The Last Olympian (Percy Jackson and the Olympians #5) by Rick Riordan - Restarting September 17th 2022

[Maria]

Through chapter 5: (view spoiler)[ Was Nico ' s plan mentioned in the last book? Or are they mentioning it just now--and my memory doesn't suck after all? (hide spoiler)]

[Maria]

Chapter 17 (view spoiler)[ I'd been suspecting Silena to be the spy for a while, but if she realized she was tricked after she started going out with Beckendorf there shouldn't have been filling in the Titans on the campers' plans. I mean, Beckendorf just sacrificed his life on their ship, but she was still working for them while she and the campers were in New York. If she managed to go to Camp during it all, she could've kept from spying for the Titans, too without them noticing. (hide spoiler)]

[Maria]

Chapter 22 (view spoiler)[ OMG the underwater kiss!!!! How cool! I saw a fan art of it once, didn't know it actually happens in the Last Olympian!
What exactly do you think made Ethan change sides on the spot?
Was being able to defeat Kronos the reason Percy bathed in the Styx? He believed the gods won't get to Kronos first? I thought it was all selfish, diving for the Styx, and just. . .wrong. I was hoping to find a better reason for which he did that. (hide spoiler)]

[Maria]

Chapter 23 (view spoiler)[ Disappointed Annabeth had known about Rachel and Percy s hand out on the beach but not the kiss ;p I mean, she didn't mention it at least :/ (hide spoiler)]

[Sorry I've not replied to the thread at all. I may just have to discuss the book with you after; I've nearly finished it but I've been too pinched for time to be online much.]

It's ok :) Take your time. I have some other things to discuss, too after I'm back from tuition.

[Maria]

(view spoiler)[ what about Percy s curse of Achilles? Will it stay?

Percy is so cute requesting Zeus for lighting Olympus' roof blue >< And Zeus is such a big - headed jerk. The parts where he had to thank Hades and Poseidon were hilarious XD

And YOU KNOW WHAT THE COOLEST THING WAS? Demeter turning the Titan monsters into wheat and Persophone transforming their weapons into flowers ><

And I was swooning at the cute Percabeth romance ><


'Don't I get a kiss for luck? It's kind of tradition, right?'

And

Annabeth, thank goodness, would be staying in New York. She'd got permission from her parents to attend a boarding school in the city so could be close to Olympus and oversee the rebuilding efforts.

'And close to me?' I asked.

'Well, someone's got a big sense of his own importance.' (hide spoiler)]

[Maria]

But you know what my favourite part was? (view spoiler)[

Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth. She croaked, 'Family, Luke. You promised.'

The fact that Luke's mortal point was his promise to Annabeth for a family. This makes me tear up every time I think about it.
And the lesson in this book, for me, was the power of friendship and the value of promises. (hide spoiler)]

[Maria]

Paul Blofis just seems to get cooler and cooler ><
I like that we have some nature - related characters. I love satyrs! ^_^ We learn how nature does have its role in the end--of healing and cure :)

[Dr. Andy]

25% (view spoiler)[ I'm glad Percy has finally agreed to Nico's plan, he's going to need all the help he can get to win this battle. I'm so distraught for Silena and Beckendorf. Poor Silena. Also, I don't really understand Clarisse's problem, like why won't she fight with the camp??? And poor May Castellan. (hide spoiler)]

[Dr. Andy]

Ch. 10 (view spoiler)[ Oh things are starting to get crazy!! I want to know what happened with Luke when Hermes showed up in that vision from hestia! Also, I love Hestia, she's great. Idk if Hermes should be blaming Annabeth for Luke's choices. Luke can decide for himself, it's not her fault. It's also not Hermes fault. I'm glad Percy figured out what to do with his sand dollar! AND THE HUNTERS ARE BACK!! (hide spoiler)]

[Dr. Andy]

Ch. 15 (view spoiler)[ This war does not seem to be going well. I was really worried about Annabeth for a second when she was cut by Ethan. I don't trust Prometheus's deal. It doesn't seem right. Things are coming down to the line. Percy's troops are going to need a miracle tho or some magic reinforcements. And I'm not sure what to think about Luke fighting Kronos's control over his body. Maybe it's a good sign?? (hide spoiler)]

[Dr. Andy]

Ch. 21 (view spoiler)[ They won!! I'm so glad they managed it. I love Percy's gift too. All of the demigods need to be recognized. And Annabeth going pale when Percy was offered immortality. These two are so damn cute! And it turned out Luke was a hero after all. Phew. (hide spoiler)]

[Dr. Andy]

Finished (view spoiler)[ Rachel is the oracle!!! :OOOO
SHE GAVE A BIG PROPHECY OMFG.
PLUS PERCABETH KISSED IM SO HAPPY!!! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I don’t understand Clarisses problem either.
I’m liking the romance that’s more prevelent in this book! It’s sweeg that Percy has Rachel and Annabeth! (hide spoiler)]

[Shae]

40% (view spoiler)[ wow so Percy saw a vision to see why Annabeth was so fond of Luke. I wonder what his dad said to him when he went into his house. (hide spoiler)]

[Shae]

53 % (view spoiler)[ so that explains why Annabeth was being funny about Luke, he came to get to her go with him again but she refused to. (hide spoiler)]

[Shae]

Andrea wrote!!! "

(view spoiler)[ haha percabeth! That is hilarious. So glad they kissed :D (hide spoiler)]

[Abby]

Chapter 8: (view spoiler)[Knowing Percy, he's probably gonna try to keep the fact that he was dipped into the river Styx a secret. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 10: (view spoiler)[So that's what the sand dollar was for! I never would have thought. (hide spoiler)]

[Raven]

25% (view spoiler)[ I feel bad for Luke's mother. I don't hate Luke himself either. And not even a few pages in the book, and Beckendorf died. I am ready to get my heart shredded in pieces. Also Nico seems to have a solid strategy on how to fight this war. The prophecy seems scary, though Percy seems pretty chill about it. (hide spoiler)]

[Raven]

75% (view spoiler)[So Silena was the spy?! Now that was unexpected. But I don't really hate her. She did her best, and sacrificed herself. Clarisse was really brave there. What did Rachel mean by the prophecy that Percy is not the hero? Is someone else going to die? (hide spoiler)]

[Raven]

Finished (view spoiler)[ That underwater kiss made me swoon.That was so good! I am going to miss this series a lot. Another Great Prophecy means another book?! Luke was a brave guy, I always knew he wasn't the evil one. Rachel would make a good Oracle. I think Nico's cabin will look cool, I always found Hades cool. Percy made the right decision of giving minor god's respect and claiming the demigods. (hide spoiler)]

[Abby]

Chapter 17: (view spoiler)[I had a suspicion that Silena was the spy. Looks like I was right. (hide spoiler)]

Finished: (view spoiler)[Yep, I could definitely see Rachel becoming the oracle. Good fit for her. (hide spoiler)]

[☆☆Hannah☆☆]

I'm up to Chapter 6.


(view spoiler)[Even though I've read this before I have forgotten some things. One thing was Luke's mom. I also forgot about Clarise not wanting to join the fight. (hide spoiler)]

[Leah]

Chapters 1-7:
I had forgotten a lot of what happened in this book. (view spoiler)[Rachel Elizabeth and Percy having a date at the beach, and her inviting him to go on vacation with her and her dad. (hide spoiler)] (view spoiler)[Shadow travel reminds me of Apparating in Harry Potter, which I don't think I would enjoy. Also, I had remembered that there was something wrong with Luke's mom, but I didn't remember that it stemmed from her ability to see through the Mist, which I had also forgotten about. (hide spoiler)] (view spoiler)[I liked the part with Hestia. She was an interesting god. She gave Percy good advice about the war. I also liked seeing Posioden's palace. I felt bad for Amphitite, his wife. It would be horrible to be reminded of your spouse's infidelity. (hide spoiler)] (view spoiler)[I had also forgotten that Beckendorf died in this book, but at least he saved Percy. (hide spoiler)]

[Pragya]

Chapter 2 (view spoiler)[ I thought Poseidon doesn't have a wife in this series because she was never mentioned before. 🤦🏻‍♀️ (hide spoiler)]

[Pragya]

Chapter 7 (view spoiler)[ I couldn't believe Nico will betray Percy like that. (hide spoiler)]

[Pragya]

Chapter 17 (view spoiler)[ I was surprised learning that Silena was the one. 😔 Clarisse was being really selfish for just a small thing. 😒 (hide spoiler)]

[Pragya]

Finished (view spoiler)[ Nico was able to convince Hades.
Percy wish in the end was good but gods forget so soon. Do Poseidon has more kids??? Rachel's story was shocking for me but there were signs throughout the book. (hide spoiler)]

[Claire]

Omg I totally forgot about this, I've been really obsessed with a tv show recently. I'll get to this ASAP!

[Sasha]

Hi, I am currently reading another book, once I finish it I will start this one :)

[Julianne]

Chapter 1 (view spoiler)[ wow that was a really fun start! I love seeing Percy in action. im sad about beckendorf though. (hide spoiler)]

[Stella]

Chapter 7
(view spoiler)[ What is with the love triangle? Percy is just so blind.
Poor Selina.
I wonder how Clarisse became friends with Selina?
I think I am starting to like Nico more, he has more personality finally. (hide spoiler)]

[Stella]

Chapter 14
(view spoiler)[ I like knowing mroe about Luke's past. It makes more sense why Annabeth kept defending Luke. Maybe him trying to fight Kronos is good?
I don't trust that deal with Prometheus. (hide spoiler)]

[Julianne]

Stella wrote: "Chapter 7"

(view spoiler)[ Yeah I think its so obvious that percy has more feelings for Annabeth but he seems so scared of them (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 7 (view spoiler)[ Wow I feel so bad for Nico right now. Hades definitely tricked him because hes salty about not being an Olympian!! (hide spoiler)]

[Julianne]

Chapter 14 (view spoiler)[ wow Grover's got some really cool powers now! Can't believe he turned that Titan into a tree.
It's good that the stone statues are also automatons. Maybe they can win against Kronos (hide spoiler)]

[Stella]

Finished
(view spoiler)[ Rachel is the oracle?! The first thing that happens is a new prophecy, wow wonder how long it will take?
Annabeth and Percy kissed! An underwater one too. (hide spoiler)]

[Julianne]

Chapter 20 (view spoiler)[ I definitely didn't expect this ending!! I'm glad that the prophecy was about Luke and not really about Percy. I'm interested in how this new camp promise will work out for everyone now (hide spoiler)]

[Julianne]

Finished (view spoiler)[ The ending really wasn't what I expected, but I did enjoy it! I'm glad that Annabeth and Percy are finally together, and I still enjoy that they challenge and 'rival' each other still. Like of COURSE they have to race each other as their last scene (hide spoiler)]


Stella wrote: "Finished"
(view spoiler)[ I really like that Rachel is the Oracle! I think it makes perfect sense for her! It explains how she can see through the Mist so well (hide spoiler)]

[Sasha]

(view spoiler)[ Chapters 1-5
What a way to start a book! It's sad that Beckendorf have to sacrifice his life to blow the ship. It seems that there is someone in the camp that is being a spy to Kronos. I really can't think of someone doing that! (hide spoiler)]

[Sasha]

Chapters 6-10
(view spoiler)[ Grover is alive! I really thought that something bad had happened to him, but Morpheus sent him to nap for two months. I can't believe that Nico betrayed Percy. Percy bathed at the River Styx to get more power to defeat Luke. (hide spoiler)]

[Sasha]

Julianne wrote: "Chapter 1 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I really feel bad for Nico since Hades betrayed him! (hide spoiler)]

[Sasha]

Julianne wrote: "Stella wrote: "Chapter 7"

[spoilers removed]

Chapter 7 [spoilers removed]"

Yeah I really don't like the character of Hades. He is always causing trouble

[Sasha]

Chapter 11-15
(view spoiler)[ Percy learns more the back story of Luke, where Hades knew that Luke will turn evil but he didn't do anything to change his son.

I like the fact that the statues are automations and are helping in the fighting against Kronos. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley W]

Chapter 1
(view spoiler)[ Good call Beckendorf on not telling Annabeth about Rachel. lol (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley W]

Chapter 2
(view spoiler)[ Yeah, I can see how it would be awkward to meet his ocean family. Especially his wife. Eek. I hadn't realized that their appearance reflects their realm. I wonder how that would work for Aphrodite or Athena? (hide spoiler)]
