i just finished percy jackson and it was cool. but it made me realize how badly i want fantasy stories with 20+ year olds. not 12 year olds. not 16 year olds. 20 year olds. people my age, who are still figuring their life out despite being an adult.

If everyone is awful all the time why should we feel bad when someone who is slightly less bad gets hurt?
