I'm not against the series (I own it)
It's just that it's not as great as everyone says it is

I really only like the first series. The characters were great in HOO, but PJO wins hands down.

I've never read it mainly because I don't like the hype around it.

Yeah, I only really cared for the first series.

Nothing will beat Percy's narration skills.

Yep, it's literally me trying to write an essay.

Plus, Grover was next to nonexistent in HOO.

Yeah, I didn't care for HOO at all. (It's been about five years since I've read any of Rick Riordans books…)

THEN GUDBAI. I HOPE THIS BURNS IN THE FIRES OF TARTARUS.

I don't care too much for HoO, but the original first series was gold.

Yeah, I appreciated the first series because I related to it.

Yeah, plus I don't know, the second seemed a bit forced?

person_off

Yeah, characters were just thrown at us like crazy XD

(And it wasn't too thought out. Percy seemed really ooc in certain areas and then there was all that happened in Tartarus that wasn't spoken of again.)

(A lot of things were just thrown under the rug!)

(I don't see how Annabeth just decided to leave CHB, like that was her home since she was a kid! In BoO Percy's treated like a joke and then in SoN the Achilles curse is lifted… AKA that really character-changing moment for him…. Just thrown away because he couldn't be stronger than the others.)

THANK YOU SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T TREAT PERCY LIKE A JOKE AND WORSHIP THE SECOND SERIES.

I remember when I decided to read PJO for the first time, I accidentally picked up The Lost Hero, and I was like, '…This isn't Percy…'

Lol yes when I first tried out Percy Jackson I picked The Lost Hero and I couldn't even finish the first chapter. I realized my mistake and got The Lightning Thief… Much better.

Yusssssss.

Now that I think about it, I'd would've rather had a Hunters of Artemis series following Thalia instead of HOO.

Yes! The Hunters are AWESOME, but while they do get mentioned a lot, they aren't explored too much.

And Thalia was awesome. Hands down probably my favorite character next to Percy.
