Book Review: The Mark of Athena

Hi everyone,
I recently finished The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan. I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars on Goodreads. You can see more about what this book is abouhere before heading in to my review.  This is the third book in The Heroes of Olympus series. There are 5 books all together in the series. Plus some of my favorite characters from past books and previous series. Before I get in to the review too much you can check out my February 2020 TBR to see it and the other books I'm reading this month. I'd love to know what your reading this month as week let me know either here in the comments or on my video. 

Now hopping on in to the review and this is spoiler free ,for the most part since this is the third book in the series, The Mark of Athena. Now that all our heroes are together they must journey across the sea to save Rome. I definitely liked that all our heroes are finally together and were ready to go on a great adventure. Which leads me to how long it takes us to actually get to Rome. It's quite a bit in the book before we ever reach Rome. These are big books! I was hoping there would be a little bit more time spent in Rome but the side quests that are in the Mark of Athena are pretty good. Like when Annabeth, Hazel and Piper go off to find Aphrodite or when Percy, Jason, and Piper go to find Dionysus. 
Second thing that I enjoyed about this book is that we get to see all the couples and light love interests that are happening as well. I love Percy and Annabeth so much their adorable.  
I also loved that once we got to Rome Annabeth has a totally separate  mission. I like that she finally gets her moment to shine. Plus Annabeth doesn't have any specific powers other than being smart to help her.

One thing that I did not quite enjoy so much was the pace of this book. It was a little slow since there were so many side quests before we reach Rome.  I would say this is one book that you can spend a lot of time on. Can I say that again IT'S A BIG BOOK! lol 

Over all I enjoyed this book. I'm taking a slight break from this series before heading in the to next book The House of Hades. I definitively want to see how the next book goes since now our heroes have been split up again. This was just so large and I had previously read the first and second one so I'm ready for a little change in reading.

If you've read this book let me know what your thoughts are and what your reading right now in the comments.
