Book #63: The Mark of Athena, by Rick Riordan
I just re-read my review of SON OF NEPTUNE and saw my comment about how it was less frenetic than the original PJ series. This book? FREN-FREAKING-ETIC. But with seven main characters and approximately a hundred thousand side quests, that's really not a surprise. And everyone bonded! Which was great.
( Let it be said of THE MARK OF ATHENA: it does not end with a cliff-hanger. )
Some favourite lines:
"It's a famous spot from the American Civil War."
"I'm Canadian, actually."
"Whatever."
"Perhaps later, if I don't have to kill you, I will share my brownie recipe."
"Hercules, huh? That guy was like the STARBUCKS of Ancient Greece. Everywhere you turn - there he is"
"But you're also my half brother, which means all the flying horses in the world are also my - you know what? Let's forget it."
"It's amazing what you can do with an Archimedes sphere, a girl who can sense things underground, and a weasel."
"I was the weasel."
9/10, because Annabeth is AWESOME and like I was going to give the ATHENA book anything shy of a high number. ;)
