“—do you support the gods because they are good, or because they are your family?”

I so love how Rick Riordan’s writing quality amplifies throughout the series, (or maybe I’m only realizing this now) but a lot of his sentences or dialogues were so well-written that it takes you aback for a few minutes and make you realize that ‘oh, this is so much like our real world’ or ‘wow. I can relate so much to this if I think more about it’ I mean, I know the essence of writing novels is also to capture what your real world is, like to create such thing for people to become more aware of in the most creative way, but it’s just so beautiful to even have a chance to consume their art as it is (I hope whoever is reading this gets what I mean 😭). I’m just so amused how beautiful the series gets throughout its progression. It started as a child-like adventurous story, suitable for children, then it grows as we are too. It levels the same way as our mind does and it’s just so beautiful to witness this. This is such a recommendable series that I hope more people will get into.

You can read between the lines in a way “do we support these certain people because we’ve perceived them as good? like just because they did good to you once that you’ve never think to see them otherwise, or just because they are family doesn’t mean that we are obliged to back them up whenever they’re in the wrong’ I know this is such a rough review but I hope you get what I’m trying to say lol 😭✋

starting this with choco mint ice cream is gonna be my cup of tea
