The Mark of Athena

by Rick Riordan
PRMS hardcover 574 pages
genre: YA fantasy

A little confusing with all seven demigod heroes plus extra characters in this story. Basically, Annabeth needs to find the Athena Parthenos (a giant statue of Athena that has been missing for millenia) and the other six heroes need to rescue Nico. Gaea is rising, evil spirits called eidolons are trying to possess the heroes, and there are the usual fights and problems that arise on their journey to Rome. There's also the Greek / Roman problem. Fun, interesting, but not my favorite of his books. Of course, I'll read the next book in the series . . .

Favorite part: Annabeth outwitting Arachne.
