OK, I've been out of the loop on good reads for a while now, but I have come back to see this page about the MoA, mentioning the resolution to the whole series. Calm down people we're only in book three, there's a long way to go...and i agree with whoever put that the book will end on another cliffhanger.

yep, look at ricks old tweet..."Most of my endings aren't actually cliffhangers. They just leave unanswered questions. Mark of Athena, however, ah... never mind."
grrr

Lol when I read that, it was funny, but really really annoying too. Dx
SPOILER SORTA part of 1st chapter is out. I don't understand what happened to Annabeth from her mother, if she did something bad or just didn't like what her mom did.
I think that she was given the mark from her last visit from Athena. I'm not sure, but it seems kind of likely; judging from the title.
ya, but what kind of mark, like, a scar or something? or is it like an object or something...

Percyjacksonrox!!! wrote: "ya, but what kind of mark, like, a scar or something? or is it like an object or something..."Yeah I don't know what it is. But I think it might be be some sort of scar just because it is a 'mark'.

I think she's trying to say that she's annoyed with Jason and his "perfect-ness" too lol.
I don't think it's a mark, I think it's symbolic. Not sure if she got the mark though. I can't imagine Annabeth did anything to piss off her mom though, she's like her favorite kid.And Jason is perfect, as in well behaved and nothing like a "greek". I love the contrast between the meetings. The Roman one is all serious with formal wear, where as they set ping-pong balls on fire at the Greek meetings lol. The Romans are just way too serious.
ikr, i like the greeks a lot more
oh the questions...lol

i think its like a curse or something, cuz in the first chapter didnt she keep talking about some weird feeling

Maybe annabeth got it because she was the best and Athena knew that she could carry out the task or mark or whatever it is.
ya, but it sounds like whatever shes gonna do is bad...:(
It seems bad for Percy especially. I hope they don't break up! )x

Hmm. That's an interesting idea, that Athena gave her something that would be considered a gift or responsibility. Annabeth would know the stress of accomplishing it, so that's why she'd think it was bad. It would explain why she'd want to pray to her mother still, I don't think she would if she were mad at her.

And apparently it gives her the chills (well, I'm guessing that's what the "evil snowman" is all about)

What if it has to do with Daedalus? Like he left clues throughout Rome, and Annabeth can find them since he gave her his laptop? Or maybe Daedalus made a deal with Gaea and is back.
Daedalus is tricky like that. He might do something like that; but I think it's unlikely because when he died, he had already cheated death. I don't think he would disrespect Athena like that by coming back. But I could be wrong.
ya, u never know with riordan...
But he hasn't really been mentioned since the BOTL, so I don't think RR will being him back/put him in the series. Maybe annabeth will have her laptop, but it is a whole new series.
Yeah, but it is mostly going to be brought back up since he has the Mark of Athena. Percy or Annabeth will probably compare it if someone new has it.
ya, cuz riordan said he would mention the grey streaks that percy and annabeth have in the MoA, and that happened in the titans curse, so its possible that he'd mention something from the BoTL
Yeah that's true. He also said calypso will be mentioned, so Daedalus could too.
i think theres gonna be some Calypso/Percy/Annabeth drama, but at the end PERCABETH ALWAYS WINS!:D
Yes Percabeth will always win!
Hey, classic Roman mythology depicts a Capitoline triad of Jupiter-Juno-Minerva, and in the first chapter of "Mark of Athena", Terminus tells Annabeth that "We Romans know the proper place for that (Minerva) goddess." In the back cover for "mark of Athena", it is stated :
"In her pocket Annabeth carries a gift from her mother that came with an unnerving demand: Follow the Mark of Athena. Avenge me. Annabeth already feels weighed down by the prophecy that will send seven demigods on a quest to find—and close— the Doors of Death. What more does Athena want from her?"
So, maybe there's a smaller quest for Annabeth to regain Minerva's place as a major Roman goddess alongside Jupiter and Juno...
Thoughts ?
Oh, and the tingly feeling Annabeth has in MoA, that Khione the goddess of Snow, from The Lost Hero.

Go to this Link if you want to see Riptide http://camphalfblood.wikia.com/wiki/F... Sick picture its now, What I think Riptide looks like.
Muniba wrote: "Hey, classic Roman mythology depicts a Capitoline triad of Jupiter-Juno-Minerva, and in the first chapter of "Mark of Athena", Terminus tells Annabeth that "We Romans know the proper place for that..."I figured she wouldn't have pissed off her mom. This is going to cause Percy problems, because he'll probably want to help Annabeth over the quest.
omg, i just realized something- u know how it had said the child of athena walks alone or something? what if that means annabeth leaves percy?!? u no, she's aloneD:
Ok I just figured this out: On the cover Percy is riding a pegasus which may or may not be Blackjack and Jason might be riding his "storm spirit"(temtest).I think they are fighting because of the promise percy made to Octavian about no one getting hurt. Maybe Leo accidentally sets something on fire and Octavian says he broke his promise and demands a fight to the death between percy and a champion chosen by Octavian and Octavian chooses jason as his champion that way on of his enemy's gets eliminated?
huh, ya, maybe percy and jason dont actually hate each other...
oh i thought it was about annabeth you know apparently annabeth is going to do something really bad and jasons gonna be mad and say something rude to her or like kick her out but percys gonna stand up for her
also very true...gah! i just want the book to come out!! only 3 more weeks;D
okay so i have a new theory, on his website it had said that while the 7 are in europe, camp halfblood and camp jupiter will be at war in the US, so maybe because of percys promise to the romans about protecting them he has to fight camp half blood...but that doesnt really explain the cover, does it? maybe camp halfblood will make jason fight on their side?..
