An essay about my feelings for Mark of Athena

[greenconverses]

Wow, there’s a lot to talk about with this book. I almost wish I could through chapter-by-chapter and highlight everything I want to talk about, but that would be a very long post indeed. And this is probably going to be long by my reaction posts standards because I don’t want to totally fangirl all over it like I normally do

ps I think Frank and Leo don't like each other cause of the whole Heph and Ares thing.

This post is a gift.

I haven't finished the book yet and spoiled myself horribly but that's okay because your meta is awesome and worth it.

Also Annabeth is awesome. Anyone in fandom who doesn't see that can just keep walking.

I'm not even close to the end of this book, but I haven't even tried to avoid spoilers, so. You've pretty much echoed all my thoughts I'm having about this book and these characters and DAMN YOU RSQUARED I WANT A NICO POV PLEASE THE END.

A Hazel/Frank/Jason POV-fest the next book? OH HELL NO I HOPE NOT. Hazel, yes, but the other two, no. Please.

I thought he is going to follow having 4 pov characters now, so Nico would probably have pov chapters in the next book?

I'm not sure what his plan for POVs with the next book is. Obviously he's rotating them, so it'd make sense that Jason, Hazel and Frank are next in line to be narrators. Nico's not a prophecy kid, so the chances of him being a narrator are fairly slim.

The thing I really want to see, in terms of CJ vs CHB, is for CHB to make a gigantic teddy bear, have the Hecate kids enchant it, and then the teddy gut Octavian and go: "the omens say look up, there's a big Athena statue"
and then everyone looks up and the Argo II is there with everyone ALIVE and waving and Athena Parthenos has pride-of-place...
Or maybe I'm just weird...
