me most were the "invisible" island, Mars and Frank Zhangs relations and powers. Overall an amazing purchase and in my opinion a perfect mix of everything with a little bit of humor and a possible relative of Leo Valdez.

well,the book is just great.rick riordan has kept the percy jackson going well and interesting after all.i'll be waiting 4 the mark of atena.

Rick Riordan, can do no wrong in my eyes. His a fantastic author, Heroes of Olympus is a carry on from his Percy Jackson series and I love them both. Full of humour, facts and action. Bring the Greek and Roman mythology to the modern world, these books are just as educational as they are funny. I love the new characters just as much as the old, it's a shame some of the loved old characters are missing, but who knows they may show up at some point :-)
