SSR review: Mark of Athena

In my book, Heroes of Olympus: Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan, the characters are Greek demigods sent out on a quest to save the world from destruction that lurks near.  They must be brave for new dangers are ahead of them in this emotional and treacherous journey.  A team of two halves that come from opposite worlds must unite and set aside their differences to overcome this new evil.  Each character has a chapter that focuses on that specific individual so it allows a lot of character development to occur and unfold for the reader to see.  They are all dynamic and have a wide range of emotions so they're not portrayed as one-note, monotone characters. The book itself is 586 pages with font that is small so reading it takes a while. Even though it's a long book, the plot really keeps the reader engaged into the story which makes the reader feel like the story is unfolding before their eyes.  The writing isn't very complex but provides a lot of detail to what's going on during the story and that helps the reader have an image of what's going on and what some things are supposed to look like.  If there were something I would change about the story, it would be to some of the filler scenes.  By doing so, it gets rid of any fluff and unnecessary moments in the story that, instead of enhancing the story, only make it drag.  Overall, I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in Greek mythology and likes a good action novel.
