![]() I knew it was coming, but it was like my stomach dropped down with them. What the what?! Rick! How could you do that to my babies? Ugh. The feminist in me did a fist pump for that. I love that Annabeth was/is kind of the leader of the team everyone looks to her because of her wisdom and knowledge. Thank you, Rick Riordan, for writing a kick butt female heroine that is smart, strong, and brave. Killing demigods just doesn’t pay the bills, you know.Īnnabeth is such a boss! I was literally cheering for her when she was on her journey, and she came out victorious! (Kind of, but we’ll get to that in a minute.) The performing giants! Glad to see that the monsters are broadening their horizons a bit. I love each of the “Big Seven” but seriously, how can anyone not love Leo Valdez? The part with Leo and Echo and Narcissus had me laughing out loud. I loved seeing the “Big Seven” together for the first time (even if it wasn’t the great first meeting) and I really enjoyed watching them grow as a team as the book went on. I freaking love Coach Hedge he’s the perfect non chaperone chaperone to have on the “Argo II.” Give me a kiss and then we’ll go stop the vicious goddess of Earth from rising.” I mean, what else did I expect?Ĭoach Hedge. “Hi, sweetheart, I’m sorry I went missing for six months after a nutty goddess stole my memory. This book! Ahhhhhh!!!!! That covers it pretty accurately. However, I digress, let’s move on to the good stuff! But luckily for me, I have almost a thousand pages before I need to worry about that. Riordan continues to blow me away with these books and I’m really not sure what I’m going to do when I finish this series. A really brutal, terrifying home, what with all of the monsters and war and whatnot, but home nonetheless. “Now.Reading this book series is starting to feel a lot like coming home. The crew fromĜamp Half-Blood was outnumbered a hundred to one, and even if Octavian had managed to stage some sort of trick (which she thought likely), they’d never be able to convince the Romans before they were overrun and killed. There was no time for anyone to figure out the truth. “Romans, kill the invaders!”Īnnabeth growled in frustration. Legionnaires in the field scattered as one of their catapults was blasted to splinters. She felt like she might shatter into a million frozen pieces. “The Greeks have fired on us! Your boy Leo has trained his weapons on Rome!”Īnnabeth’s chest filled with liquid hydrogen. Octavian had reached the bottom of the ladder. “I’ll tell you what!” cried a voice from above. Over by the fountain, Percy blasted the Roman mob with more water.Īnnabeth ran toward him, ducking a Roman fist and a flying plate of sandwiches. It was Octavian, his robes steaming and his face black with soot. One of the Roman catapults had fired, and the Argo II groaned and tilted sideways, flames bubbling over its bronze-plated hull.Īnnabeth noticed a figure clinging desperately to the rope ladder, trying to climb down. This time the flash of light was directly overhead. Percy’s toga was in tatters, but he looked unhurt.Īnnabeth called to him as another explosion rocked the forum. He and his friends, Hazel andğrank, were standing in the middle of a fountain as Percy repelled the angry Romans with blasts of water. He yelled at her in Latin, no doubt calling her a liar and a rule breaker but she pushed the statue over and kept running.įinally she spotted Percy. One trotted by Annabeth with his arms full of tacos and an entire pineapple between his teeth.Ī statue of Terminus exploded into being, right in front of Annabeth. They swarmed the dining tables, grabbing food, plates, and cups. The fauns had also taken advantage of the chaos. As if the angry Romans, burning couches, and exploding buildings weren’t confusing enough, hundreds of purple ghosts drifted through the forum, passing straight through the demigods’ bodies and wailing incoherently. She ducked past them, plunging into the crowd. Percy, Annabeth thought, scanning the forum desperately. She rushed off toward the legionnaires, her dogs at her side. “That’ll just make things worse,”Ěnnabeth said. Two artillery crews had set up catapults just outside the Pomerian Line and were preparing to fire at the Argo II. “Look.”Īrmed legionnaires were hurrying toward the forum.
