Either he's talking about Annabeth, which I have a problem with, or he's talking about me, which I also have a problem with....
If he's talking about Annabeth, we have a huge problem

I agree XD But oh well, for the Percy I knew in PJO, I'm in this till the end.

Quantity replaces quality in a lot of ways for this series. I was just thinking that earlier.
For example, we're told Annabeth is the "scary blond girl" a lot, but I find I don't agree with that opinion that the author constantly shoves at us. Same goes for his tone about a lot of things.
It gets irritating. Even if his opinions had truth to them, he needs to cool his ego down a little.

You pretty much are the only one who hates we. Sorry about that but...

I LOVE her I would probably be just like her if I were in her situtation.

Stereotypical YA heroines who always need their boyfriends to protect them? What YA books are you reading? Usually the girl can do no wrong.
Equally as annoying, and getting to be far more of a stereotype these days.

That's true.
(I never read the Mortal Instruments).
Do you know what kind of characters I mean though? Like Holly Short and Maximum Ride, where they always have to make a point of how tough they are "even though they're a girl" and rarely do anything we're not supposed to like?

She was HORRIBLE to Rachel and Tyson for no reason! She judged Tyson immediately and she only disliked Rachel for liking Percy!"
So if your best friend was attacked by a cyclops and was part of the reasonshe was was a tree than u would not be angry at cyclopes!? And if you really liked a guy and this other girl comes around than you would not be angry!?
Where is this discussion going?????
A lot of people say it's a rip-off of Harry Potter, but it's not even published yet(I think)! They actually need to read it before making judgments.

I'm not sure where Holly is from, but I get what you're talking about..."
I think Mary Sue is an attitude, not a character. There's no such thing as perfect, but some characters (yes, despite having flaws) are portrayed as such.
It's about how we're supposed to react to them, not about how they are.
(Notice how a "perfect" character we're supposed to think is funny is not as annoying).

I know, it does tend to get off topic, and I was talking about a new book she's co-writing with Holly Black. It's called The Iron Trial (Magisterium #1)
Cassandra Clare...I think...
I no longer hate annabeth we kind of have an on and off relationship. I loved her in PJO then hated her until BoO. She still isn't one of my favorites but I now don't loathe her as much as I used to.
Yes. Yes you are the only one.
Ria, I couldn't agree more.
That's why young adult romance is such a clown show... It's just a gross little game about worshiping each other.

Who are you? Are you even human?
I do think, Rick Riordan kicked it up a notch (or 5) in the HoO books, making it inconsistent with the PJO books. Even with that being said, Annabeth is flawed, and that's what makes her human. I can relate to her. Looking at a lot of the new characters in the HoO books, they don't have a single flaw.I choose to look at Annabeth the way she was portrayed in PJO. She's one of my favorite characters, because I think her good qualities outweigh her bad ones. She's strong, smart, resilient, and compassionate.
it makes the character of her past and her future what she is in the present makes the story more realistic. but they really are not that old either that is a childish thing "jealousy" but my parents are 35 and they get jealous its in everyday life and makes you think the book is more realistic
@Ria- I think so... oh no... wait... static GUYS! WE HAVE AN ALIEN IN OUR MIDST!!
well thats because he is special
And neither does Lt. Col. Bill Gage.

Harry Potter was an extremely rare example of romance that was actually fine in YA literature. I've never seen decent romance before or after, to be honest. Least of all in PJ or HoO.
Probably because YA authors think romance is something that it isn't.

Can you say that again? I mean, was that all one sentence? Because there were no periods or any other punctuation. Perhaps you could write it again with periods and complete words and maybe I would understand it.
Has anyone read The Lunar Chronicles? Because you will find some pretty romantic romance in there. And it is very well written. Like, really.
Chelsea wrote: "I heard they were good."You heard right. Because they are amazing. Like, really, really good.
Yes, Katie. You are very correct.
I love annabeth. She is my favorite character.
Annabeth is one of my favorite characters!!!!!!!!!!
I actually HATE Annabeth. She thinks she's so mature, but she's really gross when she says things to Percy like, "And brush your hair while you're at it."
You know Rick Riordan is just making her say that so we'll think Percy is so cool and funny in contrast. He just uses her to secretly worship his view of his main character, and it's really gross how he tries to make her all sensible and mature. Elsa from Frozen was like that too, and it's just stupid.
It's just a secret way of patting himself on the back again, and making some characters more boring than others (in the way that they don't like to do fun, normal things, and have to be all bossy). Just ew!
The whole "seaweed brain" thing too. It's just a gimmick to get us to think of Percy in a certain way. Yeah, no. I'm not gonna shake my head at him and chuckle along with Annabeth at him. He's not that impressive. Gag!!!!!
(Oh yeah, and when he makes her say stuff like, "boys!" about normal fun things that the boys are doing, it's soooooo gross. He thinks girls are all mature and boring like her. I just wanna barf when I read that).
