Blogger Girl *tries to maintain a composed composure* AHHHHH


message 1104: by [deleted user] (new)

Yeah people are hung up on the idea that love makes you happy so they think that you'll get a happy ending if you find a requited love (I'm not going to lie, I'm one of those people ..)


message 1105: by [deleted user] (new)

Hahaha wow thanks. I'm surprised you and Yubrine think it's pretty, I got teased a lot because of it xDD I've always wished for the day that a character will have my name. Make it happen! :D


message 1106: by Cherie (new) - rated it 5 stars

Cherie Everyone here has such pretty and unique names. Mine is Cherie (share-e) everyone calls me Cherry :(


message 1107: by [deleted user] (new)

Oh wow an I've been pronouncing your name Cherry all this time xD I think Cherie is actually a pretty cute name but I'll always pronounce it Cherry because cherry is cute too~ so now I'll always think of a cherry when you comment and Yubrine will always be a cat..


message 1108: by Cherie (new) - rated it 5 stars

Cherie Yeah people either pronounce in "cherry" or "sure-ee" ...I've given up on correcting people :p


message 1109: by [deleted user] (new)

Yeah, H99. You will always be a puppy with glasses. If you tell me your name I'll think of something different :) Unless you want to be a puppy with glasses..


message 1110: by Mary (new) - rated it 4 stars

Mary I find it very disappointing that one of my book boyfriends is gay ):


message 1111: by [deleted user] (new)

I hate when people pronounce my name Ava-lone. It's pronounced Ava-lon. The lon part is pronounced exactly like lawn. I don't know how they get lone..


message 1112: by [deleted user] (new)

GUYS!!! GUYS!!!!!! Calm down. Nico isn't gay, he just cares about Percy. The way the wind dude put it though... Don't freak out!


message 1113: by [deleted user] (new)

Lol okay then you will always be a puppy with glasses :) I think that's a good picture to stay with.


message 1114: by [deleted user] (new)

Um no I'm pretty sure Nico is gay, Grace. Yes, he does care about Percy too but his care for him is strong enough that it's a crush.


message 1115: by [deleted user] (new)

My pictures are always girls (anime style) with blond hair because I have blond hair. I don't like putting pictures of myself on the internet so I just do that.


message 1116: by [deleted user] (new)

Noo don't change yours, I like the puppy. And I always change my picture every several weeks, so it's not that much of an adjustment xDD

I agree to a certain note and I don't support gays either but goodness I would never abandon a series just because of it. It shocked me and made me very sad but I wouldn't go to extremes and say "Horrifying". I still love Nico's character, just like I would still love my friend if they decided to be gay.


Christina H. @Sophie, yeah I agree. I didn't like this book much either but I'm still going to finish the last book of the series even though the plot is getting predictable.
@Avalon, If that's your actual name, you're so lucky to have such a pretty and long name! My name is so boring and common.


message 1119: by [deleted user] (new)

Yeah it is my actual name. My parents have a thing for long unique names. You should see my siblings names, lol. And thanks. I like how everyone here thinks it's pretty :) You guys should see what people in my school say about my name -_- They pronounce my middle name, Seraphina, Serapenis -____-

Is it pronounced Mmm...Bu, but said very quickly?"


please...no. my last name is complicated. only my brothers have it too. my parents both have different last names. I know, really strange


message 1122: by [deleted user] (new)

Oh yeah then I suppose that will be much easier for you :)

message 1124: by [deleted user] (new)

You should change it to a panda, H99. I love pandas. And Yubrine, you should just see the way they twist my name to sound so wrong. And yup I'll be the only person with a name like that. I should take pride in it..


message 1125: by [deleted user] (new)

What I find funny besides Serapenis is that we completely went off topic. It wasn't the type of off topic where you just talk about controversial things because that kind of relates to the topic of homosexuality (since gay rights is controversial). It was the completely off topic OFF TOPIC type. We went from Nico's gayness to names. We sure are strange people xDD


message 1126: by [deleted user] (new)

By the way, my parents named me after elements I think. Avalon has something to do with water. Seraphina has something to do with fire. Chrysanthemum is a flower. Eliora has something to do with light. Levina has something to do with lightning. And Evergreen is a type of tree.


message 1127: by [deleted user] (new)

Tessalie was a name they made up using my father and mothers names combined.

It's sooo funny :D


message 1129: by [deleted user] (new)

I like being out of the ordinary but sometimes it causes pain to be different so I'm kind of wary of being "strange." But in general I'm a weird person, my tastes are unlike everyone else.


message 1130: by [deleted user] (new)

Oh my gosh yes my mother loves King Arthur.


message 1131: by Blogger (new) - rated it 5 stars

Blogger Girl um..uh..yeah?


message 1132: by [deleted user] (new)

Because my name, Avalon, probably comes from King Arthur. My mother loves King Arthur.

OMG!!! i just noticed that your profile picture is the dog. at first i didn't understand what you were saying there but now i get it. wow, i'm clueless. :( but the dog is cute. the glasses make it look vintage and smart ^_^


message 1135: by [deleted user] (new)

Oh King Arthur is a legend about King Arthur (my brothers name) and I know the part where he goes to an island called Avalon (my name). There's some kind of witch/sorceress woman named Morgan le Fay (also my sisters name) and he got his sword there I think. I know the sword is called Excalibur (also my brothers middle name). I don't know much my mother won't let me touch anything of hers that has to do with King Arthur xD

Only in Rick Riordan's world.


message 1137: by Fatima (new) - rated it 5 stars

Fatima Thanks Avalon! Yeah, I was hoping to go for the respectable opinion approach. sorry I got back to you so late, I just totally forgot about it until now. Yeah, I think I've accepted it by now, but I STILL haven't got the book, and I oredered it a month ago, plus I'm 2nd on the list for my library. I want to read it so badly, I found it at Costco and read it, but I was up to the *SPOILER ALERT* Leo chasing monkeys part. *SPOILERS OVER* I loved it, and can't wait to read it!


message 1138: by [deleted user] (new)

You're welcome Robyn :)
And no H99 I haven't read that story but maybe I'll check it out and I like how you used the word acquaintances xDD Nico would never consider them his friends

I think camp Ares might be a problem they are so filled with rage and angst.


message 1140: by [deleted user] (new)

Yeah the Ares cabin will definitely be a problem.


message 1141: by [deleted user] (new)

I just want the demigods in the quest to know, I don't really care about everyone else finding out.


message 1142: by Fatima (new) - rated it 5 stars

Fatima Well, at the moment, Clarisse is one of my favorte characters. even though she's a minor character, have you noticed she's been at least mentioned in all books except SoN? The point is, I hope she'll be mentioned during the battle. I'd like to see all the minors mentioned, in fact. :)


message 1143: by [deleted user] (new)

I like how Clarisse has a soft side. She can act really mean and rude but deep down she has a soft heart. That's one of the reasons why I like her. However, I'm really hoping that he'll bring Travis and Connor into the story, I really love those two.

Another thing that pissed me off with this book is when what's his name started to "defend" Nico after it was revealed that he has a "shine" towards Percy(still saying this was Rick trying to use an existing character's moods/personality and say they are gay, this would mean every moody/goth person is gay), this is so over used it gets me angry "person has a personal reveal, the former bully or self proclaimed boss starts to defend the person" cliche.

This whole book(at least near the ending) has so many personalities wrong or messed up. From all the books I read before Lord of The Winds would not have defended Nico. Mar's son after he found out? Leo after he found out? It matches their personality they joke around but when crap hits the fan they are there to help. Sir Wings? No does not match him.

What I think Rick was trying to do was have this "strong character" accept to show "if he can anyone can"

He messed up a bunch of people's Personality, also what was with the Gods showing up and giving their kids a pat on the back? "you've help stabilize my Godly Form".

Although it is usual near the ending of a story/series things get haywire because the Author is trying to fit as much as possible in. I think Rick is trying to tie everything together and is failing somewhat. It worked(to me at least) for the First Series, but now... maybe it's because I'm older? I'm seeing his faults? or maybe its because I read so many books that I am seeing similarities in them all and projecting?

Still gonna get the last book because I started the series and I will finish it.

Yep. They think of EVERYTHING.


message 1146: by Cherie (new) - rated it 5 stars

Cherie Yeah, it always bothered me how everything fits too perfectly together.. It started to seem like Riordan was just trying to shove as many myths together as he could. But I agree, I've really just been focusing on everything that I love about the series and I think the characterization is definitely my favorite part about it all.


Evangeline Jones It does not bother me that Nico is gay. He is still one of my favorite characters . I love how supportive Jason is about it.But I dont think he will have a relationship with Percy or anyone,but I think he will die for Percy or Annabeth.P.S. I hate Cupid!


message 1148: by Becky (new) - added it

Becky Didnt see this comeing...think it might just be an add in to open the series up to a wider audience. I dont think he meant him to be gay when he first created the charachter


message 1149: by [deleted user] (new)

^^ Very true. If it was a big brother admiration or something like that then why would Eros try to make Nico admit his "brotherly admiration?" Eros is only concerned with love. He wouldn't have approached Nico at all if it wasn't love that Nico felt for Percy.


message 1150: by [deleted user] (new)

Yeah you're definitely right, thanks for correcting me xD
