So he said the changes are not going to affect the ending… so why change it to “the solstice deadline already passed” if Zeus is just going to accept the bolt anyhow ? At the end of the day Rick is still a man so we honestly can’t put our hopes on him 😐

[eewtp]

Yep! My sister was also watching it with me and she has never touched the books; let me just say that the show left her confused and ultimately uninterested

Not a PJO Show Review*

Now I was so excited for a truthful adaptation of the books and I am left just disappointed with every new episode that comes out. First of all, why was this fourth episode not even 30 minutes long? ?

Anyway, one of my main issues so far includes pacing of the story. It’s very much stuck in a “rushed but at the same time slow” moving kind of pace, which is insanely weird. In one episode they spend all their time in one place but the writing tries to cram so much detail into that episode that everything rushes by with dialogue instead of action. It’s so weird I can’t even describe it well, but the point is that there is entirely too much of the characters walking you across the street with dialogue only readers could actually follow/understand.

(For example; Zeus is pissed that the bolt is missing and wants it back by the summer solstice or else he’ll start a war. The solstice is in a few days. This is mentioned once/twice and nobody has shown even an ounce of urgency to find the bolt. It’s just expected of you to remember that fact while the show does nothing to remind you of it- the sun is always out and it’s not stormy to show just how mad Zeus is, the characters calmly walk and chat and never once mention the bolt again, etc.)

The exposition dumping does not help at all; a sentence or two to describe something important only for the talking to drag on with the expectation that you know what they’re talking about. Grover absolutely running through what CHB is all about, the entire point of the kids’ quest, Annabeth being the daughter of wisdom (so far there has not been one instance where this is proven, just mentioned offhandedly). There’s hardly any personality attached to any one character because all they do is rapidly explain things.

Now, exactly why are they going to the Underworld? To save Sally, yes; but what does that have to do with the bolt? At this point their mission is Sally, not the quest- the Hellhound chase scene was cut from the show, so now there is no indication at all that Hades might have had something to do with the missing bolt. Poseidon and Zeus are pointing fingers at each other (which was either not mention or I missed it because of how off handed this detail was), so why in the world would Hades play a part in this? Because these three hate each other? Again, only readers would be inclined to think like this because their hatred was never emphasized or expanded upon.

(Are they hoping to just ask and receive some kind of news about the bolt? They have no lead as to where the bolt may be, so going to Sally’s aid first and then figuring out details with the bolt is so questionable. Again, this is far from showing the urgency of the situation)

Also, Luke’s betrayal is going to be interesting. He’s the one who let the Hellhound in, which put the entirety of camp in danger for his own goals. Without this, he’s just some guy who doesn’t agree with the situation they’re currently in- he’s not dangerous or evil, so far he’s just there.

Friendships are just not there. They say Luke and Annabeth are like family but they’ve spoken once. They say Luke and Percy are tentative friends but all they did was have a tour around camp. They say Percy and Grover are best friends but their conversations mainly revolve around dumping exposition.

There’s more I have to say but I’ll just say I have hope the show will make up for this iffy start. It’s not too much, but it’s there-ish.

We were robbed so hardd not even an “oo he’s attractive”

I literally can’t wait for Will’s pov because finally we’re getting a view of Nico that isn’t “he’s creepy” “he’s weird” or “i don’t like him very much”

Hate to say it but Rick *hates* the PJO Movies so there’s no way the Lotus Hotel/Casino scene will be blasting Poker Face

[eewtp]

Chalice of the Gods, Wrath of the Triple Goddess…

Nico and Will I’m sorry you two go stuck with the title that you ended up with

[eewtp]

For as much as Rick FORCES a Percy cameo in every book he’s not in the center of attention, I’m sad that there was not a single mention of Nico in Chalice of the Gods

I’m doing it expect something soon

Not a TSATS Review*

Ever since reading TSATS I’ve been… disappointed 😞 I can’t hide it anymore; that entire book felt like a fanfiction that barely made it out of Wattpad

If I stumbled across this fanfic on AO3, I’d most likely drop it after a few chapter

I have no one but myself to blame. With the way I portray Nico, he’s actually effected deeply by everything that’s happened to him. The book took none of his baggage seriously and it disappointed me greatly. I understand this is a children’s book and it’s a perfect read for the little ones, but… I’m going to redo it because Nico deserves a book that’s serious about his trauma.

I’m tempted to rewrite the book because it was not to my expectations but that’s a big task so I have no idea how/when I’ll do it, but I’ll do it eventually for everyone that feels the same way!

These are my credentials-

*Especially this one*

I cannot wait to see little Nico and little Bianca in the tv show
