    first of all BIG apologies this took so long to post!! besides life becoming chaotic this year, I was also admittedly procrastinating on editing these vlogs because I hate looking at my face and listening to my voice for so long 😂😭 (and I definitely filmed way too much of me reading so I had a lot of footage to get though hahaha) but thank you for being so patient and kind, and still wanting to watch! I promise I’ll get the fifth book vlog out quicker. And to everyone asking yes I did start heroes of olympus! I had to force myself to stop very early in the book because I wanted to wait until I have the proper time to vlog my reactions like I did for the first five books. But the little bit I did read I already LOVED. Once I finish editing the next book vlog I’m gonna get back into reading HOO, and I’m so excited!!!

    17:38 You said it so well. Other MCs don't have a parental figure growing up in order to harden them as characters and to show their supposed strength in the face of adversities.
    But Percy having a good parent in his life shaped him so much as the hero that he is. He still struggled because of his ADHD and Dyslexia and he grew up in an abusive home with his stepdad. But his mom also raised him to be kind and loyal to those he loves and not see the world just as it is.
    The TV show also adds the whole, "Not everyone who looks like a hero is a hero and not everyone who looks like a monster is a monster."
    TV Annabeth also said, "Maybe she was preparing you so when you got to us, you'd be different than this."
    I doubt Percy would be a hero if it weren't for Sally and that's why she's a Queen among women.

Aren't you coming?" And Gandalf is just like, "No. The point of this process was for you to grow enough to take care of it yourselves, and you certainly have."

    What I appreciate about the PJ universe is that every character is just amazing. I mean, usually in a story about teenagers being heroes, the teenagers are well-thought-out, versatile characters (or they should be) but the adults usually suck, because you can’t have teenaged heroes with healthy families apparently. But in PJ, even the adults are really cool (Paul Blofis, Annabeth’s dad, saint Sally mom-of-the-year) and the antagonists aren’t evil for evils sake but they have believable reasons for their actions and they kind of make sense in their twisted perception.
    TLDR: just a universe including multi-faceted people in every age and alignment peer group. 👌
    Edit: okay, so you talk about that as well. Glad we agree :)

    Percy's family try is wild. His Dad is Poseidon. Poseidon's brother is Zeus. Zeus is Annabeth's grandfather. That makes Percy and Annabeth first cousins, once removed. That also means that Percy and Athena are first cousins, and Percy's child would be second cousins with Annabeth, unless the child's mother is Annabeth. Imagine your own mother also technically being your second cousin.

    With Nico, Annabeth, and Rachel, not knowing ALL 3, (Plot twist), had a crush on him.

    it's so fun listening to the reactions of someone who isn't already big into Greek mythology, I read the books when I was like 12-13 and I was already a Greek mythology nerd at that time so I knew what to expect out of the gods and kind of knew vaguely what to expect out of each book since for most of them Percy follows the path of a specific famous Greek mythology hero. I also really like how the books don't leave good and evil as black and white, it fits with how the gods are in the myths. The entire intrigue of Greek mythology for me is how flawed the gods are even though they're supposed to be dieties

Of course your should get through HOO first but the Kane chronicles is also one of my favorites and should get some more attention. Love ur vids btw ❤

    My love for PJO series was reawakened after I kept seeing your shorts. I read chalice of the gods few days ago then binged the whole trials of apollo series after finishing (I accidentally skipped book 4 cuz I mistook book 5 as the 4th 😂 oh well). Rick has a greek gods and heroes mytho book with percy narrating it, it’s fun if you want a clearer picture of greek myth!

    One of the strangest and last stories of Greek myth, related by Pseudo-Plutarch, is also extremely short. The whole thing reads: “Thamus, are you there? When you reach Palodes, take care to proclaim that the great god Pan is dead.” Thamus was just some guy, not a significant figure. Anyway, this video reminded me of that story

      I completely agree, and I don’t think that’s a bad thing. I think the mark of a great writer is when every book is better than the last. That’s why my favorite of the main three series (PJO, HoO, and ToA) is Trials of Apollo, and I don’t feel like I’m slighting the other series by saying that.

    god i love this series and watching mikaila read this series. also yeah Rachel Elizabeth Dare was only remembered by child me because shes a redhead character who's initials spelt "RED" cant wait to see the luke copium with the final book. (side note, of all the gods, i think Dionysus is my favorite--at least from the original series. the reason he pretends not to care about the kids is because hes the only god who *does* claim all of his kids which total to only 2 kids. he DOES know all of their names, he DOES care, he just cant handle the continued loss of each of them since almost all never live to see adulthood. hence him always calling kids by the wrong name or seemingly-disrespectful nicknames).
