Yeah, they do. They've done it with the previous books. It takes less time with stand-alones because, usually, no one actually knows they exist while they're being written.About 10 years agohyper_monkey replied to a comment in
Pretty sure the book isn't "tricking us". Even according to classic Greek mythology, she's immortal. Her soul can, however, be sent so far into the depths of tartarus that she could never return.About 10 years agohyper_monkey added a book review.
Hey, everybody! I think we should all talk about and reflect on all the minor characters who we haven't seen nearly enough of in HoO. (The Stoll brothers, Katie, Clarisse, Chris, Nyssa, Jake, Will, Mitchell, Lacy, Tyson, Grover, Mrs. O'Leary, Gwen, Dakota, etc.) Who do you think will die? (I hope it isn't Gwen or Dakota. I like them. They're cool.)About 10 years agohyper_monkey has watched this movie.

Well, duh, it's still Rick Riordan. But I don't think I'm ready to let go of the whole cast of characters that I grew up with. They're kind of a part of me, and, really, a part of all of us. Remember when you first met that struggling, twelve-year-old boy at Yancy Academy? He wasn't a hero then. In fact, he wasn't even popular. He was what society treated as a lost cause. He thought he would never amount to anything, not in the real world. But, in reality, he had no idea what the 'real world' was. In a modern world packed with Greek mythology, he finally had a chance to be seen as himself, not as a label. I don't know about you, but I was just a kid when I read that. (Well, I'm still a kid, but you know what I mean.) This was all new and magical and perfect. And the story stayed with me. The characters stayed with me. Percy's been here for so long. I can't imagine him leaving. So, basically, I'm both looking forward to and totally dreading Blood of Olympus.About 10 years agohyper_monkey added a new comment in
This is awesome, but I probably won't get to see it. It's supposed to rain, plus it's on Passover in the middle of the first Seder. (Excited for Passover, though. Chag Sameach to anyone celebrating!)About 10 years agohyper_monkey added a new comment in
