Hi
I have a question. I recently saw a videoon wonder womans sword, and it said that according to some story dialouge, it is the sharpest blade in the world. Beacuse of this, it should be able to trail lightning. If Jack is the sharpest blade in the 9 worlds, then how come he can't trail lightning? The video-

That makes sense. Even though the "gender revolution" is not something I support, I like how the additions to the Percy Jackson series and the Magnus Chase series add to the diversity within the story. :)
@Rick Riordan I love the Percy Jackson/Heros of Olympus series so much! I just want you to know im being Annabeth for Halloween :D
" people shouldn't be rejected or treated differently just because of what they are. " ? ! I have a lot of sex abusers and terrorists to apologize to !
Nico was always my favorite ever since you introduced him. I'd love if he even got his own series because he's just so fascinating as a character!
I love all of your books! Especially your Greek god books, you have made a huge impact on my life. Even though I'm only 11, I wish to be a great author like you some day.
Who is the gay character? I remember reading this series but I don't remember one of the characters being gay?
I, for one, love that fact that there is a character who just happens to be gay. It's not a massive deal, they aren't a stereotype, they are just a regular person (well, so far as any character in the series are normal people lol) who happens to be gay. That just the way it should be.
What do you plan on writing about this time? Will you ever bring back any of your old character? Like a super cool thing where every villain from multiple series-es at the same work together to over through the world?
I wrote very annoyed reviews about some of your earlier god/demigod books because the heteronormativity was grating on my soul, and now that I've read this as well as the section on your website about Nico in The House of Hades (I haven't read any of your books other than the main Percy Jackson series) it just warmed my heart. Him being gay makes a lot of sense with his characterization in the Percy Jackson series and I love when authors include diverse sexual orientations in a way that feels natural instead of in an *insert gay person here* sort of way. So thank you for making my day a little better. :)
i respect you uncle rick. people disrespect lgbtq community and make them uncomfortable. you did the right thing. you are my role model for writing stories
