There’s also a wonderful cameo that marries pop culture and mythology (hint: it takes place in Rome). Just thinking about it is enough to make my head hurt.Īnd of course, the Riordan staples of adventure and humour are ever present. As if coordinating multiple storylines wasn’t difficult enough, but the plot also had to be laid out with the narration order in mind. The narration cycles through following Annabeth, Leo, Piper, and Percy, but the full roster of demigods are rarely all together in a tidy group (more on that later). Rick Riordan officially needs his own Talky Talk category. But I’m reserving judgement, since, for once, it actually IS complicated. There’s also kiiiiind of a potential love triangle-y situation brewing between Hazel, Frank, and Leo. Different (and even more chaste) stages of relationships are also represented by Piper and Jason, and by Hazel and Frank. Percy and Annabeth! Percy and Annabeth! Oh yes - they’re reunited and it feels so good! Well, not that good this is still a younger-skewing series, so hanky-panky is nonexistent. Even if I didn’t want her to be my BFF, I def. If you don’t think intelligence could be a superpower, then you clearly haven’t met Annabeth. The other six demigods may have flashier and more overt abilities, but she’s quite the powerhouse herself.
Where’s the god of multitasking when you need ’em?Įveryone gets to hang onto their BFF charms, but the real story is me FINALLY being able to give one to Annabeth! Long overdue, but like there was ever any doubt! Girlfriend is kickass - literally and figuratively. Avenge me.” Not to mention the Great Prophecy to end all prophecies, that calls for seven demigods to close the Doors of Death. The last time Annabeth saw her mother, she was given a helluva cryptic message: “Follow the Mark of Athena. And what if Percy has changed during his time at Camp Jupiter? Has Annabeth found him, just to lose him all over again?īut that’s not all she has to worry about. Now if only they can convince the Romans that they’ve come in peace. But only because omg new Heroes book, must read immediately!Īnnabeth and the Camp Half-Blood contingent have arrived at Camp Jupiter. Although embarrassing confession: I actually didn’t notice anything but the owl when I first read this. The only thing as consistent as my love for Rick Riordan’s books is my fangirling of John Rocco’s covers. Spoiler Alert: This is Book 3 of the series, so spoilers aplenty for Book 1 and Book 2.
