12 year old me: eh, i probably won't like these books even if i enjoy mythology
20 year old: WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!! DUMBASS
why did my 12 year old self think not reading a popular series was edgy and original. YOU 👏 ARE 👏 AN 👏 IDIOT. @rick riordan + everyone else i am deeply sorry for my fetus self this series now owns me. part of me wants to wrap all these characters in a blanket and go "YOU ARE CHILDREN" while the other part is like "DESTROY HIM!! KEEP ON PICKING FIGHTS WITH THE GREEK GODS AND D R A G THEM"
in conclusion, this series is fueling my mythology loving heart and i am H E R E for it 😭

In his pocket was a set of reed pipes his daddy goat had carved for him, even though he only knew two songs: Mozart's Piano Concerto no. 12 and Hilary Duff's "So Yesterday", both of which sounded pretty bad on reed pipes."

Thank you!"Thank you :) this book brought me happiness and will probably go on to be in my top favorite books ever. I don't think i can fully describe the feeling this book brings me but you pretty much summed it up :)
