Pardon my English as it is my second language
I’m 25y and I finished Percy Jackson for the first time! I’m so happy and I want to share my experience with someone!
As someone who doesn’t know much about Greek mythology, my knowledge is very limited(I know about Zeus and his problem keeping his pants. Athena, Medusa and Hades)
I Honestly thought Percy’s father is Zeus because of the book cover and even with all the hints the story give me, I was damn surprised and confused because I don’t know who is Poseidon (I’m glad the story helps me in that part).
How did I get into Percy Jackson?
A few months ago, out of nowhere, I kept seeing TikTok and reels about Percy Jackson. Videos like “Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, etc must-read books” and “Men written by women are best… but Percy Jackson is exceptional” that’s made me “You know what, I should try it out” and it was the best decision I ever made.
Which one is my favorite book out of 5?
Definitely the first book, it’s like a new world for me! I like the mystery and adventure.
Who are my favorite characters?
Clarisse, Surprisingly, I know she didn’t appear much in Percy Jackson but I like her relationship with Silena and Chris. I like characters with attitude.
Percy, by default, He’s like Lovable, he’s the sweetest boy ever and I really love his characters. He’s my baby, I saw him growing.
Nico, love his vibes.
Rachel Elizabeth Dare, honestly, I liked her from the moment she met Percy for the first time. It was a short moment but she has stuck in my mind ever since. She is lovable and so mysterious, can’t help myself wanting to know more about her.
Hades, like his attitude.
My least favorite character?
Annabeth, I’m surprised that I Didn’t like her as much as I thought I would. Maybe, I found her annoying when it’s come about Luke and her pride problem thingy, like in that part when answering the puzzles and it was too easy and she’s like mad and her pride won’t let her(like gurrlllll it’s life and death situation who care!!!!! just answer damn questions!). Other than that, she’s decent and I like her relationship with Percy. They are adorable.
Most gods and goddesses like Zeus, Athena, and Hera I don’t like them the most.
In conclusion,
I love the Percy Jackson series so much and it’s got me back into reading again(I stopped reading for years for lack of interest and the stress of work). I bought The Heroes of Olympus series and I can’t wait to read them!
