Who else is annoyed that not all of the 7 got to narrate their own chapter?

I am sooooo annoyed that just 4 of the 7 got to talk!


Lani Yeah, it did seem kind of unfair.

While I would've liked to see every one of the seven get their own chapters in the Mark of Athena, I think it would have been hard to juggle all seven of the characters and keep the book balanced. That said, I get the feeling Riordan plans switch off the characters narrating each book to we can see things from different perspectives. (At least, that's my hope).


Lily YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


notyourfriend Well they cant ALL talk. They take turns in all the books talking. Seems fair enough. I just hope that Nico narrates in HOH!


Josey In case you didn't notice, the 4 demigods that narrated the chapters were the Greeks. I assume that since only the Greeks narrated this book, the Romans will narrate HoH. I really don't like the Romans that much, so I would prefer that they didn't, but it seems to fit the pattern. I can see why it would be annoying if you didn't realize that it was a purposeful choice by Rick Riordan to only allow the Greeks to narrate, but it didn't annoy me because I realized it from the beginning.

The good thing about this is that Piper isn't narrating the next book. :P


Elaney Haha! I definitely could do without Piper narrating. Ugh, it seems all she does is talk about how awesome Jason is. It's so annoying! I'm still not looking forward to the Romans narrating, though. Who do you think will narrate along with the Romans. It has to be between Annabeth and Percy, right?

Annabeth most likely since Percy got his turn twice already.

But I will actually want to see Reyna or Octavian narrate the Greek/Roman war because they seem to be the most interesting Roman characters so far. Very unlikely though.

Yeah, thats what I thought too!


Celestina It would be a prfect book if all of the seven could narrate. I would also love to see Nico or Ryana narrate as well.


Bailey Rutan I feel like if all of seven of them had chapters in the same book, it would become irritating and confusing for both Rick and the reader.


Allie Hilton I think the book was written great just the way it is and that, even though they didn't all get a chapter now, they might later...


Hannah My friend and I think this is how the narration will go:

TLH: Jason, Piper, Leo
SON: Percy, Hazel, Frank
MOA: Annabeth, Percy, Piper, Leo
HOH: Annabeth, Frank, Hazel, Jason
Last Book: All Seven

This way, everyone gets to narrate an equal amount of times. Personally though, I don't want all seven to narrate one book.


Anika All seven narrating would be way to confusing. I would go crazy if that happened!


Allie Hilton Yeah. It would be really hard to keep up with all the different characters' lives and feelings at the same time!
