Welcome to Gaia! ::

This is fantastic!

RR's website says it comes out October 4th.

YES, This is the bomb

Omg this so beats me becoming a certified Exorcist!

Afterthought, though...I don't think I like this new Percy.

I know, I know. A lot of who a person is is who they know and what they do - their surroundings. And this Percy would have no memory of Sally, Grover or Chiron, so he'd be a bit different.

Maybe it's just me, but does anyone else find son-of-Neptune Percy more, er, negative? He's still got that ability to make near-death situations hilarious, but in his description of things around him he seems different. It's the same humor, but his words are uglier. One of the things I fell in love with in the first book was how Percy could be so angsty yet innocent.

On the contrary, it says his only memory is a vague one of Annabeth.

I think it's the third person. We don't have his almost childish direct POV anymore. I like it, because I can't STAND first person.


IN OTHER NEWS, The Son of Neptune came out Tuesday. If you buy it from Barnes & Noble it comes with a brochure of Camp Jupiter in the back.
There are also a limited number of copies that you can buy which come in a fancy slip and whatnot signed by RR. But I'm pretty sure those are $80-90.
Hopefully I'll have more time to talk to you all soon!
