![]() ![]() In addition, Riordan delves further into the Percy/Annabeth and Jason/Piper relationships, giving the reader a little bit of romance in the middle of the doom and gloom. I was pleasantly surprised at the way each of the heroes explores their own emotions and how they work into the bigger picture of forging an alliance to defeat a foe that from what we have seen so far, spells certain doom and pretty much the end of the world as we know it. Riordan has also shown our heroes gradually working together as a team, making attempts to overcome decades of anger and hostility among their ancestors that have become part of how they view each other. We’re also delving into more Greek and Roman myths, which for me is part of the appeal of the series. ![]() Why I finished it: The book definitely lived up to the hype and the anticipation: Riordan has dreamed up new challenges, new puzzles, and new obstacles for the seven chosen heroes to overcome. Why I picked it up: I’ve been foaming at the mouth waiting for this to come out ever since I finished Son of Neptune. But first, Annabeth has to find something that was stolen from the Greeks and avenge Athena’s name, and she’s going to have to do it alone. The two must travel with Leo, Piper, Jason, Frank, and Hazel to Greece to stop an impending fight against Gaea’s rising forces. Synopsis: Annabeth has finally been reunited with Percy at Camp Jupiter, but their happiness is short-lived.
