Jay My favorite character is Annabeth Chase because she is brave when others don't have the courage to stand up for themselves. She stands up for others. She sacrifices too, which must be hard for someone so caring.

FYI, I put up the first book, but this discussion is for the entire series of Percy Jackson and the Olympians.

Yes, I totally agree that loyalty is the best trait in a friend.

Yes, I have read The Heroes of Olympus and I've been meaning to get to The Trials of Apollo but haven't gotten to it since I've been catching up with the series that I'm stuck in(The Inheritance series)...

Percy Jackson is my favorite character out of all fictional characters. He is strong, but he has his flaws. Also he makes witty remarks and is funny all the time. Can we agree that Percy is better then Jason, or am I going to start a war?

Sounds good!

Have any of you read the Demigods and Magicians by rick riordan? Annabeth and Percy meet Carter and Sadie Kane. It is absolutely hilarious.

You will not start a war! Percy is probably the best, because he isn't getting knocked out all the time by a brick... :( I feel bad for Jason though...

Hey. I know what happens to Jason. No spoilers for the people that haven't read the book. Percy is like the best friend you've know for a very long time. You feel comfortable when he is in the room. As Hera said in The Heroes of Olympus He is the glue of the team. He brings them together.

Jay Oh, sorry! I forgot that I invited people who hadn't read the series yet... I just talk about the series without thinking... :( I wish I could fix things like Percy...

Okay, good to know!

Danielle's Books (daniellesbooks) Too difficult to choose a single character, so I'll just choose my favorite from the last thing I read!
The last thing I read was the third volume of the manga spy x family. My favorite character has to be Anya. She is the "daughter" and I love her so much. She is an adorable character, and she has such a quirky personality.


bookishcarli | 1 comments Definetly Annabeth! I love her! She is smart, strong, and just amazing!


message 17: by [deleted user] (new)

I love Annabeth and Reyna! I love how strong and amazing they are, especially how they are the best fighters even without powers and everything. Nico is my baby though lol. (wait is this just for the Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus series?)

TOTALLY! The movies are nothing like the books, and the movies really swerved from the actual story-line of the books. Annabeth's hair color is wrong too... :( Kronos doesn't actually appear in The Sea of Monsters and die. It takes 5 books to kill him... The producers got A LOT of things wrong in the movies. And the books are ALWAYS better the movies.
