I know we've got less than a day left, but the UK Percy Jackson website has some better character profiles up for Jason, Leo and Piper with a crap ton of information about them. Well, compared to the other sites anyway.

Spoilers include: who Piper's mom is, a fun fact about Jason, and just more OMG AWESOME from Leo.


eta: I'm probably not going to have time to read The Lost Hero until like Thursday, so if you finish before me PLEASE BE NICE and don't leave any spoiler-riffic comments on my journal. I will reach through the Internet and kick your ass if you do.

If you have the burning need to discuss the book, please head over to [livejournal.com profile] halfbloodhill where a discussion post has already been made. Thanks!

Well, it's nice to see that most fan speculation has been accurate. I don't think anyone will be surprised about Piper's mom or Leo's dad. I did love the "as long as she's out of my league" comment; for some reason I really want to write a drabble where Leo crushes obsessively over Annabeth for the ride to camp half-blood, and then as soon as he sees Rachel, starts crushing on her instead.

I know, my mind is a weird place. I'm not sure how I even got that from literally one sentence, but whatever.

Also, Piper's dad's poster made me laugh so hard I cried.

Yeah, Leo's still my favorite. I think he'll keep on being my favorite from this "new generation" of demigods (even though they're only like a year younger, shhh!)

Wait, only like a year younger? So does this take place right after TLO?

WHY IS HE DESTROYING ALL MY PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS ABOUT THIS BOOK ONE BY ONE

...i can't decide if i hate or love him for it

From: [identity profile] avid-reader1029.livejournal.com
But think logically. This can't take place directly after TLO, because TLO took place at the end of summer, and this sounds like it takes place in spring or so. So at least 6 months had to have passed, hopefully more.

(It is really hard to think rationally when all I want to do is demand that RR rewrite TLH so that is has nico and percy and percabeth and everything that he doesn't have in it because he decided that a good way to increase his fanbase was to be a STUPID MEANYFACE!)

...RR has reduced me to a kindergardener. Thanks, RR.

I read somewhere it takes place in winter 2010. So I'm gonna try to visit the Grand Canyon around that time. xD

AND SAME. My family has learned that if I start babbling incohrently I'm thinking about TLH. It's kind of embarassing, really ...

I feel like that one is less of a preconceived notion and more of a...well, didn't RR, like, SAY at some point that our former heroes would be older? By older, I didn't think he meant "one year has passed," because that was the natural sequence of the first series anyway. I thought they'd at least be 18. If the book takes place in winter/spring, maybe it's about a year and a half? So they'd still technically be seventeen, but more than a year has passed. Is that possible? I sort of hate the thought that Percy and Annabeth got, like, NO time to be happy and normal and relationshipy before disaster struck again. I mean, they defeated Kronos. Give them more than a 6 month break. Y'know?

Then again, RR has always been kind of weird about ages...Percy was 16 and going into 10th grade. Now, I know Percy has been to private school in the NY area his whole life, and they often have a cut-off (though it's usually September or October and not mid-August). But Annabeth was in the same grade, and she's, I believe, supposed to be a few months older. So sometimes it's sort of like with JKR and her maths and you can't quite be sure what's going on there. For all we know, RR believes two years has passed but has somehow only made his characters one year older. (I think my bitterness is showing...)

Damn it, I was even wrong about Piper's mom ;____; I got too caught up in the eyes, pfft. I knew they would trip me up, but oh well.

Jason needs to stop confusing me and my speculations, okay D: DISTINGUISHING FEATURES ARE COOL BUT NOT HELPING.

It was unexpected(well,for me), but the pleasant kind of unexpected. I'm interested in what happens in camp when it's "revealed".

I know who his mom is, if that's what you mean :)
Which only opened up about fifty million more questions, but anyway, point is, YOU WON'T SPOIL ME THERE SO IT'S ALL GOOD.

Tell me who his mom is. I am serious here. I couldn't figure out the spoiler bcuz my brain isn't working, and I googled it and everything. Unless... wait... ooooh. I think I got it, actually. I'm either really off the mark, or I know who his mom is.

Haha, you're probably right; that's how I felt when I was guessing, but then [livejournal.com profile] greenconverses was all "no, you're right" and it was just like, what even, Riordan, you crazy person.

I KNEW PIPER'S MOM.

It's really funny, because I've been arguing with some people on Facebook about who Piper's mom is (they also told me that, quote "bianca and nico r rick riordans creation u cant do that"). I posted the link. >D

And I do not get the "reveal". o.O

Date: 2010-10-12 03:49 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] avid-reader1029.livejournal.com
Agreed; I too knew Piper's mom. I think it hit me when I heard about the mirror; I just thought, okay, mirror-weapon, there is only one goddess I know of whose children would use that. Plus, if you go back to TC, Percy says that Aphrodite's looks are constantly changing, which fits in with Piper's weird eye color.

And I don't think I get the reveal either, though my mind isn't functioning at its best at the moment; the combined anticipation for the book, the lingering giddiness from tonight's episode of my favorite t.v. show of all time, and the worry about the book, plus the speculation about the book (did I mention the book, because I don't think I really emphasized it enough. BOOK. And no, I am not making an allusion to the space-preacher), is kind of muddling my brain.

From: [identity profile] heyjessiex.livejournal.com
I just Googled spqr and now know the reveal. :D

My mind isn't functioning well, either, because of the book, lack of food, the book, worry for tomorrow, the book, excitement on getting out of school early, the book, and the fact that I'm getting out of school early to get the book.

...the book has a lot to do with this.

In sixteen hours, I will have the book.

Piper just strikes me as someone who's gonna be TOTALLY badass and not much of a "oh she's just a pretty face" type of girl.

I found a quote that apparently is Leo's. I'm not sure if it's spoilery or not, so I'm warning you.

'I don't know if she's completely unkillable,' he said, 'but she cannot be defeated by toilet seats.'
