Today let’s talk about HoO (Heroes of Olympus).  So far we have 3 out of the 5 books.  And I have to say, that when I first read the third person PoV (Point of View) I wasn’t sure how I felt about it. I don’t know about y’all, but I was really uncertain about not getting to read from Percy’s first person PoV.  But I as the books went on I fell in love with the third person PoV.  I love getting to read about Piper and Annabeth and all the others describe Percy.  (And read from the other third person PoV.)

  You realize while reading that Percy was really down on himself.  I mean Piper herself described him as a god.  Think about it would Percy ever describe himself as a god?  No.  He wouldn’t.  Percy thinks that he is corny and lucky just to have Annabeth as his girlfriend.  But in reality he looks like a god.

   I also have been kind shocked reading HoO.  And what I mean by that is…  Well, everyone (Percy and Annabeth, but really Percy A LOT) seems so much older.  Think about it.  Percy didn’t make himself seem old.   That just not how he pictured himself.  Go back to The Last Olympian.   Percy was 16 then, but if you really think about it; he did make himself out to be 16.  You knew he was 16, but you just didn’t get that felling a lot.   Now, we have Annabeth and everyone else describing Percy he seems like he is his age (almost 17)… Or even older…   I think to the fans it is just a shock.

    All that has been on my mind for a while and I wanted to talk about it with some other fans ever since MoA.  If you understand this please comment.
