Rick Riordan combines plenty of action and danger (usually not gory but sometimes scary) mixed with lots of humor and learning. Parents need to know that The Mark of Athena is the third in The Heroes of Olympus series that spun off from the uber-popular Percy Jackson series about teen demigods (one Greek or Roman god parent) on quests to save humanity from ancient monsters still at large in the world.

Do not presume to question our decision,” said Lady Tsuguko sharply. I have no greater ambition than to serve Her Highness.” The words came tumbling out. Her Highness has always been far kinder to me than I deserve. “Madam… Your ladyship… This is too great an honour. Then, as she began to grasp the full meaning of the words, she gasped with shock. “I am not worthy of such an honour,” she stammered. At His Majesty’s request Her Highness is presenting you to him as her farewell gift, as a concubine for him.”Ī concubine! Sachi bowed her face to the tatami. “You have been promoted to a maid of middle rank. “The innocence of the child,” said Lady Tsuguko, laughing softly.

In this final installment of the series, there are only 14 days left until impact. In Book Two, Countdown City, only 77 days remained. In the first book in this trilogy, The Last Policeman, there were six months left until the date of collision. It will, according to reliable sources, cause a series of interlocking cataclysms resulting in the immediate death of at least half the world’s population, with later deaths to follow. ![]() In fact, people all over the world walked off their jobs, because “Maia,” a 6.5-kilometer-diameter asteroid, is on a collision course with the earth. Henry (“Hank”) Palace, 29, is a police detective in Concord, New Hampshire, who got promoted from patrol officer because basically everybody else walked off the job. This is the third book in a pre-apocalyptic/noir/police-procedural series set in more-or-less current times.

Partly I loved it because it took me to a world I know little about (the middle east), and partly I loved it because it dances along a line of fantasy without ever (though I suppose this is debatable) crossing over. Not to sound like a total snot or anything, but even the debut fiction that is recommend or makes it onto some list somewhere, often strikes me as needing qualification: “it was a great book, for a first novel.” I’m not interested in qualifications.Īnd so I loved Alif. ![]() The thing I’ve found is that a lot of debut fiction reads like debut fiction. ![]() If you read along you know I’ve been trying to read more debut fiction to try to get a better sense of how my first novel will fit into the marketplace. ![]() ![]() “Alif the Unseen” came to my attention when it appeared on a list of top ten of debut novels for 2012.
