    there‘s A LOT of thoughts to this after finally reading pjo after years (i regret my recent life choices).

    i know pjo was westernised BUT what in the white supremacy agenda?? why take a religion that‘s undoubtedly connected to a culture & take exactly that culture away by centring it in the usa?
    the sheer amount of tactless brushing over myths (medusa??) or straight up comparing worshipped gods with dictators?

    i did enjoy the book at some, though it lost me at a lot more parts. like,, the lack of care/attention for percy‘s temporarily deceased mother (from neither any person around him, nor himself?) or the fact that this barely trained, twelve year old boy beat a god out of nowhere (for example).

    one of my few personal take aways; percy‘s mother slayed hard for turning her abusive partner to stone.
