And we've got our title, folks

The Heroes of Olympus, Book One: The Lost Hero

New Camp Half Blood series drops October 12. (Yes, I said drops unironically. Get over it.)

I shall now post a .gif which appropriately express my glee:

Am still bothered by the repeat of "hero" in the title though

I AM SO NERVOUS FOR THIS I DON'T KNOW WHY.

IT'S A NEW BOOK IT'S OKAY TO BE NERVOUS.

I'm worried he'll kill off my fave characters, but Riordan wouldn't be so evil to do that after he game them their HAPPY ENDING in the last book. Or would he...

omg the possibility that he'd kill someone didn't even enter MY MIND until you said that. NOW I'M EVEN MORE NERVOUS. I'm just waiting til you guys read it and spoil me and then I will decide whether or not I can invest myself emotionally in this. (FACT: I'm already invested, but I'm in denial, so don't tell me I said that.)

[livejournal.com profile] juxtaposie and I have already had several conversations about either Percy or Annabeth having to live without the other and it didn't end well either way. I really hope he doesn't do that. Although he did also say once that Percy's story is complete. I... oh god. Between this and FMA being at its climax, I am just overwrought.

omgggg buster icon lmao

I don't think he'd kill Percy or Annabeth off (at least not right away, anyway). He spent too much time giving them a happy ending to fuck around like that. I agree, I don't think Percy or Annabeth would do very well if one of them died quite suddenly. I think the only saving grace, especially Percy, would be a kid, but it would just be misery all around.

I actually read a fic (on ff.net) where Annabeth died and Percy was left to raise their daughter all by himself. But you've probably already seen that one. I think it was called Heritage.

Yeah, that's one of my favorites of [livejournal.com profile] from_elysium's fics. She's so good with killing Percy and/or Annabeth off in her fics and making it believable.

Oh man, I almost cried. The part about the Mother's Day pot and that whole conversation between Sally and Cassie about Annabeth waiting in Elysium. Too much for my fragile little heart, haha.

Sort of off-topic, but have you read the one about Luke dying up on Olympus right after Kronos was defeated? I can't remember the title, and for all I know, you could have been the one who wrote it, but I actually did cry on that one.

Hee. It's from the same author.

I really should make a list...
