Okay, Devryck - woah, morally grey and muscular (clearly strong if he can carry homeless men) also a bit deranged. I’m on board, just like Lila on her way to Dracadia FINALLY.
I’m just wondering if Devryck is the dude from the start of the book and is some kind of immortal or vampire, given the uni literally has Drac in it, as in Dracula???

Fascinating but more challenging than I expected.

Yay she’s going to Dracadia, fuck you Angelo you perverted wank stain. Now who tf is Devryck?

Good, language is a bit old timey but a fascinating read, especially for my first acting book and non fiction!

Finally she now has some trajectory towards going to Dracadia but has every excuse under the sun. The idea of Angelo moving in should’ve been reason enough for her to drop the bomb on Connor and just go. Hopefully knowing about the worms convinces her because I’m starting to get annoyed.

Fascinating backstory so far, keen to get into the substance of the book.

Percy really said “I don’t know anything else about myself but that I love Annabeth and HATE Ares in all his forms”. Loving getting to revisit these stories and relearn the plots (as my brain completely wiped itself after 10yrs). Just wish I could picture camp Jupiter better, also crazy concept that Roman demigods live complete lives and Greeks are just teens at CHB. Can Percy hurry and find Annabeth already?

Some more things I completely forgot about: Percy getting the curse of Achilles!?! then pummelling Hades army and Hades retreating in cowardice. May Castellan, Percy’s visit to Poseidon’s realm and meeting his brother Triton, and now the Battle of Manhattan (which they’re in the midst of). Percy’s just about to defeat the Minotaur obviously, I just hope he and Annabeth don’t somehow fall into Tartarus…

I think im gonna like this one.

Straight into it and wtf is Percy doing still hung up on Calypso and now putting all his energy into Rachel. Get a grip man. Also his immediate thought wit any adventure being “if I survive” is not a good frame of mind, almost like he’s trying to manifest death but then he contradicts this by acting like he’s invincible - wtf.

I took a major hiatus for what felt like a month but I’m back to reading this immersively and it’s so goooood! The reunion of Nico with Bianca’s soul, the hundred handed one, sphynx and now Hephaestus! Also ICARUS being Daedalus’ son!? Insane lore in this book, tysm Rick x

So a couple major moments have occurred: first Aphrodite interaction, the junkyard - Bianca that one hurt, and our first Rachel Elizabeth Dare encounter in the Hoover Dam turbine room. Also the introduction of dam jokes was a welcomed funny. As I start chapter 15 our 4 hero’s are being flown by Zeus’ giant gold guardian statues and we still don’t know if Annabeth and Artemis are okay.

Okay completely forgot about pretty much all of the giant wild boar thing, the little town, Grover getting the scent of pan and Bianca killing the skeleton soldier (which makes SO MUCH SENSE) but we’re at the graveyard and I know what’s coming. I love the way Ricks brain works with the little revaluations about the Di Angelos and how Hades really is the only one who stuck to his word (if Hazel doesn’t count?)

I love blackjack 🪽
Dionysus using his powers!!!!
Atlas, sorry - the General and Luke working together making baby kittens out of “sabre tooth tiger teeth” and Percy accidentally making things worse by becoming the scent for the zombie army as he tried to get the huntress clothing - typical.
I have a crush on Apollo and am scared for the Junkyard. Also Zoë is growing on me.

Couple things:
- Luke SUCKS, fuck that guy. I couldn’t remember how Annabeth ended up carrying the world and thought Atlas tricked her but of course it was Luke, loser.
- innocent, sweet, not messed up Nico is too cute
- I kinda hate but also wanna be a Hunter for Artemis
- I just finished the season 2 finale and am so keen for the 3rd season (it comes out in 2026!) also cried at least twice

I love this series

Straight into meeting Nico and Bianca is the perfect way to start this book! Not to mention Artemis and her group of hunters AND Apollo! God I hope they have all of this in the show next season because it’s so good! Thalia having a crush on Apollo is so real as I’m picturing a young Sam Claflin. I’m scared for Annabeth and feel like she’s ended up with Atlas somehow but I know things will work out.

Such a good start to book 2, the actual dodgeball at school with the giants, the grey sisters taxi ride (which should look like it’s made of smoke and should be grey) and then Hephaestus’ bulls attacking camp. So good but I understand the tv series decision to alter the series of events and remove the bull attack. It makes sense. Tantalus is an asshole though, screw that guy.

For a group of people who just smoke together in a church graveyard, they’re very good at this investigation and simultaneous coordination thing. Also definitely didn’t like Hannah to start off but now I like her after her lil interrogation with loser graveyard scientist who (as I guessed) had his experiment go wrong which is what has been causing the hostile incidents. Kinda scared for Hannah now though.

Captivating and fast paced. Forgot how I love M.L Rio’s writing. Definitely love the group dynamic as much as she does and am hooked on what’s happening. Empty grave now filled with mutant rats and people losing their mind in a similar fashion to the rats? seems suspiciously related and almost like an experiment gone wrong. Also does Edie have cancer!? So much to unpack but I’m intrigued. Might finish it today

Hooked and fascinated how the narrative voice is so different from Katniss or Haymitch. As I’ve already watched the movie it’s easier to imagine the scenes but more enjoyable to have the additional insight into Coriolaus’ character.

I’m completely hooked but also petrified for the outcomes of each character.
I feel as though Garraty isn’t going to win and am dreading the inevitable deaths of the characters I’ve already grown to love.
First Stephen King / Richard Bachman book and I get the hype.

The lack of insight into Sins thought process and the anticipation of what’s going to happen to Elli is eating at me. Also the lack of communication is exhausting, literally just explain shit to eachother already.

I did not sign up for a horror so can we get the suspense and scariness out of the way please?
I’m literally so nervous for the reveal of where Sylvester is and the poor person in chains.
Also why can’t they talk, why bang and scratch at their door instead of yelling for help or talking to them?!?

Now that things are heating up we’re getting somewhere but this read is taking significantly longer than expected. Sylvester (old man) is creepy and possessive but Enzo is overwhelmingly aggressive. I hate the old man stuff, he’s really killing the vibe but then add the prisoner (not ghost, actual prisoner) and I’m particularly uncomfy. Feels like I’m reading a horror with spice, don’t know how to feel yet

Love the Addie & Zade references, also how despite the morally grey aspect (which we love ofc) that Cage is kinda a gentleman.
Can’t wait to find out more about Mollys escape, what happened to Layla and the first time Molly & Cage met.
Only 50 pages and I’m already hooked!

a lot more intense and dark than the first, I just can’t wait for Claire to die.

I’m scared as to what awaits her but eager to see from his perspective again. I just want to understand his insight on the situation.

The death of Tarik was immensely satisfying and the reveal of Raeve being able to hear the song of the wind goddess was honestly surprising. The more world building & reading I do, the more I want to read. I can’t wait to see what comes of the cloaked figure and how the book progresses. Once I figure out how to stay awake to keep reading when my eyes won’t stay open, I’ll be unstoppable.
