This is my fav book in the series so far. I love the characters sm. Percabeth is awesome in this, especially with that ending. Every time nico is mentioned I feel like crying lol. 
Some parts including Frank are a bit weird tho. They had to keep saying Chinese when mentioning Frank.  (ik he’s Chinese but they don’t say “American” and “spanish” every time they talk about the other characters, do they?) 
Be careful because there are lots of graphic descriptions (imo) in some parts tho. And be even more careful if you have a vivid imagination and have arachnophobia.

Every time I read The Mark of Athena it destroys me. Be forewarned that this book remains tonally and totally consistent with the prior books in the Heroes of Olympus and Percy Jackson series while deftly delving into wildly dark topics. A very important book.

Really good but ends on a cliffhanger. And I also felt the action was really segmented because of all the perspectives
