[Nikki, The Curious One]

I loved this book, I loved this series, and I loved it's prequel series Percy Jackson and the Olympians! My favorite things about Heroes of Olympus? The addition of new characters! Leo Valdez <3 complete hotness overload haha. (I can't claim Percy because he is just too perfect with Annabeth!!) their reunion was so sweet in this book!!!! And when Annabeth fell? "We're staying together," he promised. "You're not getting away from me. Never again."

[Marrie]

I just got this book in the mail today! So excited to read it!!!!

[Alyssa]

My new favourite book in the series! I loved it because there was action and character development and Percy and Annabeth. Their relationship is sooo adorable but that cliffhanger...I have officially lost my sanity xD

[Harleen]

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THESE BOOKS SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!! AND THE PERCY JACKSON SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay sorry about that but these books are honestly my favorite books ever (its either this or the mortal instruments series) and I love everything about them especially the characters, they've like grown on me ever since I read the percy Jackson series. And...I'm team percy ;)

.....Team Percy? But there's not love triangles. Well I guess Leo-Hazel-Frank, but not anything to do with Percy?

I think she means as compared to Jason or something like that.

[Abigail]

I love this series... TEAM PERCABETH! Well, personally, I like the ending is SoN more, but my friends all went crazy after what happened in the end. But that's just me, and I'm weird.

[Marrie]

I just finsihed this and need somewhere to fangirl. But I can't come up with some witty quip for this book and how amazingly awesome it was. So I guess all I can really say is: wow.

[Nikki, The Curious One]

This book had QUITE a cliffhanger haha

[Alyssa]

I loved the book. My favourite in the Heroes of Olympus series so far.

But that cliffhanger.

Whyy?? D':

[Marrie]

Agreed Alyssa and Nikki. One of the worst clifhangers ever! D'': Now we have to wait ten months for the next one!!

[Alyssa]

Ikr? But isn't it about 9 months now?
Doesn't make it any better though D:
I thought the SoN had a bad cliffhanger, but then I read MoA...

Just checking to see if my whitty remark was fully appreciated... A literal cliffhanger, as in two certain people were literally hanging off a cliff

ya like I meant that some people like Jason better than Percy and that is just...outrageous.

[Nikki, The Curious One]

Ikr? It IS outrageous! How can anyone possibly be better than Percy?!!!?? I mean, I LOVE Leo and Nico, but they're not trying to be like Percy. They're amazing in their own way which makes them equal to Percy. Jason is basically a Percy-wannabe

[Marrie]

I agree with Nikki and it's so stupid how people say Jason would beat Percy in a fight. I'm just like -_-
Percy is awesome. Jason is just a wannabe Percy without all the awesomeness.

Yeah! Percy doesn't even need his wicked cool demigod son-of-Posidon powers to kick Jason's butt.

[Abigail]

I honestly wish Percy kept his River Styx powers tho. Oh well. He's still infinitely awesome.

PERCABETH IS THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED IN TEH ENTIRE SERIES!!!!!

Agreed. He's awesome with or without them.

I agree. That would be pretty awesome. But oh well. And yay Percabeth!!! They are honestly one of the best book couples I've ever read!

[Abigail]

I love Annabeth. She is so cool.

[Marrie]

I know. I love her. She's so good with Percy too. And I love their nicknames for eachother.

[Abigail]

They are one of the cutest couples EVER. hands down.

[Marrie]

Yup. They're definetly one of the top 10 Ships/OTPs for me :)

[Alyssa]

Yes, Percabeth is my number 1 ship/OTP xD They are just so adorable together.
And in Mark of Athena, was it just me, or did Annabeth get like, 100 times more awesome?

[Nikki, The Curious One]

I think it's just because she hadn't really been in the book much until that point

Yeah! I think because we finally got an Annabeth POV so we learned what she was thinking.
It's scary how smart she is. She recognized Reyna from like, 4 years ago just by how she moved. o.O
