#and DON'T get me started on how percy's character was butchered in hoo

[pharaohcarterkane]

whenever I see a poll about "which riordan mythology series is the best?" and hoo is pulling way ahead of tkc, I just. i can't help but feel such disappointment. it's just such an underrated series. I mean it has its problems like each book and characters that riordan writes has, but when you think about how rr was releasing kane chronicles books back to back with the heroes of olympus series - the red pyramid then the lost hero, then the throne of fire and then son of neptune, etc. - the writing quality is so glaring. when it came to heroes of olympus, rr put too much food on his plate (so to speak) for him to handle with all the character arcs and hyping up gaia (when that battle only lasted what? 3 pages?), and his characters (ok not all but we know who) were hyped up to have these huge roles and then... where did that go?

the tkc trilogy's writing is just leagues better imo. honestly, just the characters alone showcase the quality of writing. i feel like they got fleshed out sm more than the newer characters introduced in hoo did. pacing is much better. if you haven't read the series, well - this is your sign to do so.
