#i hope she enjoys toa like her her sister does tho

[bookishjules]

finished blood of olympus with the 11yo i babysit yesterday.. here were a few of her thoughts from the end:

"it's like [rick] suddenly remembered he wanted to give nico character development"

"nico got +100 character development and [percy] got -100"

"no offense but after all that build up.. [gaea's defeat] felt way too easy"

"we love piper" (this one's a pretty consistent repeat hehe)

i was surprised she didn't say anything about octavian's death, bc she really hated him, or really anything about leo being alive at the end. thought she did point to the word "six" where nico was referring to the argo crew after leo's death and say "sad :(" ..the main thing she was concerned with at the end was the fact that jason didn't die, bc she'd heard a spoiler and was so sure that it was for the end of boo (storm or fire etc.). she still hasn't gotten to the conclusion that his death must happen in toa.. it'll be an interesting next couple of books.
