All the ones who havent´t read the TOA books: It was one of the greatest, emotional journeys ever and it has to be read. Apollo become with the last books maybe my favourite character, with in Percy and Nico, and the last book is just phenomenal. Like the charakter development, the old charakters, new places and the final, it´s definitely worthy!! Love the 15 books Rick gave us.
Wow, I'm very happy to see someone who also loves Piper (although I've liked her from the TLH and I also love Jason and Jasiper, so I guess our opinions aren't identical, but still, it's good to see some Piper appreciation)
Yay first! My ranking of the the books. 5. The lost hero 4. Blood of olympus 3.son of neptune 2. Mark of athena 1. House of hades Ranking of the seven: 1. Hazel 2. Frank 3. Percy 4. Leo/Annabeth 5. Jason 6. Piper Saddest sacrifice: Bob😭 Fave scenes: TLH: Festus dies SoN: the schist thing MoA: Cliffhanger HoH: Cupid scene BoO: asclepius Weirdest part: The End fights in BoO Crush: (Nico, he's gay so... ) , Reyna, Hazel and Frank And to your brother: JUST DO IT!
Even if unpopular... I kinda have the same ranking.... I just don't like it when lost hero is placed low.... The reason: because we meet leo valdezzzzzz
Same, though I'd switch Mark of Athena and Blood of Olympus. Yeah, the final battle was underwhelming, but other than that it thematically made sense and I really enjoyed reading Reyna and Nico's povs.
never heard that one before lol but yh its ur opinion mine is 1:mark of athena 2: blood of olympus 3:house of hades 4:the lost hero 5:the son of neptune (idk what yall think of it)
Me thinking about how to pressure him to read the trial of Apollo while having read only the first books 😂😂 (as my excuse I had to wait for the French translation because I was not confident enough in English at that time and fell in a reading slump, and Meg was pretty annoying 🙃)
Hello! His opinions were really interesting and ToA is to be read! hehe. ToA has so many twists and does he know abt Jason? If not, well idk what he'll think of that since he doesn't like him that much. ToA's also like a wrap-up to the Percy Jackson universe where we go to both camps and the background of Meg's really good too. So, yeah. Nice vid :)
Really nice video, I'm not sure but your brother's opinions are......interesting. At some of them I could just see your inside pain (i felt it too you're not alone), but still interesting video baseckly i couldn't stop smiling like all the time (and i still can't if i start thinking about it). Good luck with the other videos they are pretty cool😁 P.S. sorry for the bad English. Hope you can understand what i want to say😅
5:00 The fear in his eyes! 🤣 I don't like Leo either. In fact my feelings about him are pretty much the same as your brother's. Thalia definitely needs more "screen"-time. Our girl practically disappeared from the equation when she stopped being part of the first prophecy and then she just popped from time to time. Oh, yeah. Mi contribution to pressure him to read the books: ... I don't know what to say to him 🤣 I read TOA because I wanted to read *that specific Reyna's speech* and the other characters just were in the way. I mean, I could tell him that it has a lot of pop-culture references and it is funny to see Apollo being confused 24/7 hahaha
I had decided to reread the riordanverse books in October 2020. Originally I had PJO, HOO and the first book in TKC. When I was in high school in the past I gave the books to my younger bro to read. He barely read them so I took them back in 2020😂Since then I got the rest of TKC, then ToA, and then the Magnus Chase trilogy. So basically I read the riordanverse from Oct. 2020 until early September 2021😂idk just wanted to share my experience in this long comment🤣
I've read the books for years, but I binge-read all three series (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Heroes of Olympus, and Trials of Apollo), in two weeks during the first UK lockdown.
Imagine not reading until 2 AM before having to wake up at 6 just to finish a book. I mean, being normal and taking a year? Pfft- But yeah, nice video as always! Cue me attempting to force my sister to finish reading/listening to TTC. Yeah, we haven't even gotten that far
SPOILERS FOR HOO I would say that my favourite scene from HOO would be when Percy is in Tartarus and he is visiting akhlys and he controls the poison which could have killed him and he uses the poison to his advantage and kills akhlys with the poison. Every time I read it it gives me goosebumps What about you @Unclaimeddemigod
READ THE TRIALS OF APOLLO JUAN! they're better than hoo (in most cases) and feature many interesting characters! also thanks to this series i started to like reyna much more than i did after hoo, so i highly recommend giving it a try!
I'm an 11 year old booktuber (I review audiobooks and I have reviewed Percy Jackson on my channel of course). I'm a little brother --- yay for little bros! Great vid!
(Spoiler for burning maze) You said rip to jasper when he hasn’t read trials of Apollo Also my least favorite POV is Percy’s Only because I’m used to Percy’s 1st person POV
I've always liked Leo the least out of the Seven. Yes, I know, very unpopular opinion. It's just because he often felt like a worse copy of Percy to me - another sarcastic guy with sense of humor who throws jokes all the time. I already have that. And like Juan said he was a bit exaggerated and lacked Percy's more balanced charisma. I liked Frank and Jason more (although I do have issues with their developments) because they felt like so different characters with different personalities to me and this gave potential for better interactions (which Rick didn't use)
My least favourite character was Frank. I don't know why, but he didn't seem to have any real importance in the series to me. I liked Leo, but he did seem like a rip-off Percy as well to me.
Problems I had with HOO: 1. Nico has more character development than everyone that new in HOO with less screen time. 2. Jason does not have a character arc as the main character with arguably most screen time. 3. Old characters OOC (Nico in SON, Percy in MOV etc) 4. God are useless except the stupid setting that a giant must only be killed by a god and a demigod combine power 5. Giants are weak (for example, bane of Neptune get killed by Percy quite easily) 6. Mother of earth is weak ( get defeated within 50 pages, I mean, last boss!! come on!!) 7. Leo character arc does not completed 8. BOO should be 2 books
Well ... I'm an Apollo daughter and my whole world revolves around Nico di Angelo (guess that's in my blood with Will being my half brother)...so my fav scene is from the blood of Olympus when Nico is basically a shadow himself and he's like if i die i die...it really exposed his loyalty and commitment towards his loved ones....
My rank is 4: The Lost Hero 4: Blood of Olympus (Honestly, I feel like these are both competing they're, in my opinion, both worthy to fight for 4th place. I'm just going to put them both even) 3:Son of Neptune 2: House of Hades 1: Mark of Athena (I had a hard time ranking these they're both amazing and worthy of first but mark of athena is just better)
No one should ever be pressured into reading any of Rick Riordan‘s amazing books! I will not pressure your brother, but I will persuade him! You say you want to see more of camp half blood after the giant war! Well, that’s basically the first book of the trials of Apollo! Of course, this video is seven months old so maybe you’ve already started reading it. 😊 i hope so! In the trials of Apollo we get a lot more Neko, Leo, Grover, Reina, and Rachel in that order. Also a few new characters and a lot more backstory trauma. Sounds fun right?!🙃 please don’t let Leo’s presence in one of the books dissuade you from reading it. It’s all from Apollo‘s point of you and the whole point of seeing these characters again is more to see how they have grown anyway. Especially if you were dissatisfied with the ending of the blood of Olympus, continue the series so you don’t have the blood of Olympus as your closing experience
Unpopular OPINIONS by yours truly (not mean to offend anyone, just thought I'd share after hearing his ranking of the books): 1) The Lost Hero and The Blood of Olympus are really good and are probably my favorite in the HoO series (I love the others but I'm obsessed with the two of them!) 2) Frank is the worst out of the 7. I didn't hate him, don't get me wrong, but I just didn't really enjoy his character. His chapters were my least favorite and I personally think he was kinda boring. 3) Jason is not the worst of the 7 and he's not 2nd worst either (I'm not saying who is my 2nd least favorite because I fear for my life but I'll just say that it's a girl and it's not Annabeth and I love Piper so I wouldn't rank her so low). I really liked him honestly.
I related to Jason as well, lol why mark him as boring if he is just a reserved character and likes to 'overthink'(I related to him a lot here) his decisions rather than his gut feelings???
i have read heroes of olympus and i loved it , but now i dont know what book to read. do u have any book seriesr recommendation which u think is really good
"Jason, I'm gonna give a six. You know, well, I don't really care about him that much." Us Jason fans/ he's a great background character/ WHY DID HE HAVE TO people bein' like= .............explain. Now. I'm gonna need some solid answers.
