The Lost Hero!
I looooove these books. =D
→ I adore Piper. I adore Leo. Jason... exists. Their dynamics as a group work well though (as in, not just in-universe; they're entertaining to read about) and all of them get their point of view shown, so Jason being pretty much a blank slate doesn't really bother me. It was a good choice not to make him the single protagonist the way Percy was, IMO.
→ This is going to sound pretty similar to what I say about Korra and A:tLA, but it's true: I love that even if the style/tone is the same as in the Percy Jackson books, both the plot and the characters are very different. That really works here, too. It's not a constant "oh but __________ was better" feeling AND it doesn't ruin what the characters from the earlier books achieved.
→ ... that said, I loved that we got to see Thalia, Annabeth and Rachel. Because they're awesome.
→ DRAAAAAAAAAGOOOOOOOOOOOON. ♥ So of course he had to die. Of course. But I love the whole thing with ship and Leo's attitude about the whole thing and I just love Leo a lot okay. *adopts*
→ And in keeping with the theme, I love that Piper got the courage to talk early on, and I love that the boys understood it, and I love that she decided that she didn't have to choose between her dad and her friends.
→ ALSO ALSO the way those two ended up as cabin leaders? PERFECT. She stood up for herself and he was accepted and akldjfakfjaslfjkl this books are so clever and stuff makes sense from a character development point of view apart from rule of cool and stuff. LOVE. LOVE FOREVER.
→ ... I had more to say but I can't remember XD POKE ME IN THE COMMENTS.

- Leo y lo de su método de usar bromas como coping mechanism me recordaba a Harry
- EL COMENTARIO DE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE DON'T LIE. FFFFFFFFFFFF. (Escucho a toda la White Court sneering at that)
- TENGO QUE DIBUJAR a los chicos escapando en Festus de la explosión de ~Medea's~ y luego a Murph yendo a ver a Harry toda "well? 8|" y Harry todo "WASN'T ME DB" porque dude, es tan appropiate x'DDDD
- Also los chicos crash landing en un White Court mannor just 'cause XD
.. eso XDDD

Es que lo de las bromas como coping mechanism lo relaciono antes con Chandler que con Harry, trufax.

es firebenderno cuenta como "badass normal" en su snowflakeza de poderes. Él ES muy poderoso y peligroso desde siempre al punto que se da miedo a sí mismo. Que sí, que los dos son graciosos y creativos y dibujaron planos de vehículos con crayola, pero a Sokka le corta ser normal mientras que a Leo le corta ser super diferente.no subject
Lo decía más por lo de "soy el comic relief, don't mind me" pero en realidad los dos se muestran así por razones bien opuestas.
no subject
Y es bueno cuando los sidekicks comedy relief sacan cosas que no esperas del arquetipo y están conscientes que no tienen que ser Awesome Action Man. Especialmente cuando es una secuela y no se parecen en mucho al equivalente de la serie anterior (hey Bolin)
