The fight for you is all I've ever known.
The first full chapter of The Mark of Athena has been released on Rick Riordan's website. Be warned that I never read the first snippet of the first chapter that was released a few months ago - so this is really the first I've read about the new book.

In a fantastical ship called the Argo II, seven demigods journey by air across the United States and by sea to Rome on their quest to defeat the earth mother, Gaea. Meanwhile, war is breaking out between the Roman and Greek demigods they left behind, and only Annabeth holds the key to restoring peace.
Also,
Percy looked so at ease, so happy.
BECAUSE HE'S ABOUT TO SEE YOU, ANNABETH. Awww! <33
RR is such a super troll though and I can't trust him. Something's telling me that Percy and Annabeth either won't have a reunion (evil snowman feeling, guys) or it won't be very long at all. Something will whisk them away from each other as soon as they get back together.
The shipper in me wants Annabeth's trouble with her mom to be related to Percy too, but I really doubt it'll be something as petty as that. Shame, because that would have been fun to see.

THIS. SO MUCH. I don't trust him at all! He's the worst! Though I do trust him to give his heroes a happy ending eventually. That's one thing I'm confident in: especially Percy, because he's made a point of naming him after the only ancient hero with a happy ending. So I take comfort in that, at least. :)

We've heard Percy complaining about how set in their ways the gods are before: I think it's safe to assume that Athena's going to tend to assume the worst in terms of Annabeth's supposed 'divided loyalties' because of Athena's deep-seated rivalry with Poseidon. So though I think there will definitely be more to Annabeth's ( ... )

And oh GOD Annabeth is not on the INSERT VULGARITY HERE QUEST RR, Coach Hedge and I are coming to your house to threaten you with baseball bats until you give us our asdlgjsgj; happy ending FOR REAL.
Percy is on Blackjack though.
SQUEE.
I'm a little disappointed with the cover, honestly - I'd really wanted Annabeth to own it, but hey, she/Athena gets to be the owl, woo-to-the-hoo.

SHE BETTER BE ON THE QUEST! Or, no... I mean, I don't mind hearing about Annabeth outside of her relation to Percy, but if RR gives them like a chapter together and then splits them up again to be lonely and missing each other for the rest of the novel I will be SO FRUSTRATED I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH IT.
I AM IN LOVE WITH YOUR ICON. I MAY HAVE TO TAKE IT TOO. ♥
Yeah, I'd have loved an Annabeth cover, but I really like the owl, and even though its a bit busy, I like Percy's waves versus Jason's storm clouds too.

Same! That's exactly what I meant! RR, whyyyyyyyyyyyy are you such a freaking TROLL?! Like, not just with this, but with everything! I mean, GreeksvsRomans.com? Greeks-freaking-vs-Romans-dot-freaking-COM? Just... I like new sites. But the NAME! The name! My sister says all of this is a marketing ploy to make us all severely nuts in advance and preorder the book or something. All I can say is: it's working.
I just don't want them to fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight /sobs
GREEKSVSROMANS.COM. WHAT.
WHEE THEN WE CAN MATCH! Twinzies! XD
Yeah it is busy :/ But the owl is pretty cool, I'll give it that, and oh hey there Percy is looking like a bamfy bamf while Jason... uh, yeah. So those are the plus points!
