This one took me a really long time to get through, but it was another good installment in the series. I was definitely rooting for the characters all the way through, and I loved Frank's and Leo's character development. I'd recommend this to any fan of adventure stories or anyone who is into this series already.

📖
I loved this book. It was amazing. The plot kept me engaged and enthralled, and on the edge of my seat a lot of the time. The characters were amazing and their relationships were strong.

My favourite of the series so far. I think I just enjoy the smaller group storylines better than when the whole gang is together. I loved getting more Nico and thought Frank's trajectory throughout the book was well developed and paced. I also loved Leo's path and thought he added great relief from some of the more tense sections. Overall, my issue with Mark of Athena was that the friendships didn't feel believable but that wasn't the case here at all.
