The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan
5.0

“Percy, let me go,” she croaked. “You can’t pull me up.”
His face was white with effort. She could see in his eyes that he knew it was hopeless.

“Never,” he said. He looked up at Nico, fifteen feet above. “The other side, Nico! We’ll see you there. Understand?”
Nico’s eyes widened. “But—”
“Lead them there!” Percy shouted. “Promise me!”
“I—I will.”
Below them, the voice laughed in the darkness. Sacrifices. Beautiful
sacrifices to wake the goddess.


I love the Heroes of Olympus series! This book is the perfect third book. I thought that Rick’s decision to truly unite the group at the end of the book was a great decision. I definitely needed to see the conflict between the characters and how Percy’s trio combined with Jason’s trio. This book had the perfect beginning (#Percabeth) and the perfect ending (#Percabeth).

No seriously… THAT ENDING GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS. And again, I really love that my love, Percy, is the exception to death. Nico put it perfectly in the last chapter, “Percy is the most powerful demigod I’ve ever met. No offense to you guys, but it’s true. If anybody can survive, he will, especially if he’s got Annabeth at his side. They’re going to find a way through Tartarus.”

I’m so excited but also really sad to be getting to this last stretch of the series. This was the series that got me to fall in love with reading!
