Brynn 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-

Foluso Bolaji love your books, oh, my god I can't get enough of them!!!


message 62: by Cassie (new)

Cassie 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. :)

Annabel damn right Riordan


message 71: by Nicole (new)

Nicole Wilkinson 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!


Famished For Fiction I like Nico, a lot....I love you uncle Rick.....


message 73: by Piper (new)

Piper 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.


message 74: by Carrie (new)

Carrie Great answer.


BAE (Books Are Everything) Who is the gay character? I remember reading this series but I don't remember one of the characters being gay?


message 76: by Jorge (new)

Jorge Martinez wasn't it nico di angelo


message 77: by Jorge (new)

Jorge Martinez nico and leo are my favorite characters


message 78: by Mark (new)

Mark Alexander 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.

message 83: by Alexis (new)

Alexis 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?


message 84: by Alexis (new)

Alexis Like Will and Nico's adventures that they intended in The tower of Nero.


message 85: by [deleted user] (new)

NICO IS AMAZING (:


message 86: by [deleted user] (new)

mr riordan i think a of people would like if you wrote a book about the old greek heros like theseus hercules achilles and the name that starts with oddy


message 87: by una 🪐 (new)

una 🪐 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. :)


message 88: by Wolf (new)

Wolf Lover I like that you include all types of people in your books.
