Publisher's Synopsis (Hyperion Book)

Annabeth is terrified. Just when she's about to be reunited with Percy—after six months of being apart, thanks to Hera—it looks like Camp Jupiter is preparing for war. As Annabeth and her friends Jason, Piper, and Leo fly in on the Argo II, she can’t blame the Roman demigods for thinking the ship is a Greek weapon. With its steaming bronze dragon masthead, Leo's fantastical creation doesn't appear friendly. Annabeth hopes that the sight of their praetor Jason on deck will reassure the Romans that the visitors from Camp Half-Blood are coming in peace.

And that's only one of her worries. 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?

Annabeth's biggest fear, though, is that Percy might have changed. What if he's now attached to Roman ways? Does he still need his old friends? As the daughter of the goddess of war and wisdom, Annabeth knows she was born to be a leader, but never again does she want to be without Seaweed Brain by her side.

Narrated by four different demigods, The Mark of Athena is an unforgettable journey across land and sea to Rome, where important discoveries, surprising sacrifices, and unspeakable horrors await. Climb aboard the Argo II, if you dare....

My Review

Ada Percy yang konyol tapi keren abis dengan mata hijau pirusnya...

Ada Annabeth yang super cerdas dengan mata kelabu dan rambut pirang...

Ada Jason, si pirang bermata biru putra Jupiter yang so cool...

Ada Piper putri Aphrodite yang cantik dan menawan...

Ada Frank yang bisa jadi apa saja...

Ada Hazel yang bisa menarik kekayaan dan membaca dari bumi...

Ada Leo sang mekanik yang super duper handal...

Ada 7 demigod terpilih untuk menjalankan misi. Demi mencegah sang ibu pertiwi terbangun dari tidur panjangnya...

Ceritanya keren, seru, memukau, g bakalan bosan, tapi sayang...lagi-lagi ujung-ujungnya cliff hanger gimana gitu...bikin setengah mati setengah hidup nunggu kelanjutannya :'(

Ditambah lagi dengan kejadian yang menimpa Percy dan Annabeth...g tega ak mengingatnya *galau sendiri

Oooh pleassseee...The House of Hades...terbitlah segera...
