...I choose The Mark of Athena because I love this author and was already reading this series. Rick Riordan wrote the Percy Jackson series and those were my favorite books, so I wanted to continue reading books like those. My first impressions were that it started it off slow but progressed quickly. The book was very exciting. The cover of the book was very interesting and wanted to make me read it because it shows two of the main characters that are allies fighting. In the second book The Son of Neptune , Percy, Hazel, and Frank met in Camp Jupiter, the Roman equivalent of Camp Halfblood, and traveled to the land beyond the gods to complete a dangerous quest. The third book, The Mark of Athena, will unite them with Jason, Piper, and Leo. The Greek and Roman demigods will have to cooperate in order to defeat the giants released by the Earth Mother, Gaea.
