OK! First off, I'd just like to begin with a HUGE spoiler! I will have had to wait 2 and a half years (including TLH sample chapters)to see Percy and Annabeth together again. 2 and a half. Years.
Sorry. Moving on.
My thoughts on the book:
-Amazing, as expected of course! I did get a bit bored toward the middle, but that was mostly because I really wanted to get to the end and see if the Argo II was there...so yeah. ;)
- So now we know who everyone is: Dakota (what is up with him?!), Bobby, Gwen, Hazel, Octavian, Reyna...When Reyna a dit the thing abouT doesn't Percy remember her, I was like, WHAT?! Where have we seen toi before Reyna? Talk! And then I had to wait another few chapters before I got the answer, but oh well. :)
-The quest was over all pretty cool! Percy's good at all of these impossible quests he's been givin these past few years. :)
-I loved the backstory for Hazel and Bobby, but it reminded me of Leo a little.
Questions I've been pondering:
- First off: Sammy = Leo is not a proper mathematical equation. That's...not possible! Leo wasn't born is the 1940s ou whatever! Maybe he's a descendant of Sammy...? (Props to HecateA if Hazel and Leo DO end up together!)
-Back on page, like, 20 ou 30 something, BOOM Achilles curse was gone. And then there's not a word about it for the rest of the book...? RR, we're not going to forget that it's gone, no use trying to hide it!
- I'll tell toi this, Percy Jackson. The one who will cause toi the most trouble is the one closest to toi - the one who hates me most."
"Annabeth?" Percy felt his anger rising again. "You never liked her. Now you're calling her a troublemaker? toi don't know her at all. She's the person I most want watching my back.
The goddess smiled dryly. "We will see, young hero. She has a hard task ahead of her when toi arrive in Rome. Whether she is up to it...I do not know."
And then:
Coming Fall 2012:
Heroes of Olympus, Book 3
The Mark of Athena
What I learned: Annabeth is important to the series. But what hard task? I have NO ideas that make sense, so feel free to comment! But... did anyone else find it funny that Percy a dit that she's the person that he'd want "watching his back." I did. :)
- Octavian...I don't like him. He reminds me too much of Luke. There is no way he is going to make it through this series as a good guy.
-Could Reyna be a, I dunno, threat to Percy and Annabeth's relationship? I mean, it seems like two praetors nearly always get romantically involved, the way she explained it. And Percy's praetor now...will Jason get his spot back?
-Does anyone have any idea what the mark of athena might be?
- Sammy = Leo = Impossible...right?
So...that's all I have for now. Thanks for lire my ramblings all the way down to here. :)

Prelude- 11:37 P.M. Summer
An eleven an old girl is being chased par a monster. Up ahead is a farmplace. Little does she know that the farmplace is Camp Half-Blood. Safty, she thought, but not completly! The monster was catching up and was soon right behind her. She stopped. Bad mistake. The monster lunged and clawed her legs. Blood ozzed from the wounds. She tried to run. It lunged again, this time clawing her neck and back. I MUST at least get to those woods, she thought. So she ran to the woods with all her strenght.
Somehow she Lost the monster in the woods. It howled and went away, angery it Lost its dinner.
"I'm safe," she murmered and passed out.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------So like? Will post soon. Avalible on fourm also. 3 fans/ comments= new chapter.
