About this ebook

In The Son of Neptune, Percy, Hazel, and Frank met in Camp Jupiter, the Roman equivalent of Camp Halfblood, and traveled to the land beyond the gods to complete a dangerous quest. The third book in the Heroes of Olympus series will unite them with Jason, Piper, and Leo. But they number only six--who will complete the Prophecy of Seven? The Greek and Roman demigods will have to cooperate in order to defeat the giants released by the Earth Mother, Gaea. Then they will have to sail together to the ancient land to find the Doors of Death. What exactly are the Doors of Death? Much of the prophecy remains a mystery. . . . With old friends and new friends joining forces, a marvelous ship, fearsome foes, and an exotic setting, The Mark of Athena promises to be another unforgettable adventure by master storyteller Rick Riordan.

Ratings and reviews

I mean i liked the humor and leo is hilarious action-packed but it felt like it was missing something i mean the ending wasnt really that good i mean we look for like big twist like that one really didnt excite me like the biggest twist were wen thalia woke up and like another time is wen u figured out jason and percy were at different at both there camps those were ur greatest moments do more like that but good job anyway!!

I am genuinely disappointed, I love Riordan, but I couldn't make it past chapter 3, we as the reader know who the seven are, but only four of the seven demigods should know that they are a part in the prophecy of seven, let Alone Annabeth, or Percy knowing. Also Octavian gets habitually bullied by both Jason, and Percy, and by book three, there is still yet any conclusive evidence by the 140 references of Octavian in book two that he has done anything to deserve it.

The other books were good, but the humor is overused and it makes the book just plain stupid. Such as the chapter with Echo, the chapter with Phorcys, ect. And Percy and Jason get hurt WAY too often.
