Why I chose The Mark of Athena

The reason I chose The Mark of Athena as my next book is because it is the next book in the series. It is continuing the story of the last 2 books with all of the same wonderful charecters. In the book they have to go save there demigod friend Nico from two giants. Again I think this book is easy to relate to because it is centered around teenagers and they have problems just like us, besides the killing monsters part. I'm really looking forward to reading this book. It's going to be really great I can already tell.

The Son of Neptune Review

The Son of Neptune is a great book and I would reccomend it to anyone. The begining immediately hooks you starting out with a lot of action and introduces all of the main charecters. I feel like this book has something for everyone action, romance, and even suspense. This is the second book in the series and I would reccomeend reading some of Rick Riordan's other books to get to know the characters. You can actually learn a thing or two from the book too because it is centered around Greek and Roman mythology. All the books that he has written have been great and this one is no exception. If you are looking for a good read pick this book up and give it a try!

Characterization Update in The Son of Neptune

The three main characters in the book The Son of Neptune are very diverse and have many different traits and problems. Percy is a son of Neptune the sea god. He has a just arrived at camp Jupiter and has no recollection of his past except for one thing his girlfriend Annabeth, he misses her desperately and wants to make it home. He is new at camp and has very few friends. Percy is a very powerful demigod with the power to control water and fearsome skills with his sword Riptide. One of his new friends at camp, Hazel has many problems of her own. Hazel was born in a different time period, she was born in the 1900's. She is in a new time period where the technology is like nothing she has ever seen before. Hazel is also suffering from blackouts because he does not belong in this time period. Hazel is a daughter of Pluto the god of death and wealth. Her half brother Nico also the son of Pluto is the one who brought her back from the dead. Hazel has a special ability the ability to control any wealth under the earth. But there's a catch anybody who touches the precious objects, gets hurt in a horrible accident. She is not liked very much at camp except for her friend Frank. Frank is a son of Mars and he is a little bit of a klutz. He thinks that he will never amount to anything even though he keeps being told that he has a special gift and that he is extremely powerful. With this great power comes a price his lifeline is connected to a half burned piece of drift wood, if the wood catches on fire he will die. All the main characters in the book are very powerful and compliment each other well. Their problems become easier to handle when they are together. They have a very tough journey ahead of them.
