The Titan's Curse---Rick Riordan
Aug. 1st, 2009 03:46 pmThank you Mr. Riordan for a final battle in which the boy character sacrifices himself and the girl characters are the ones that go about and kick all the ass and take all the names. It makes me almost forgive you for Zoe. I think Artemis is now my new favorite Riordan Olympian, although I am still fond of Hermes and Hades. I also was particularly fond of all the scenes with Tantalus trying to eat. This series succeeds in entertaining me on so many levels. It's ridiculous and doesn't take itself too seriously. The girl characters are actually quite awesome and there are a lot of them. I enjoy Percy. I have laughed hysterically at least once a novel and the reworkings of Greek legends into a modern setting are so very clever. So, I recommend heartily despite the whole "The Greek gods follow Western Civ as it moves from one more awesome place to another" thing.
Also, Ophiotaurus. My new favorite thing, evar. Who wants to draw me and adorable eel-cow baby? Moo! Hee.

I adore Thalia, but I still think Annabeth is my favorite, but then again, I'm biased because Athena is my favorite goddess.
Hee, I asked Ryan to draw me a baby eel-cow and he just stared at me. So now I'm making him read The Lightning Thief. Also, President's Day 2010, there will be a movie? Because, if so, I'm going to be there.
