Hello, and welcome to another video! I hope you enjoy watching me go on rant spirals cause this is what that is. People suck. I've always known that. But apparently I need a reminder from time to time. Amazon is probably the worst place for reviews, because at least the ones on goodreads are funny :P
I hope you enjoy!

The whole reason Rick wrote the book with Mark is because Rick doesn’t specialize in emotional scenes (not saying he can’t write them). So Rick focused on the humor and the writings of the characters and Mark did more of the emotional stuff.

Mark came to discuss this book with my schools book club and he told us it’s also partially because Rick (an “old straight white man”) didn’t completely feel like it was his place writing a book about two gay teens. On a side note Mark is a really great guy and he told us a lot of interesting stuff about Rick and his writing process.

the thing that confuses me is that there are so many hetero couples in the first few series (percy and annabeth, jason and piper, frank and hazel, silena and beckendorf, leo and calypso, the list goes on and on) and they have absolutely zero problem with it, yet as soon as ONE gay couple gets a book, it's too inappropriate and forcing an agenda. Two boys kissing is apparently the most disgusting thing in the world to some people and that's just sad.

I personally think that getting specifically a queer coauthor for this book was a right move, because it touches on a lot more unique queer experiences that a straight man like Rick might not necessarily be the most qualified to comment on, like coming out and gay awakenings, and it has a lot more specific labels than most other books in that universe. Only really the second two Magnus Chase books and Tower of Nero have any specific labels at all.

Great but just a little tip. Please do not say your age online especially if you aren’t old enough to be on this app. I know it sucks but you probably shouldn’t have unfiltered access to the internet until at least 13 when you are actually allowed. and exposing your age can be dangerous because there are disgusting people on the internet.

@@-v3ga This and be wary of adult conversations. Your opinion on the book matters, but you have to be careful on the internet. It's best to write about your thoughts to yourself in a journal or in a google doc or even share your thoughts with the friends your age until you're 13+ like the site has intended so you can be prepared to have these conversations online.

In their pov's in Mark of Athena they both feel slightly off in there relationship, especially Percy. He feels like he's being useless to Annabeth and her quest but never says anything.

@annabethsky3133 Месяц назад

Honestly I kinda agree with some of the reviews. It DID kinda feel like a fanfic. It was way too lovey for me. The plot was almost a background thing. Then again that’s just my opinion as someone who looks at published books for plot and fanfics for romance. To me I felt overwhelmed and the romance didn’t feel special anymore cuz there was too much of it. Definitely wasn’t pushing a gay agenda tho, what 😂 Edit: I also did notice the co writing. I read the description and it wasn’t what I was expecting even then. This all being said, I’m also autistic and really don’t like change, so the fact that it changed from what I was expecting could have tilted my view.

@user-th6cs7fd4e Месяц назад

I went into this book expecting a classic Rick Riordan book starring my favourite characters nick and will, who I was rooting for with all my heart but I just thought it was written with the fact that the characters are gay in mind…the amount of times the word boyfriend is used is way too much like for example if it was Percy and annabeth they wouldnt use it so often? I felt that. Rick riordan was trying to normalize being part of the lgbtq+ community that it inadvertently made it seem different than a straight relationship.As a result of this I didn’t enjoy the book as much as I was hoping to because I was waiting for a solangelo book for a long time and it felt disappointing to me at least

I love relationships like Piper and Shel or Sundew and Willow, I just don't like the Solangelo dynamic in this book.

@paulhammond6978 Месяц назад

It feels like a lot of these people just don't know how gay the original greek myths these stories riff off already were. "In a world where a couple is a couple why do you have to make such a big deal about this couple being a couple" - for precisely the reason that so many of these reviews see any gay couple existing in literature as "political" in this world we are still at the point where making stories about a gay couple is unusual and still needs celebrating and making a point of. If (when) we get to a point where homophobia is a rare thing in the world then we can really say straight or gay makes no difference

Rick intentionally doesn't write in a timeline, his books pretty much are always set in the time he's writing them. Another obvious example is Chalice of the Gods, there's so much stuff in there that wouldn't have existed back in the timeline. As far as I remember, he wants to appeal to the current middle school generation more than to force an early 2000s and 2010s story. I just really can't remember which interview or video that was.

I've seen a GoodReads response from him in which he says that he doesn't see Percy as queer in any shape or form, but fans are welcome to headcannon him as such if they think it makes sense.

Okay I've never read anything in the Percy Jackson universe but like, surely you're not just buying the book without reading the summary right? I'd have to imagine the summary says that they're in a relationship if it's a main part of the story

If you like Percy Jackson you should check out Lockwood and Co by Jonathan Stroud. It even got turned into a tv show. It's about these kids who fight ghost in London.

@Unclaimeddemigod Месяц назад

I have seen it around before and it does look interesting

@SaveLockwoodNCo Месяц назад

@Unclaimeddemigod I highly recommend it! It's got Percy Jackson's vibes, and Rick Riordan himself has left a review and love it! You should totally check it out.

I can see why some people might not like this book, in the sense that it's not what they read Percy Jackson for, but I thoroughly enjoyed it for what it was, maybe in part because I like emotional stories. It also got me invested in Nico and Will's relationship in a way that their appearances in Trials of Apollo didn't. I felt like Trials of Apollo showed them bickering more than it showed them actually being a loving couple, and it didn't really feel like they were in love, so I liked that this book added some depth to their relationship and actually showed them being a loving couple.

I liked the book. But, the nonlinear timeline mixed with the dream parts was very confusing. I couldn’t tell you what happened or was a dream. I would say 3 stars. Also, Rick seems to be losing the art of subtlety. It has been an issue since Heroes of Olympus and is just getting worse. Mainly this issue was with Piper and left her character inverted within the fandom. It feels like Rick doesn’t trust his fandom to figure things out. If all a character thinks about is that they don’t think of something, then it’s all they think about. If the trend continues, we are going to have another DC Icons on our hands and nobody needs more DC Icons
