ReviewsPRAISE FOR THE MARK OF ATHENA "With his now-trademark zero-to-60 acceleration, the author engineers a ghostly possession to set Greeks and Romans at odds and initiates the Prophecy of the Seven, hurtling Annabeth, Percy, Piper, Leo, Hazel, Frank and Jason into a pell-mell flight on the magical trireme Argo II. Here, Riordan's infectious love for his subject matter really comes through, even as he takes some real risks with his characters. A literal cliffhanger leaves eager readers hanging; next stop: Greece--and Tartarus."-- Kirkus Reviews, PRAISE FOR THE HOUSE OF HADES "Adventure fans will relish the action as their heroes confront formidable foes, while readers who have come to love the characters will enjoy following the different individuals as they take the stage in scenes that are usually dramatic, often witty, and occasionally surprising. A satisfying, penultimate entry in the Heroes of Olympus series." -- Booklist Online, PRAISE FOR THE BATTLE OF THE LABYRINTH *"The wit, rousing swordplay and breakneck pace will once again keep kids hooked."-- Publishers Weekly (starred review), PRAISE FOR THE SEA OF MONSTERS * "In a feat worthy of his heroic subjects, Riordan crafts a sequel stronger than his compelling debut."-- Publishers Weekly (starred review), PRAISE FOR PERCY JACKSON'S GREEK GODS "The novel's winning combination of high-voltage adventure and crackling wit is balanced with scenes in which human needs, fears, and ethical choices take center stage."-- Booklist (starred review), PRAISE FOR THE MARK OF ATHENA "With a true storyteller's sense of pacing, Riordan creates another compelling adventure, right down to the cliff-hanger at the end. Stay tuned for volume four."-- Booklist, PRAISE FOR THE LIGHTNING THIEF "Perfectly paced, with electrifying moments chasing each other like heartbeats."-- New York Times Book Review, PRAISE FOR THE TITAN'S CURSE "All in all, a winner of Olympic proportions." -- School Library Journal, PRAISE FOR THE SON OF NEPTUNE "Should pacing and wit continue unabated into the third volume, whose foretold European setting promises further freshness, fans will eagerly await numbers four and five."-- Kirkus Reviews, PRAISE FOR THE LAST OLYMPIAN "Riordan masterfully orchestrates the huge cast of characters and manages a coherent, powerful tale at once exciting, philosophical and tear-jerking. The bestselling series' legions of fans will cheer their heroes on and rejoice in such a compelling conclusion to the saga."-- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
