The Biblomaniac Army (booklovers, UNITE!) v.2

@ everyone talking about The Heroes of Olympus: Leo is my favourite character (I really want to get an orange shirt and write "Team Leo" on it. Whomever has read Mark of Athena will understand what that's from), and Frank isn't bad (I mostly like him because he's Canadian, like me), but I couldn't stand Piper until near the end of The Mark of Athena (MoA), and even Hazel could be a bit annoying. Jason wasn't so bad; he was a little bit like Percy in the first book to keep me happy ... sort of. Annabeth was a wreck, though, in MoA. Her character was all wrong. Percy wasn't bad, but, I don't know. He kinda lost most of his charm back in The Last Olympian when he got his version of the Achilles' Heel.

I just haven't found Riordan's new series as good.

Yeah but Percy lost his achilles heel -- He isn't as cutely goofy, maybe that's because it's not in the first person? I was laughing soo hard when he was doing the team Leo thing though I feel sorry for him - the third wheel. It does say a lot that Percy also thinks Jason's a bit too perfect, so maybe there's something in it.
In case anyone hasn't read the Mark of Athena, all I will say is OMG, TARTARUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T LEAVE ME WAITING!
I am currently re-reding 'The Throne of Fire,' The egyptian ones - they're pretty good actually, but I don't like Zia's character much - poor Carter

I'm gonna read the Cane chronicles as soon as I finish Heroes of Olympus

Oh, the Kane Chronicles are great! And there's only three of them, so it's nice that this series is shorter than Riordan's other ones.

@Dexter's Gal
I loved the Kane Chronicles! They were great, even though I didn't know much about Egyptian Mythology beforehand.

^^ I accidently checked out one of those instead of another book I meant to get. Long story. xD I was so lost. I was like, "What am I reading."

Anyways, off topic, but who here has read The Time Traveler's Wife?

Why is nearly every book series a trilogy? XD

Oh, the movie is awful. They chose that actors based on how attractive they are, not it they can act. The book is awesome though.

I agree, the book is much better. I can't recommend it for younger audiences, but I loved it. It's my second favorite book of all time, which is a pretty high honor xD It's really the only romance I've found that didn't either deal with A) Teenagers who think they're going to get married, B) Hot guy - mean girl - nerd girl sort of a thing, C) Everybody finds a hot guy to crsuh on, happily ever after.

{ you mean, a trilogy or a quartet c:
it annoys me to no end. i mean i know authors have to make money but how hard would it be to write one sci-fi book without a cliffhanger sequel ending? ohgawsh i hate it...
