Also, part of that series, my least favorite character of all time HAS to be Octavian, who gets introduced in 'The Son of Neptune', everything I have to say about him will be in the spoiler section, be sure you finished 'Blood of Olympus' before you read it. But if you haven't, read any scene with him in it to see why I hate him, I wish I was exaggerating here, ANY scene will show you exactly why. Seeing him humiliated brings me joy, so read the end of 'The Son of Neptune' if you want to see something great, the end of that book makes me happy, unlike Mark of Athena, in which I had to wait THREE FREAKING WEEKS to read House of Hades. I wanted to die. It was horrible.
Spoiler! :
Nico: He's also the first gay character I ever read about, so, at 12, when I didn't even know it was possible to be anything but heterosexual, he was a real eye-opener for me. Also, Solangelo is my OTP and their combined personalities are just the best thing ever and, in all honesty, I relate to the two of them, as in, Nico's insecurity and with who he is, and Will's incredible stubbornness and protectiveness over the people he cares about (especially Nico), it's just not something I get to see often. I mean, I see insecurity in relationships all over the place in fictional characters, but they're all hetero boys/girls whose main issue is usually miscommunication or some kind of Romeo/Juliet situation, it's never about their actual sexuality and I will be eternally grateful to Uncle Rick for giving me that kind of representation, it actually may have been what got me to stop thinking something was wrong with me for having more crushes on my gender than the other. I guess He was just kinda my saving grace, who knows what I would have done to myself if I hadn't stopped that then.
Octavian: He is just the worst, what else can I say. He is a manipulative arse who deserves to be dropped into the Cocytus, covered in paper cuts, doused in lemon juice, and then forced to drink from the Phlegethon so he can go through it all over again. I hate him and his death was the happiest moment in all of 'Blood of Olympus', only surpassed by Leo's return to Ogigia. I can not think of a single good thing to say about him, he is the Umbrage of the PJO fandom, right there with smelly Gabe, and is the only person I can say I hate more than Gaea or Kronos. He's not eviler than them, but he deserves Tartarus almost as much as they do, NO ONE THREATENS HAZEL AND GETS AWAY WITH IT! But I digress, he was written to be hated, and he is, so I applaud Rick for making me this angry about someone who never existed in the first place, and got blown up in the books where he does exist. I just hate him. Every scene he's in can be used as an example of why, I wish I was exagerating.
