It's really nice to see someone else reading Percy Jackson for the first time who's like older than the target audience. It always felt like I missed out on it as a child but I love it as a teenager lol❤️💃💃
Rick Riordan was a middle school teacher for years upon years and he said that oftentimes the actions of his young characters are based on real students he had when he was a teacher which is why his depiction of children/young people are so authentic
also many of the characters were based/named after real people in his class (honorary mention to his son for inspiring Percy) like nico,beckendorf,Miranda,etc
i'm so glad you loved this!!! the origin of percy jackson was from when rick riordan ran out of bedtime stories to tell his son haley. he made up percy jackson as a demigod with adhd, because his son also had it, to show him that it doesn't stop anyone from doing so many things!! it's quite sweet and wholesome
@@fictionalfates they also include more people of color such as a Cherokee and Chinese Canadian main character. A few Hispanic characters. Some lgbtqia people/ relationships. Also a Muslim character, asexual character, and a whole book that takes place during Ramadan. SO MUCH REPRESENTATION
I just randomly start thinking about Nico going into McDonald’s on his own to buy a happy meal, to give to spirits of the dead, and boy does it crack me up.
I have this tradition of re-reading percy jackson every year during the summer but I think I will start the great re-read a bit earlier this year because of this video. Joel, welcome to camp half-blood!
Maybe the characters feel like real children because Rick Riordan said that he based his characters off real kids in his classes (he used to be a teacher), so he knows kids.
Personally i immediately jump into the HOO series after PJO and that is no problems! But I just dont want you to miss out on The Kanes books either! I love those books and I feels like it tend to get ignore a lot by th overall fandom
@@mxphxsto8334 fr, i read them before pjo bc i couldn’t find the pjo books anywhere and the kane chronickes looked cool. i remember it being funnier than pjo because that was it’s purpose, but also being a lot more intense. idk gonna reread it soon
@@arandomxinyanmain4837 same, tkc was the first Riordan series I've read and i just finished a pjo reread, now I'm trying to get through the lost hero :)
I have adhd, long blonde hair, wear a bright orange shirt for work, am terrified of spiders, am known by all my friends for being "the smart one" basically hey, I'm Annabeth lmao
I feel so bad when you started reading the Titan’s Curse but at the same time I was filled with glee knowing exactly what happened to make you so shocked. (It DEVASTATED me as a kid 😭)
I started rereading the Heroes of Olympus series in my exams few weeks ago (I gratuated!!) because I needed comfort and now I'm at the book in which Nico joins the club and he is still a baby. I can tell you that.
I didn't grow up with these books, but I'm reading them now and I'm seventeen years old. Don't get why it says that it's for a very young audience, when I think most people would find it enjoyable.
Fun fact: I actually cried when Luke sacrificed himself and then he asked Annabeth if she loved him… my parents were concerned and confused. Honestly it’s one of my favorite scenes of the book.
Me, sitting here, watching Joel read the first book and talking about how Rick writes kids super well: RIGHT? He wrote the book for his son who has ADHD and dyslexia which is just so sweet Also catch me rereading this series rn 😅
i'm so excited over this video you have no idea :')) these books were my gateway to literature and i have read them 9 years ago and still love them so so much 🥺 so glad you decided to read it
I love that everyone who reads Percy Jackson eventually just adopts nico as their child (Also this is making me want to reread them because I love them so much and it’s been a while since I first read them)
My boyfriend begged me to read the books for years and nearly 4 years later I finally sat down and read them for the first time this year and oh my god what a masterpiece. The books were so good! Last Olympian was my fave with my fave character being Percy and Nico - I’ve began reading heroes of Olympus, on the first book. I’m so excited to read them!
I feel like Rick Riordan writes kids so well because he teaches (or at least taught, idk if he still does) middle schoolers. You get a good feel for what kids are like when you spend a significant amount of time with them.
I’M SO HAPPY YOU LOVED THE BOOKS!! a lot of the things u brought up made me very emotional :’) i’d personally recommend reading HOO before TKC but it doesn’t really matter! though nico shows up in HOO so if you want to see more of him… 😎
I love it whenever someone says they'd start reading Percy Jackson series. That series was such a huge comfort for me in my childhood so I hope other people also enjoy this story and find joy in it. And yes NICO INDEED IS THE BEST.
A) I was just thinking (literally this morning) how I never read these as a kid but want to as an adult and didn’t know if that would be a weird thing to do - this video is PERFECT for me B) HAPPY PRIDE MONTH FRIENDS ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Im way too late to this video but yeah, when you said the writing was easily accessible to everybody towards the end you were so right. I have difficulty with reading and even as a kid only reading childrens books, i had a way easier time understanding percy jackson compared to other ‘easy’ kids stuff. It just made more sense to me and flowed in a way other books didn’t. I’m grateful it was that way because it made me really accept myself and my situation while reading about percy’s struggles
BESTIE THIS IS THE ORDER YOU SHOULD READ THE SERIES: - Percy Jackson (obviously lol) - Heroes of Olympus - Trials of Apollo - Magnus Chase - Kane Chronicles also FYI Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus and Trials of Apollo are what we call the 'Camp Half-Blood Chronicles' because they're all (mostly) Greek mythology hope this helped bestie :)
27:01 I had actually gotten a hunter of artemis first but then i took it multiple times again and i got apollo! And... *Welcome to our amazhang fandom* Also *Dam*
I clicked the moment I saw “Nico di Angelo” in the thumbnail >v< I really love the character and felt quite sad that he didn’t have as much room to show up as I wished
I am so excited to see how you react to the heroes of the olympus series, considering that it has much more representation and diversity in it's characters! Loved this video, it made me want to re-read the entire series again, so fun to see you react so positive to the books!
At some point I remember watching him read the part where annabeth fell off the cliff in titans curse and I was like "wait till you read mark of athena"
i stan Nico Di Anglo so much to the point that there is no fanfics that i didn't seek for Nico!!!!!!!! i read them all and i think Rick Riordan may write an individual series for Nico and Will
This entire video is so wholesome, I myself am in the middle of re-reading all the PJO books at the ripe old age of 26, I just wanted some of that childhood and adolescent nostalgia back. I really do think the reason why Rick Riordan's kid characters feel so authentic is because The Lightning Thief was a bedtime story for his own son who also has ADHD. It's so sweet, every time he tells that story I can tell how close to his heart the first series is.
I am so glad you enjoyed this series! Nico is amazing and we definetly stan Sally. Also, Apollo with Tik Tok...yes. Just yes! I can definetly see you as a child of Apollo. Welcome to fandom!😁
this brought me back to memories when I've read this series and got angry by cliffhangers, soft for nico, amazed by all the amazing power developments they've had.. btw, I'm claiming the Hypnos Cabin!!!
i read this book for the first time in 3rd grade. im now a sophomore and reread the series at least once a month. words can't describe how much this series means to me so i'm so happy you loved it! i think you would love the rest of his works, he has some amazing books
I am just now seeing your videos after watching the first two episodes of the PJ series and wanting more content of the series again. I just gotta say that I love your book diary kind of videos, they bring me so much joy and relaxation. It's like a friend is just telling me about their latest book :)
the new rick book is out now and the uk cover is so nice. i finished it in one day it was very cool to read something that that isn’t part of the riordanverse
This was so fuuuun! I'm so glad you loved this series! I feel the same way and I'm actually rereading them right now as well, so this came at the perfect time!
OMG KING I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEOOO! Also, happy pride, from a fellow bisexual person! Percy Jackson is honestly, my comfort book series. I love you so much, please keep up the great work, you are such a major source of comfort to me.
@@fictionalfates I'm excited to read them too! This summer I'd like to get through the Heroes of Olympus and the Magnus Chase series, but at this point my TBR is so outta control idk when I'd get to all the books.
OMAYGHOODD I JUST FINISHED READING THE WHOLE SERIES AND WENT TO UA-cam AND YOUR VIDEO POPPED UP!!!! YYAASSSSS ! THIS MUST BE PART OF OUR PROPHECY!!!!!!
I would definitely recommend reading Kane Chronicles next, a lot of people tend to leave it behind and I know you'd get to it anyway but I feel like it's best to read between Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus idk. There's also a cute trilogy of short series where annabeth and percy meet the kiddos from Kane Chronicles and it comes after the kane books, I definitely recommend that too!!
i don’t know if you like musicals, but there’s one for the lightning thief that’s pretty good and definitely better than the movie! i would recommend giving it a listen because it’s a lot of fun and it’s obvious everyone who worked on it was just having a good time
"Nico Di Angelo supremacy, and he is now my child." OMG LOLLLL Yes Neeks is just....perfection. And also my half brother UwU *me being a hades kid just loving this* HOW HAVE I ONLY JUST SEEN THIS THOUGH-?! OMG-~SALLY JACKSON~ BUT THE CROSSOVERS THAT COME IN LATER ON. ALSO-as a half blood who's been a fan of these books for a while and as a child of the ~big three~ I'd like to welcome you to camp half blood where we climb lava walls for fun! :))) It's great. Pfft. Hope you don't get too stuck in the books though cuz once you do there's no going back,
Me watching your face in the reading clips : Oh he’s at that part . Also great video . I love your vlogs they feel so homey . Like I should be chilling and reading right alone with you .
@@fictionalfates I feel that way about your vibe in general . Like we should be friends and hang out . Reading and exploring towns and drinking copious amounts of matcha ( I have no clue how to make it ) and stuff .
I’ve had a big journey when it comes to Percy Jackson. I started it five months ago and finished today on the first day of 2023 lol. One of my motivations was your video because I wanted to watch all of your video but I couldn’t because I didn’t finish the books so I just wanna say thank you!
the american hardcover percy jackson designs that came before that paperback release are my personal favorites over any others and it's actually a personal goal of mine to own them all
Don't mind me just a child of Iris offering a comment the god of Algorithms and also immediately subscribing after just seeing this video because I need more Riordanverse content and I loved the way you set up this video with your reactions during the reading and than a spoiler-free overview of each book * chef's kiss *. Also, since Artemis doesn't have children (only Hunters, because she's a maiden) I believe you can be a child of Apollo.
OMG!! You should totally read the Skulduggery Pleasant series by Derek Landy. They've got people of colour, includes lgbtq+, amazing representation, includes sadness, emotion, triumph and power! There is an amazing bonding and some badass woman!

Me watching your face in the reading clips : Oh he’s at that part . Also great video . I love your vlogs they feel so homey . Like I should be chilling and reading right alone with you .
sdljfkhdfljkf i'm so glad you could tell which moments i was reading LOL and i'm so happy you get that feel from my vlogs 🥺
@@fictionalfates I feel that way about your vibe in general . Like we should be friends and hang out . Reading and exploring towns and drinking copious amounts of matcha ( I have no clue how to make it ) and stuff .
Stuff like movies and video games .
this video is so great and also i was caught SO OFF GUARD when i saw zhou zishu
Watching your vlogs always makes me want to read, it genuinely makes me excited to read. LOVE
thank you! 🥺
im so glad you love the books too! pjo is always the books i reread to get out of a reading slump ever since i was twelve
I only recently discovered the Percy Jackson books as well and I've become such a huge fan! Great to see you enjoyed them too! =)
omg honestly i love this for us!
I’ve had a big journey when it comes to Percy Jackson. I started it five months ago and finished today on the first day of 2023 lol. One of my motivations was your video because I wanted to watch all of your video but I couldn’t because I didn’t finish the books so I just wanna say thank you!
yes! I've been waiting for this!
ahhh i hope you enjoyed!
the american hardcover percy jackson designs that came before that paperback release are my personal favorites over any others and it's actually a personal goal of mine to own them all
Don't mind me just a child of Iris offering a comment the god of Algorithms and also immediately subscribing after just seeing this video because I need more Riordanverse content and I loved the way you set up this video with your reactions during the reading and than a spoiler-free overview of each book * chef's kiss *.
Also, since Artemis doesn't have children (only Hunters, because she's a maiden) I believe you can be a child of Apollo.
OMG!! You should totally read the Skulduggery Pleasant series by Derek Landy. They've got people of colour, includes lgbtq+, amazing representation, includes sadness, emotion, triumph and power! There is an amazing bonding and some badass woman!
i will be adding it to my list 👀
