"That," Hazel said, "is incredibly disgusting." "Try them with Esther's peach preserves." "That's your only comment?" Piper demanded. While Leo fussed over his helm controls, Hazel and Frank related the story of the fish-centaurs and their training camp. Once they got on board and changed into dry clothes, the crew gathered on the quarterdeck for a celebratory breakfast. A picnic basket bobbed to the surface next to him. "Where were you? How are you guys alive?" But at the moment, she was just so happy that she paddled over to Leo and kissed him on the cheek, which kind of surprised him.

What was she thinking? She didn't take a rope or a life vest or anything. She cried out with relief and dove straight into the water. When it finally came-three giant pink bubbles bursting at the surface off the starboard bow and ejecting Frank, Hazel, and Leo-Piper went a little crazy.

The dmigods paced the deck in silence, staring at the water and hoping for a miracle. We didn't get to spend a lot of time in Jason's head this time around because he wasn't being very forthcoming with Piper, so seeing him open up to her (not to mention promise that he's not stupid enough to break up with her!) was very endearing. This was endgame from book one.Īnyway, I loved this.
DOC TRUYEN THE MARK OF ATHENA SERIES
The whole series is about bringing the Greeks and the Romans together. Is it any wonder that she doesn't want her appearance to be the most important thing about her? I think Jason and Piper are good for each other. We can definitely thank her famous dad for that! She grew up in a world where her dad was idolized for his looks, and it was constantly pulling him away from her. So she's never cared much about appearance. I wish they would just leave me alone.") but I don't think that's fair to Piper. I've heard people compare her to Bella Swan from Twilight ("Oh, I'm so popular, I hate it. And Piper? I see a strong female demigod who isn't sure how she fits in with all of her madly talented friends. I can honestly say that I like Jason more for his imperfections and vulnerabilities. He's got insecurities, just like anyone else. And we can see from this scene that despite his royal parentage, Jason most definitely isn't arrogant. I see a guy with a few problems trying to be as good as possible. And once he had committed to Piper, he didn't go back on that by flirting with Reyna too. Sure, Jason was a bit of an idiot in MoA at times, especially wherever Reyna was involved. I know that Piper and Jason have been getting a bad rap on the internet, but while I hear the complaints and can even kind of see why people are saying these negative things, I honestly do not agree with them. I'm not used to being one of so many, well, equals. Jason looked uncomfortable, but he didn't deny it. We were always pushing teamwork, working as a unit. Coming from your boyfriend, I've been thinking was kind of a scary line. Jason plucked an extinguished candle from his cake. I would have liked to see that addressed, maybe along with the tattoos the Romans gave him when he became praetor.

What a heartwarming scene! That being said, there is a part of me that wishes that this conversation had gotten Annabeth thinking about Percy and his own Achilles' heel, or sudden lack thereof. Since Frank spent most of the book being portrayed as grumpy or scary or even a little unintelligent, I was so glad he had this moment with Annabeth to reassert his teddy bear tendencies. But thanks, Annabeth." He held up the Chinese handcuffs. The dinner bell sounded, and Frank jumped. "So what's the weakness you're worried about?" But Frank, you can trust anyone on this ship. "Percy has a knack for picking good friends. Thought you should know."Īnnabeth patted his arm. "Does anyone else know about this Achilles' heel?" She'd never really gotten the term warm and fuzzy, but Frank gave her that sensation. I guess you'd call it an Achilles' heel."Īnnabeth felt like she'd just had a drink of Roman hot chocolate. sometime, maybe could you help me with another problem that's not so simple? I've got. In any case, I give you Heather's Top Eleven Favorite Moments from The Mark of Athena! The top three are easily the best, but all of the others could pretty much be in any order you want-they were all just such great scenes! And at least three of my "scenes" are really several related scenes that have been merged together so that I can get the total number down to something that resembles ten. Okay, if I'm being honest, there's eleven of them.
