The New Percy Jackson Story Is An Evolution In Writing

Honestly when tou think about it its kinda crazy that house of hades is still considered a children's book considering everything that was going pn in that book

I love the sun and the star SPOILER especially when nemesis and her other children tells Nyx that she’s more than the goddess of revenge and it was fucking amazing

I like how this book is gives us a better insight to nico and will’s characters. Many people say nico is just a plot device who’s character is all sadness, but this novel gives us more sides to nico. In will’s case, a lot of people thought it was random for him to end up with nico (and thought leoxnico made more sense for some reason), and well we didnt know that much about him. But through tsats we all got to see their characters get fleshed out :D. I like how it isnt another “the world is ending soon” prophecy that involves percy, bc 1) that storyline’s been used 3 times already 2) it would get repetitive and bland 3) percy deserves his rest Instead, I love this being a book to give us more information about what’s happening in the pjoverse and characters. I hope we get more of this, maybe one for Piper. It could be about her pov during the events of TOA. Sorry if this all made no sense im writing it all at 12 am :)

Rick riordan has to be my favourite writer

I read th sun and the star in one day, because i couldn't stop reading. It's a great book with a great history, great characters and a lot of things that i love. But the thing i like most is how it shows the friendship between Jason and Nico and how Nico deals with Jason's death. I really love that.

A freaking children’s book being the evolution of storytelling tells you how great the book actually is Edit: not meant to offend children’s content or that it being the evolution of storytelling is strange :>

What struck me about Mark Oshiro being onboard for The Sun and the Star is the books inclusion of lgbtq+ topics. It was always going to happen, but I don't think Rick alone could have written all of what we got. It's like, possibly the next phase in the Riordanverse, where Rick can work with writers who know more about some of the topics Rick wants to write about, expanding the inclusion in the books to be... well better.

"Lay it on me, Will. I'm your grilled cheese."

I am jealous of the kids that grew up with the books. I wish I was able to read PJO and HOO when they first came out. I could have read the stories when I was the same age as the characters, but I was just able to read them during pandemic after hesitating to read PJO because I am a massive Potterhead. haha.

Wow one of my beloved pairings is finally canon! Nico x Happiness!!! I have had that listed as one of my top ships for over a decade :')

For me the first "children" book that was way more brutal and mature than other books for the 10-12y category was Gregor the Overlander from Suzanne Collins. These books were so dark and graphic, I honestly dont know how she even managed to label them for this age. After watching this video I want to read the percy jackson series again and also finally read the heroes of olympus

I really love how the theme of changing the status quo was used in this book. It makes me hope that eventually it will be possible to have a more peaceful relationship between demigods and monsters, that they don’t need to be locked in this stupid forever war created by the gods

here's my take: the writing was good, the storytelling was good, the plot?? maybe a little weak, and i feel like i would have changed a bit about will and nico's dynamic. imo the story did a great job of completing nico's story but it was kind of sad in a way letting that go. i wish the setting had been more of the underworld not tartarus that would've really changed the tone for the better. idk just a thought. i missed the lightheartedness we should've gotten more of.

LOVE THIS SM I'm really glad that I'm seeing a lot of praise for The Sun and The Star, it's such an amazing book.

I got my childhood trauma from the house of hades and i loved every second over it

I've learned SO MUCH Greek mythology just from this series, ITS GREAT. Also, people say its a kids book while go to 1:47 of the video-

This is my comfort story When I feel down, I just open this book and spent 10 hours on it

No matter how old iv gotten or all the books iv read the Percy Jackson universe and Ricks similar works will always hold a special place in my heart

I remember reading the 3rd book and instantly loving Nico, glad he finally found happiness

Nico is my favorite character ever uncle Rick should write some story’s about where Nico was between the end of Titans curse to camp Jupiter
