Starcrossed discussion

I was just thinking about how in Percy Jackson and the Olympians, the gods were GOOD. They were on the good side. But in Starcrossed, the Scions are against the gods. It's just so different ... which type of the gods do you like better?

Starcrossssed!
not that i have read PJO but still starcrossed, i like the twist.

I've also read the two and feel that the way the gods are portrayed in each are suited to the plot and characters etc of both books. Maybe that's just me? Either way, I love both series of books :)

Both books ARE amazing, I'd agree. xD I also agree that in both series the gods are definitely suitable to each story line and the characters. I don't know how authors manage to make everything fit into place!

Percy Jackson

I liked both... each series had it's own twist and turns that caught me siding with what they thought; whether the gods were evil or good. But the starcrossed series is definitely of of my Favs!! :)

CAN SOMEONE GO ON THE OTHER THREAD (WHICH IS MINE) AND TELL ME THE RIGHT THING. PLEASE

If you read a lot of Greek Mythology stuff the gods are usually at odds, and share really different viewpoints in different eras, etc.
(Because they've been around for so long that they've gone through a lot of changes with different heroes and had A LOT of different interactions with the mortal world)
Sooooooooo.....
Technically, either of the series (PJO or Starcrossed) are viable, it just comes down to the authors interpretation and vision for a plot.

I really love both series, but I think PJO is a little bit more developed. That being said, I've read so many PJO books, and only the one of Starcrossed (haven't gotten around to reading the others yet), but I'm super excited too! - are they good?!

But that's one of the best things about Greek Mythology is that there are so many stories that everyone can kind of take their own message away from it, and interpret and develop it in their own way
