Honestly when tou think about it its kinda crazy that house of hades is still considered a children's book considering everything that was going pn in that book
Ppl think that? Wow 😂
That was always my favourite. I loved how dark and mature it got as the heroes made their way through a literal hell.
I read it so long ago I don’t even remember : (
Honestly the whole Heroes of Olympus series is pretty mature for a kids or even young teen’s book… Sure that language is pretty simple but the weight behind the character’s motivations is surprisingly mature in its nature, from ptsd to an attempt to save your father from being eaten… To literally using your soul (or something) to free the chains of a death god whilst knowing that doing so will likely lead to your own demise and or the demise of your best friend/gf! Like what?! Fucking drowning in mud as your friends try to save you and your nemesis is trying to offer you a perfect life with your loved ones but your forced to give up this prospect as an illusion in order to save yourself, your friends and the world Like WHAT THE FUCK?!? Seriously The Son of Neptune is metal as fuck!
@@griffins750 honestly i never thought of that before but you absolutely right son of Neptune is really metal
I love the sun and the star SPOILER especially when nemesis and her other children tells Nyx that she’s more than the goddess of revenge and it was fucking amazing
But all of it was excellent and way much better than most of the Harry Potter books
Fight me on it
@@olliecook2860 i won't Percy Jackson is so much better and the sun and the star was an amazing book
Nico and the cocoa puffs is the best band name ever
It’s amazing to see characters growing beyond their myths and becoming their own people. Even the monsters can change and become good if they want, there’s hope for the demigods to eventually coexist with them
If we’re talking about the OG Percy Jackson and the Olympians then I’d argue any one of those pare just as good if not better than HP. However if we’re talking about Heroes of Olympus then those as kinda mid. Trials of Apollo is a bit better and The Kane Chronicles are pretty good. But after the original series it feels a bit like the late stage MCU most of them aren’t bad but they aren’t particularly good either.
I like how this book is gives us a better insight to nico and will’s characters. Many people say nico is just a plot device who’s character is all sadness, but this novel gives us more sides to nico. In will’s case, a lot of people thought it was random for him to end up with nico (and thought leoxnico made more sense for some reason), and well we didnt know that much about him.
But through tsats we all got to see their characters get fleshed out :D.
I like how it isnt another “the world is ending soon” prophecy that involves percy, bc
1) that storyline’s been used 3 times already
2) it would get repetitive and bland
3) percy deserves his rest
Instead, I love this being a book to give us more information about what’s happening in the pjoverse and characters. I hope we get more of this, maybe one for Piper. It could be about her pov during the events of TOA.
Sorry if this all made no sense im writing it all at 12 am :)
Percy deserves to rest so bad
In comparison with many other novella…Percy Jackson just pales in comparison.
Nice series, very overrated in terms of writing. It’s the most basic of basic…which is okay.
Basic=Good.
Doesn’t always equate to bad. Y’all equate it to bad.
This is really unpopular as an OG fan (I started reading just before Titans Curse came out) I didn’t think Nico being gay was done particularly well. It felt like a bad plot twist and just going by the books it made more sense that if Nico was into anyone it was Annabeth, and I’m not even arguing that idea. Unfortunately if you say that some of the newer fans will either say your a fake fan or just call you a homophobe. Anyways due to this poor plot twist (IMAO) we Will comes off as even MORE of a flat character. We’re always focused on who Will is in relation to other people. To Apollo he’s his son, to Nico he’s a romantic interest and to everyone else he’s Nico’s boyfriend thus making him pretty bland. So I completely understand why people don’t really like Will x Nico.
@thedukeofchutney468 never saw any chemistry with Annabeth whatsoever
@@thedukeofchutney468 i respect your opinion. I personally don’t see him with annabeth though, they dont really have the same interests or any chemistry. Its not the same as percabeth
Rick riordan has to be my favourite writer
Sadistic grandfather that he is
Ong
The man just consistently writes bangers
8-12
If your a child absolutely
A freaking children’s book being the evolution of storytelling tells you how great the book actually is
Edit: not meant to offend children’s content or that it being the evolution of storytelling is strange :>
Considering many “children’s shows and movies” have better writing, characters, action, and world-building than in live-action, not really that surprising.
I know those aren’t the same thing, but the point stands
@@justincummings8557 most RUclips series’ like Eddsworld or Crash Zoom also have better writing then other TV Shows so I completely agree with you lol
@@Playerr237 indeed
It’s not
@@jaygin6518 heh?
What struck me about Mark Oshiro being onboard for The Sun and the Star is the books inclusion of lgbtq+ topics. It was always going to happen, but I don't think Rick alone could have written all of what we got. It's like, possibly the next phase in the Riordanverse, where Rick can work with writers who know more about some of the topics Rick wants to write about, expanding the inclusion in the books to be... well better.
"Lay it on me, Will. I'm your grilled cheese."
Ayo?
I read th sun and the star in one day, because i couldn't stop reading. It's a great book with a great history, great characters and a lot of things that i love.
But the thing i like most is how it shows the friendship between Jason and Nico and how Nico deals with Jason's death. I really love that.
Same
JASON DIES???
@@TheOnlyWay2Go. Sorry for the spoiler. Really
It happens in Trials of Apollo
I feel like mark oshiro and Rick gave Nico one of the best character arcs, that ended in said book, of any fantasy book characters in the world. I remember finishing this book and being like: "okay, Nico is happy the book had a perfect ending Nico and Will had a perfect ending, both in content and in writing of said content". This book is really one of my favourite PJO books
Wow one of my beloved pairings is finally canon! Nico x Happiness!!!
I have had that listed as one of my top ships for over a decade :')
Now we just need Kaladin x happiness... who am I kidding that could never happen
@@Halfwithero314you’re funny pal, Kal will find happiness when the Night Brigade stops chasing Zellian
I am jealous of the kids that grew up with the books. I wish I was able to read PJO and HOO when they first came out. I could have read the stories when I was the same age as the characters, but I was just able to read them during pandemic after hesitating to read PJO because I am a massive Potterhead. haha.
lol similar to me i reread hp so many times growing up and finally read pjo and hoo during the pandemic
I grew up with PJO. I tried rereading it during pandemic as well and it doesn't feel the same anymore. Must be because I'm old now lmao.
@@corvair5454 same
Got my House of Hades signed for my birthday 😅 Was never a Potterhead but rejoiced!!! At least you got a movies series that wasn’t an embarrassment… Then again your author isnt much to write home about sooooo 🤷 I guess we’re even lmfao 😂😂😂
Haha same! I read HP in middle school and PJ in high school!
For me the first "children" book that was way more brutal and mature than other books for the 10-12y category was Gregor the Overlander from Suzanne Collins. These books were so dark and graphic, I honestly dont know how she even managed to label them for this age.
After watching this video I want to read the percy jackson series again and also finally read the heroes of olympus
i will never tire of saying the heroes of olympus series is so good i would definitely check it out
@@luvmeday Yup. For me it would've bee my favorite series from Rick if the finale wasn't a bit flawed. Also I think ToA is underrated.
I agree about Suzanne Collins- both Gregor and the Hunger Games. These were the first juvenile/YA books I ever read where the characters actually had PTSD from the trauma of their "adventures." It was incredibly realistic.
It really is a shame the Gregor books get slept on so much. But man this video makes me want to reread all the old Percy Jackson books I read growing up and the new ones I've missed.
Holy crap ! Just a few days back I was trying without much success to recall the name of this awesome book with giant insects and insect-sized humans. Thank you so much for mentioning it !
I really love how the theme of changing the status quo was used in this book. It makes me hope that eventually it will be possible to have a more peaceful relationship between demigods and monsters, that they don’t need to be locked in this stupid forever war created by the gods
I got my childhood trauma from the house of hades and i loved every second over it
I've learned SO MUCH Greek mythology just from this series, ITS GREAT. Also, people say its a kids book while go to 1:47 of the video-
There's no need to get defensive over liking a book for children. It is a book for kids, but it's still great
here's my take: the writing was good, the storytelling was good, the plot?? maybe a little weak, and i feel like i would have changed a bit about will and nico's dynamic. imo the story did a great job of completing nico's story but it was kind of sad in a way letting that go. i wish the setting had been more of the underworld not tartarus that would've really changed the tone for the better. idk just a thought. i missed the lightheartedness we should've gotten more of.
LOVE THIS SM
I'm really glad that I'm seeing a lot of praise for The Sun and The Star, it's such an amazing book.
I remember reading the 3rd book and instantly loving Nico, glad he finally found happiness
This is my comfort story
When I feel down, I just open this book and spent 10 hours on it
Spoilers for the sun and the star: I preordered it as an ebook so the second it was midnight I got access to that book 567 pages finished that day and it’s so good in the house of hades we have the other povs to keep us out of Tartarus for to long so it isn’t hat depressing the entire time and for this book it was nico and wills stories about there life which made me mad whenever they popped up but made me sad every time they ended I especially love how nico accidentally came out to the camp because he wanted to ask will out for a picnic but when he asked the satyrs or nymphs to set it up they made it a coming it party. I was so happy they saved bob to and I have never wanted to hug nico more than in this book like when he revealed what really happened in Tartarus and the end with Piper was just an icing on the cake I loved this book so much
No matter how old iv gotten or all the books iv read the Percy Jackson universe and Ricks similar works will always hold a special place in my heart
Same here, especially the Kane Chronicles for me as a little spin off into other Mythologies.
Nico is my favorite character ever uncle Rick should write some story’s about where Nico was between the end of Titans curse to camp Jupiter
I read the books in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series more than 10 years ago and I didn't know there was another arc! can't wait to jump into it
My aunt Erin got me the lightning thief is like 2010 or something and I grew up with PJ and followed every series. I reread that Annabeth and Percy kiss scene a million times and it was formative of my youth and views on romance
Wow, this video was hands down the best i've seen in years! Not only was everything you said obviously correct, but the flow of the video, the excitement in your voice and all the research you did, pulled it together into an amazing captivating video.💗
I try. Thank you! 🥰
I read this book a couple months after it came out and god it's *so* good!! It was like reading the first PJO book all over again, a truly special experience from the very first page, the kind that captures the emotional brilliance of the entire book and franchise as a whole.
Every sequence with Gorgyra and the stories Will/Nico told about their adventures was so precious. It was a story not only for her but for us as well! Truly a special book from a special series!
Oh man
I grew up with the original gang
I was 13 when I read The Lightning Thief. This makes me feel so nostalgic
This makes me finally want to read mark of Athena and the subsequent books
Never have i ever wanted hear spoilers from a video that actually cares about not spoiling stories well done. Great vid.
I just wanted to say thank you for two things in this video it is awesome that you shared the information of a new book from the Percy Jackson universe. Let's just say I am a big fan of the Percy Jackson universe franchise. Another thing I wanted to say thank you to is for addressing the fact that oftentimes people try to put Band-Aids on things to heal things when in reality it doesn't fix things, healing is a far more longer process.
🤟Yw
I was already super hype for The Sun and the Star and now I'm even MORE HYPE! I can't wait til it comes out in paperback so I can buy it
Les go 😎
Hey man I appreciate you blasting my ears with that intro 😃
I really appreciate how this book also broke the stigma of the “underworld is bad” thing and how it affected will and nicos relationship to some degree as well. Also the Persephone talk was pure 👌👌👌👌 can’t wait to read The Chalice of the Gods.
This was a really amazing video! Was gonna read the later but now I'm very invested.
THank u!
The best quote of tsats is….
“It is Nico di Angelo, son of Hades! I have returned with my glow-in-the-dark boyfriend, Will Solace!”
I remember reading those books as a kid, it was the first “big book” I ever read, I was glued to it for days.
My only problem is that tSatS read more like fanfiction than Rick's previous work
Do you have any specifics about why it felt like fan fiction?
I AGREEEEEE
This franchise is THE most nostalgic piece of media for me and even still in 2023 I’m following it
Am i the only one who thinks after the sun and star ,jason deserves his own book,hes the only one of the seven heroes who feels imo underdeveloped
Damn, I might have to pick up the series again.
Read the original series and 'Heroes of Olympus', but gave up half way through the Trials of Apollo series. Might be worth giving it another shot.
I am so so excited to read this book!
fellow video essay maker here (across a few channels) this was very well-crafted and is a really cool analysis of TSATS and PJO/The Riordanverse in general
Thank u!
Unfortunately I never got invested into Percy Jackson as a book series. By the time the movies came out I was reaching past the target audience, the films left a very mediocre impression on me, and I was at the beginning of my anime exploration phase. I should at some point set aside time to take a look at the series, I love reading various levels of literature to expand my horizons of understanding.
But for my time, there was a kids’ series unlike ANY OTHER, one that sadly ended right when PJ was hitting its stride, and one I STILL love to this very day:
BIONICLE
That was the most mature storytelling I have ever seen, kids media or no. The weight of consequences, the characters. I still remember Takua braving the depths to Makuta’s lair, Vakama’s journey to becoming a leader, Matoro and his friends walking through the tunnel to Karzahni and all the horrors the Matoran saw there, the climb down the volcano’s spiraling staircases to the Mask of Life… the ultimate sacrifice… I remember it all. And it’s beyond my wildest imagination!
DAmmm I remmeber Bionicles. I gotta re-catch up on it, it was lowkey fire!
Loveddddd this book! I think it’s actually one of my favorites. I just wish Apollo made a brief appearance, I got spoiled with the last series
Just two months ago of this video. Thanks so much, for keeping this amazing book kn the spotlight. It is indeed and amazing book. It left all perfectly concluded, and still, its so well done... that I still want more about this characters and this franchise. Still, Its so well written that I could wait another decade for a new book, and it would be like not one single day went by since I closed that book for the first time...
sun and the star is absolutely amazing, couldn’t wait for even more from rr in chalice of the gods
And not to mention relatable characters in Percy jackson
watched .2 seconds of the video and already love it
I liked the book, don't get me wrong. The character development is well written and sound, there are interesting side characters, and as always in this universe, depth and humour finds a place in the story side by side. The only thing that bugged me was Nico suddenly being an expert in contemporary queer art, memes etc. He is literally from the last century, lives in demigod camps that are not really queer, and in the Underworld. And he can't use electronic devices. Every time something of that kind was mentioned, I was pulled out of the story. But that's maybe only me.
i wouldnt say that it pulled me out of the story but yeah it was the same for me it felt kinda weird
Not really, he didn't really stay at the camp much, and if you really like something you'll find out all about it og
I didn’t really like the book, but I did also think it was pretty funny
i haven't read the books in a long while, and haven't read the sun and the star yet (looking for spoilers to decide whether i want to or not). but are the camps in the books not queer? the greek gods are incredibly queer. from zeus to apollo, a lot of gods were in a gay relationship at some point. is this somehow not part of the pj series?
@@vegetablea9611 No, in the books Nico is the first openly queer character. Which is kind of surprising, but it is how it's written.
I’m 99% sure there is but I’m holding out hope: are there spoilers for the Nico & Will Book?
Nope, no real details are spoiled!
@@ThatPJOGuy Great video! I’ve been worried that the book will just cheaply undermine house of hades, but what you said about the finale puts that fear to rest, as a satisfying conclusion is more important
Fucking awesome video man!
I would recommend looking into some of the audio mixing on this video though, blasted my ears a couple of times on the music segments.
:)
Ok - shut up and take my money! 😂
But seriously - I really need to get back into this series. Damn - I really needed this, to be honest. I haven’t read this series since I was maybe 12 or 13 (I’m 27 now, retired from the Army, and going to Graduate School), but I’m convinced I need to re-read the Percy Jackson (and the Carter Kane series too, as I left off there).
I just remember the absolute love I had for these books back in the day - so thank you letting me know about this new entry!
😁😁
U mean Dam not Damn
@@onething361 no - I actually meant “damn”. So - shut up and don’t say stupid things, yeah?
@@The-Shadow-Realm Its a Percy Jackson pun
I wasnt one to ask my parents to get me stuff but these books are something that I really wanted and I received. My parents regretted it bc I’d get in trouble for reading these books during class and when I was supposed to be sleeping.
I finished blood of Olympus years ago, and was hesitant to start the trials of apollo. I don't even think i got through the first book, it was such a blur i might not have. I felt like the story was going downhill. i first felt it when nico and will got together because i thought it felt a little forced for nico to have all this beautiful character development to be paired with some random side character with less screen time than the stoll brothers. But i've been rereading the books from the begining, and i think ill just jump back to it. Im convinced the sun and the star is good but i want to finished trials of apollo first. I already failed reading the kane chronicles so heres hoping. thanks dude. hopeium restored.
House of Hades was dark, but the one that really boggled my mind on how it got a pass was the Series of Unfortunate Events. Heroes of Olympus always skewed closer to YA but series of unfortunate events seemed to be more on the younger end of middle grade.
Really good music choice dude
Thanks 😁😁
tbh i haven't read this book yet but i already know it's going to be awesome because I need development on solangelo
do you have a video on the trials of apollo series? or ur views of it? would love to see that ^^
I literally couldnt make it through the Apollo books so im glad to know the new ones are good, ill check it out
This is what Marvel should have done with their legacy stories
Great video! :D
Thank u! :D
@@ThatPJOGuy You're welcome! :D
0:34 Ew. Not the Peter Johnson movies.
I recently finished the PJO series and i just wish i got to experience reading it early on cuz i indeed missed out on a lot
When PJO had a mass existence, I was listening to UDD’s songs
Great video
Thanks!
Oh good gods above do I have things to say about Star Wars and the MCU. The MCU technically still has Kevin Feige as a uniting visionary but the output required thanks to D+ has made it a bit of a disorganized mess. Star Wars I have so much to say I don’t have the energy or time for it (right now at least). I was a Star Wars fan for years before I even knew about Percy Jackson, but all I will say for now is that there are a multitude of reasons why the only official Star Wars content I engage with anymore is Visions.
I love The Sun and the Star and other books in the Riordanverse in part because they tell new stories often centered on other characters rather than retelling the same story or being centered on characters who have already had their stories told. Something that Hollywood as a whole has a serious problem with. Alien, Terminator, Jurassic Park, etc. which tell the same stories or tell more of existing stories that don’t need to be told and they make the original stories weaker. Sure the emotional impact of the original is still there, but if you watch a movie to see the heroes accomplish something great and then there’s sequel movie in which the accomplishment effectively didn’t matter it leaves a bad taste.
The Riordanverse doesn’t have this problem for the same reason I mentioned before. It expands on what it has rather than milk the same stuff.
As for the book itself I loved what it did for healing Nico and for how much it fleshed out Will, and how it expanded Wills powers in a way that fit thematically. And a whole lot of other things. And yeah, I couldn’t tell who wrote what either. Beyond this one moment that Mark said at an event that they wrote. It’s possibly my new favorite Riordanverse book, I do have issues like just how overwhelmingly happy the ending was and I don’t think it’s as well written as The Dark Prophecy or The Burning Maze, but it hit upon a lot of things I love about this universe and it’s characters and even some new things that I grew to love.
Wonderfully said. TSATS isnt my number 1, there were other stories in the riordanverse that I think I still enjoy more than this one (will prolly touch on that when I make my full riordanverse book ranking vid), but I could not get the idea out of my head that this story did so much better than most of the legacy media nowadays. It was a great mix of old and new, that introduces new characters and themes, but also touches on some recurring themes that these stories have always told such as how being yourself is powerful.
I barely remember anything about this franchise, I read it years and years ago. This video, however, very much makes me want to read the novel. Do you think I can just pick it up and it it'll work for me or should I try to dig back into the stories and characters first?
Sooo, I take that this is a sign I should finish Trials of Apollo so I can read this, yes?
I've followed the riordanverse since like 2009 but I dropped off with the fourth ToA book bc I just wasn't feeling it so much at the time but I've deffo been curious about The Sun and the Star. Also, Rick and Mark were promoting the book at a librarians conference in Chicago this summer that I happened to attend but I didn't know about their appearance until it was too late and I think I'll be mad about it forever 😭
I really loved THE SUN AND THE STAR
Holy mackerel NICO was written in the same year I was BORN?!??!
Nico got a resolution? Oh I need to see this!
So i just learned about this book.
Went to Rick’s website.
And learned that a day or so ago, a 6th book was just released in the Percy Jackson series.
There’s a _6th book._
I need to get this book
Ive recently been dragged back into this fandom, screaming and having to be yanked by the ear but I don't regret it, i gotta say i truly missed this place
The fandom is great except for
"ThIs gOes AgAiNsT mY ChRisTIanIC BeLiEfs."
It still has cool cover art although it is by far a writing and a universe that pleases me, I'm happy that it was successful and that Rick Riordan has obviously grown as a writer and the public has matured, although I didn't ask for another book, true fans really want it.
Honestly I was not that big of a fan of the sun and the star but I’m still excited to read the chalice of the gods
Would it be worth my time to read this book as someone who was hugely disappointed by reading the Heroes of Olympus series?
tbh i will never get out of how far we´ve come
Same...
I didn't know that nico gets a lot of development after the last olympian, it makes me want to read the rest of the books
God I wish he was still writing the Kane Chronicles.
i love it when my ears start bleeding again after a wonderful intro
6:57 screentime or pagetime? 🤔
I want to buy and read the book and I hate that I had to get rid of my books because I had too much stuff and very little room. My other books by Riordan the original 5 books, Magnus Chase trilogy and the Trails of Apollo.
Yo, anyone know the artist that made the image at 8:07 ?
Alessia Trunfio
House of Hades has a special place in my heart, as a closeted italian guy i saw myself a lot in Nico.
Also it was when i started shipping him and Jason lol
House of Hades was everyone's favorite? I thought the general consensus at the time was that its very premise was super hype, but Mark of Athena kind of kicks its butt in terms of the larger cast and their relationship dynamics playing off better.
I know the hype for house of hades was crazy big, probably bigger than mark of athena's was. I remember everyone trying to read each other's copies in middle school. I begged to read other people's chapters because I couldn't get it yet. I think mark of athena was a better book and it's still my favorite, but maybe the hype affected the rating?
I don’t know if I’d say a revolution, but it’s good.
Damn. I need to finish battle of thw labyrinth and go bcak and finish lightning thief
love tsats finally a good ending for nico ! he deserved his happiness
also
the first demigod that I saw that gets help y'know related to his mental health xD
I counted the days to HoH release, such an spectacular book.
I am currently reading the Percy Jackson series ( Titan curse ) so does house of hades happens after the 5 books or is its a different storyline altogether ?😅
Yea the timeline for the series is a bit weird. House Of Hades is in the sequel series to Percy Jackson called Heroes of Olympus. To make it simple, House of Hades is book 9 in the franchise.
@@ThatPJOGuy thanks 👍🏻
Guys, I have’t bough the book yet, can I watch this video without it being spoiled? Or should I wait?
The closest "spoliers" I mention in this video regards a snip bit of Nico and Wills character development during the end of the book. So it's up to you but this vid mainly focuses on the impact this story has on storytelling.
@@ThatPJOGuy aight thanks man
I know this isn't related to the video but I have to share that when I read these books so long ago I read books 1-4 and completely skipped last olympian and read through heroes of Olympus 😅 Maybe one day I'll do a reread and finally get around to it.
What artist made the fanart at 6:33 "true hapiness"?
Made by "meetmyglowinthedarkboyfriend"
cool😍 new subscriber
Thank u! 😁
Not the persassy meme in the intro
PERSASSY OMG I REMEMBER NOW
I read the original Percy Jackson series and the heroes of Olympus, and damn the books were just getting thicker and thicker (granted I bought versions with larger fonts). Stopped reading after Heroes of Olympus, and I had no idea the whole story was still running.
I was able to get through my childhood trauma by escaping into the house of hades ans the rest of HOO
That book SAVED me
So now that Im older i cant wait to read sun and the star. It'd be like finishing a painting
This video made me so nostalgic!! Love it!! And if you can't wait for the new disney+ tv show, check out our fanmade adaptation of "The Lightning Thief" in the meantime! 💙
Its a fantastic teaser! Could I promote it on my community page?
@@ThatPJOGuy We would LOVE that! Thank you so much!!
What I like about the concept so far is the idea of opposites, For me, Percy Jackson forgives those who are not Otaku, but PJ is very anime and manga Battle Shounen in my opinion and here we have two characters who are the literal kind bright guy contrasting with the dark and dark character who needs to resolve himself this was a good idea from the more Battle Shounen book, focusing on main characters that has this trope of light and darkness.
