The Mark of Athena, the third installment in Rick Riordan's Heroes of Olympus series, finally brings together the demigods from the first two books, reuniting Percy and Jason with their old lives.
Percy and Annabeth's long-awaited reunion did not disappoint, but Jason's chance to catch up with old friends was cut tragically short.
Despite the fact that she wasn't in much of the story, I really grew to like Reyna. She's a smart and brave leader but also isn't above admitting her own weaknesses.
When facing rejection from both Percy and Jason, she takes it with her head held high and doesn't let her feelings impede her relationship with either of them.
It was so refreshing to have Annabeth as a main character again. I missed her after the Last Olympian. Just as Juno/Hera promised, Annabeth was tested beyond belief in the Mark of Athena.
Learning about Sammy and getting to dive deeper into Hazel's past was also great. While she was definitely a force to be reckoned with, I have a feeling that her real time to shine is still coming.
It seems like he's finally coming into his element and, like Piper, learning that his godly parent doesn't define who he is.
And finally, Coach Hedge. I was surprised when I read that the Coach was accompanying the seven on the Argo II as their companion, but now I'm so glad that he is.
