The Lightning Thief
question
What happens if Percy Jackson was in Luke's point of view?

Just what if? I don't know if the story would be better, more action packed or not. You have to know what was going on with Luke.

It would be really different, but I'm sure it would still be awesome!: )
Luke is one of my favorite characters. I've been hoping for him to come in House of Hades (I'm reading it right now...let's see). It'll be REALLY enjoyable (his POV). To be honest, we didn't really get enough of Luke.
A book from Luke's point of view could be so luscious and complex. It seems like it could be one of those lovely little (or big, I don't judge) books that I would just sink my teeth into and never let it go. The more tortured/twisted/confused the character, the more interesting the story tends to be.

5/14/17: I think that if it was told in Luke's point of view, we would understand so much more of who he was as a person, we would understand why he made the choices he did. The Demigod Diaries story from his viewpoint was really eye-opening, and has me wondering/hoping that Mr. Riordan will do a series like that (perhaps similar to Ms. Roth's version of Divergent from Four's point of view). In any case, it would make an awesome fanfiction...

If it were from Luke's perspective, I think there would possibly be less sugarcoating of the morally questionable behavior of the Greek gods. Although the regular books address these things somewhat, they're often brushed off pretty quickly in favor of focusing on the main quest. In this sense the book would be a lot more philosophically heavy and possibly less interesting to younger children, but significantly more interesting to older people who are concerned with discussing the nature of divinity.
In a way, even though Luke would obviously still be the villain and his actions in the wrong, such a book would be kind of vindicating. The Greek gods so rarely get called out on their shitty behavior in any meaningful way, it would be nice to see someone finally put their foot down and take them to task, even if that person is evil in their own right. It'd kind of be like "Paradise Lost," where the villain is actually making so many damn good points about the flaws of the heroes that you almost wonder who the true heroes and villains even are.
I think we are getting this aspect with Trials of Apollo though. Apollo already in the first book, despite his narcissism, is catching on to his hypocritical and heartless nature as a deity and even calling out his own family for their own flaws. I'm eager to see where this will go.

I think it would give a lot of insight into Luke's character as well as his thoughts. We know how he felt towards Hermes and the other Olympians and of course Percy but that was always what he wanted to show. We don't know how he felt seeing everything he was working for really happening.
Also it would be nice to have a little but more insight into his relationships. Like his relationship with Annabeth, Thalia, Grover and his siblings.
I think it would be awesome to see everything happen through Luke's eyes.

that sounds like a good idea, I would love to understand Luke.

Maybe Luke would've sounded like the "good guy". I don't know about you guys, but I read the rest of the books and I think if we read from Luke's view
