Welp
associate me!
I'm taking a break from spoiler mongering Okamiden. Yeah. I'll spoiler monger The Lost Hero instead! Well, not all of it, I just want to know who the new kids' parents are so I skimmed through a PJO wiki. I had my suspicions after pondering a lot about it and rereading the two online chapters. By the way, I turned out to be OH LOL SO RIGHT.
From his ridiculous Gary Stu powers, Jason was the only painfully obvious one. With a resistence (LOL) to electricity and control over winds, he had to be Zeus'. I was right... except he's JUPITER'S.
GUYS, WHY IS THERE A ROMAN CAMP HALF-BLOOD? IT'S ALMOST THE SAME SHIT. HELL, THEY EVEN SAY THEY'RE THE SAME GUYS BUT IN A MORE WARLIKE SRS BSNS MODE. THAT MAKES NO SENSE.
But enough about Jason, because he's still dull. And generic white boy protagonist. Meh, blank slate heroes are only good on video games, not books.
Piper was the hard one. I had read before the book came out that her dad is a movie star, therefore it's true her mom is the goddess. So I pondered about the main Olympian goddesses (assuming she wasn't a minor deity). Hera doesn't have demigod kids. Artemis and Hestia are virgins. So we have Athena, Aphrodite, and Demeter left. She seemed average in intelligence, so Athena was out. She didn't particularly screamed one of the other left, but I was leaning to Dite more since she's pretty and her dad was famous.
She IS Aphrodite's in the end. Phear mah logicz.
Now Leo, my favorite of the three. I had said that his powers were a neon sign to Hephaestus but in personality and looks he sounded totally Hermes. Both options were pretty cool to me, although I liked the idea of Hermes better to make justice to Luke's plot. Plus, my bias: I wanted a cool Hermes kid who wasn't an antagonist or a Weasley twin wannabe. But yeah, both options were very likely and I never doubted it was one or the other.
Guess what, he's Hephaestus'! But I do like the idea very much too, so I'm not that disappointed. I do maintain that he has a trickster air (that he has a gift with fire makes it sillier). And I think I'm still reading this book in the near future because I want to know him better.
That's it. Don't spoil me further about the book, I just wanted to know those three things and now I do.
