Flo's
Summary
OH MY GODS. I have been
seeing all my friends reading this simultaneously (it just
came out this month) and giving it five star reviews on Goodreads. I
was even warned by one: "FLO.
THE ENDING WILL KILL YOU. I'm not even joking. You will die."
They
were right. Rick Riordan was at the top of his game with The
Mark of Athena. It had everything I've come to know about love
about his books: action, suspense, adventure, cleverness, romance.
These seven demigods are all fantastic, and it was so great to see
them all learning how to work together and trust each other. I was
amazed how something would come up in one part of the book that
seemed like and inconsequential at the time, but ended up being
something quite huge later on. As always, the settings were fantastic
-- I loved seeing both places I've been (like Atlanta) as well as
places I could only imagine through the eyes of the demigods. I have
never flown through a 600 page book so quickly! Rick left us almost
literally with a cliffhanger, so now I guess I have to face the long
year ahead of me as I wait for The House of Hades.
Just finished reading the book this morning -- it was incredible! I'm dying, already, waiting for House of Hades, though!
ReplyDeleteI’ll have to pass on this one, not a fan mythology or fantasy or new century books. Only a classic book lover here!
