I actually liked the Mark of Athena's ending, perhaps only because I'm a fan of cliffhangers.

However, if they ever make a film adaption, they need to give Arachne the trolling music when she sucks Annabeth and Percy into the pit.

In fact, that reminded me of something; I love the series, at least back in the day when we were all fresh, optimistic younglings ready for whatever Riordan had in store for us, but one of the things that kills me is his interpretation of various deities and characters. I always sympathized with Arachne and Gaea, primarily because they, in fact, were the people screwed over by the big guy in charge, even when they were generally helpful and (maybe not in Arachne's case) kind spirited.
