Sorry this took me 19283102938 years to edit but here’s the third installment of reading Percy Jackson for the first time and not being prepared for how unhinged (and in the case of this book - emotionally damaging) it is! This was my favorite book (so far, the current day Mikaila who has read the entire series has different opinions!) and I’m glad I was able to document the tears for you, let me know what you thought about this book and if you were also as emotionally devastated when you read it as a kid!

I CANT SHE SAID “Did Bianca just.. die”
AND MY FIRST RESPONSE WAS “Ya know it was really unclear”
I thought she was just gonna be liiii kidnapped by the tjing in the junkyard & then show up at the end with the thing from the junkyard now tamed & willing to do her bidding
SAME!!!!
you're another guy who likes comedy, huh?
HAHAHA THE ATLA REFERENCE

"my mom thinks that annabeth saves my life on a daily basis"
"I mean she's right but that doesn't mean I have to like it"
Her grieving over the characters makes me think about how it ONLY GETS WORSE.
Yup i wonder how her therapist is gonna feel
@@neethuciju fr
SHUSH
2:23 "Annabeth just fell off a cliff" Prepare yourself cause it won't be the only time.
I was about to say that idk if that is what rick ment with his quote.😅
@@sophiefoster-kg3yithat’s what Nico says in TTC
IF I HAD A NICKEL...
STOPP THATS CRAZY
DONT SPOIL IT FOR MIKAILA
Oh girl-
The emotional damage has not even BEGUN
WDYM IT HASNT STARTED YET??? ITS BEEN 2 AND A HALF WEEKS AND MY HEART IS STILL HURTING FOR ZOË (granted, I finished the 4th book 2 days ago, and I'm still sad for Calypso so it may be it)
The immediate love for Nico, the complete denial about Bianca and Zoë, the emotional heart break that is Nico's reaction, the sheer amount of emotion and information overload that is the last few chapters; all of that was so unbelievably relatable! That was exactly how I felt too! Love hearing your thoughts and getting to your reactions to this amazing series!
The main difference between Sally and Mr. Chase that a lot of people seem to miss out on is that Athena is a maiden goddess... so that means that she and Mr. Chase never did anything that should result inn a child. We dont even know if he wanted kids. Athena was like your cool and smart here is a child. Sally on the other hand was probably more prepared for what was coming so it wasnt all his fault mainly Athena's for not asking the man if he was ok with their PLATONIC relationship resulting in a child.
yessssss!
my biggest issue with all things have your cakes and eat it too. you swear an oath no kids for you.
Hear me out. If Athena and Mr Chase had a kid, and Athena is a maiden goddess..... and Annabeth is a "brain child"
Mind fuck
.... I'm sorry😂

"I need to process this. No, I need to keep reading." The never-ending struggle has only just begun for you.
Just wait till she gets to "The Cliffhanger to End All Cliffhangers."
The literal cliffhanger @@thejalexander1837
Spoiler!
Just wait till beckendorf and silena die
@@kanishkpandey6068 fr😭
@@Ghost_King108 also
Jason
How Percy was going to throw up when he thought annabeth was going to join the hunt and never see him again… they are so cute!!
18:27 girl my face dropped I was like: don’t say RIP zoë too soon😭😭
WAIT I DIDN’T EVEN MAKE THE CONNECTION THAT I SAID THAT hahaha omg 😭😭
@@magicbymikaila omg hi!!! also yeah I was waiting to see if you’d mention it but… 😭😭😭
@@magicbymikaila do you know about the Percy jackson musical?
@@KrunchWorld good question
"Luke stop giving everyone trauma!"
😂😂😂
And he responded with... No.
I don’t think so
He is trauma itself. And SHE doesn't even know about ANYTHING that has happened to him.😢
Luke is the real deal here. At times, I ended up rooting for him more than Percy.
1:20 the term you’re looking for is juxtaposition btw. Great word
omg thank you!!! I still couldn’t think of it till you told me just now 😂💖
This is exactly what I was thinking.
"Percy and Nico, big bro-little bro relationship" *nervously giggles* you are in for a treat
BAHAHAHAHAHA
Hehehe....
haha... haha... (pain)
Hehehehehehehe😭😭😭
16:31 "You did not have to kill her Rick" Yes, he had for Nico's trauma
I already know once you finish Lost Hero that you’re gonna need to add to the chaotic pjo scenes is Leo’s “nah, we were absolutely destined to meet your hot sister”💀😭
“I didn’t know people were gonna die in this series”
Oh child you have no idea
Ah the childish optimism that sooner or later all PJO fans just lose. One important lesson from this book series: never get too attached to any character, they might bite the dust in unforseeable ways (Other than the Gods/Godesses of course)
@@likecat7886 yes, such fools we all were
@@LucyHarrison-iu8qh Uncle Rick would never torture our beloved CHILDREN. Oh Gods we were so so wrong
Hunters of Artemis don't just give up marriage. They give up any sort of romantic or sexual relationship. Arty and her lieutenants will look the other way for yuri/sapphic relationships if they are kept subtle and secret. Anything in the open or with a man, and the Hunter(s) get kicked out. And they don't age, but they can still die (as you learned). In fact a many of them do, since the Hunters hunt monsters and dangerous animals. A lot.
Also, there are almost 20 more books. There are three more series, and a recently released sixth book in the original quintology. So you have a lot more to go.
Bianca definitely could have waited, got herself a bit stronger and older before joining, but the temptation was too great… She was a child who made an ill-informed decision, not fully realising the risks or even the immediate ramifications.
they dont even allow yuri stuff even if its under wraps tho. we learned that in trials of Apollo with the couple at the waystation. cant remeber their names rn but the engineer lady was awesome.
@@yolotygr Emmie and Jo left the Hunters of their own free will, because they wanted to be married. It was implied they had a secret relationship for years (decades?) but reached a point where they didn't want to keep it secret anymore.
@@nickdejager8873 Yeah but that's just worse. Like you can keep being a Hunter if you play-pretend your whole life?
It's a great continuation of the theme of flaws. Artemis is among the most supportive of heroes among the gods. And she's a hypocrite. Not an easy pill to swallow
This was personally my favorite book of the original series, and I love your watching your reviews, thank you so much for posting this one!!!!😁😁😁
thanks so much for watching!! 🥹
I truly believed Bianca was gonna come back bc 'lost' doesn't necessarily mean dead 24:00
Ahhh I’m gonna just live in my clown makeup so I can live in this lie and convince myself it’s real
I hope Mikaila will be recording herself reading the Heroes of Olympus, too💔
I can just imagine her reaction when Annabeth falls to Tartarus so Percy jumps down after her.
@@matthewpatrick7263 yes!!😭 Also Mikaila saying "protect this child at all costs" makes me wonder how she's gonna react to Nico's story throughout the series
"protect this child at all cost"
yeah so about that-
also I hope we don't have to wait 3 months for the next book
My favorite Athena and Percy moment comes in Chalice of the Gods.
SPOILERS .....
Just the quiet like "please please please don't rat me out, i literally just want to go to school"
And Athena is like "i don't like you 100% but i got you"
Also the Gods are just the worst!! Posidon showing his more asshole side is amazing.
Man this book just hit different and so good
I love that moment. And they just had like that whole silent exchange in a single look
Mikaila - “I really hope Luke gets a redemption arc!”
Me - *😆😂🤣😭*
I mean, he does a little bit.
*Me, holding back tears* Ha... Kinda? 🥲
6:26 YES QUEEN SALLY HAS A MILLION SHE MAKES THE BEST BLUE COOKIES EVERRRRR
"I hope there are no spiders in this corner" gives serious Athena cabin vibes
I feel sooo nostalgic just watching you read this!!! *SPOILER * y'all remember what Nico was like??
Ikr!! Already read TOA am currently waiting for the Sun and the Star and the Magnus Chase series to arrive in the Mail, Can't wait!!!
He was so damn happy it actually hurts
@@notllikethat Ikrrr he was so happy and cheerful😭😭😭
Dam I can't wait until she reads the end of mark of Athena
Sjsjakaa
I feel bad for the emotional rollercoaster she's gonna have
Dam…
OH NO 😭 I’m still on the first heroes of olympus book, should I be afraid???
@@magicbymikaila yup.
Wiat what wait wait I’m also on HEROS of Olympus WHAT I NEED TO PREPARE
I am a book dealer and I’m now lending my PJO books to my friends, and he literally finished the whole series in a month like….omgs💙
A month? It took me a couple of weeks
@@brokklynmagician21 the first seres took me 5 days.
the riordanverse took me a month and a half to read, all together.
i want more. MORE!
@@brokklynmagician21 same for me….tho a lot of my friends don’t rly read books soooo….
I love how sally just immediately gets 1 million good parent points, she deserves it
8:04 Whos gonna tell her? im not
not me
i was laughing hard for some reason watching her say that. smthing is wrong with my brain🤐
Nobody tell her😂😂
Nico rn: 🫥😀
Idk i don’t have the heart to she loves and gets attached to what dynamics are used for characters and it’s precious and I don’t wanna catch her off guard too early
I will say this about Annabeths dad
I feel like Poseidon helped prepare Sally for what was to come and how she could take care of Percy
Meanwhile Athena was still having all the kids she wanted and probably dropped Annabeth on her dads doorstep with no word, except clearly he knew she was a halfblood, so he had no clue what to do.
Kinda curious where the evidence is for either of these
And remember it's kind of implied that Sally might be able to see through the Mist somewhat, which could change how she understands and reacts to things.
8:05 she said 'I'm really into this Percy and Nico like big bro little bro relationship' and i was like, wait till heroes of olympus girl. Also im so happy ur reading the series,i love pjo. Im reading the sun and the star rn and its so good, u should definately read it
the sirius-ron/percy-sea cow thing 😭
"not you, your rRrat"
you got me dead girl
Always the third one in the Percy Jackson books (HOO and TOA included) are the best.
And the Magnus Chase books too.
And the most heartbreaking
I’ve never read anything more impactful than the final scene of Mark of Athena.
@@ericherde1
It definitely made me FALL more in love with the books.
I know I was reading ToA book 3 and I was really pissed off at the 3rd books. Everything terrible always happens in the 3rd books
I am predicting that at Mark of Athena you will start reading the House of Hades in the same video due to how bad the cliffhanger is
I hated the HOO cliffhangers sooo bad because I read all 5 PJO books in like 10 days. Having to wait every other year while he wrote the Kane Chronicles nearly broke me
"I didn't know characters were gonna DIE in this series"
Just wait till she gets to ToA....
25:12
We all felt and said that when we read the words “Where’s my sister?”
“Protect this child at all costs” oh poor sweet innocent mikaila, have fun with the series.
Finally you released the dam video
2:23 "Annabeth just fell of a cliff...suddenly this isn't funny anymore" my dear childdd you haven't spoken any more truer words (TT)
Percy dropping "pinecone face" on Thalia was so 💀
It was so dam funny 😭
“Annabeth just fell off a cliff.” Hate it when she does that.
Good for Mikaila for getting a therapist. She'll really need it for the next few series
hold on lemme just-
"Stars," she whispered. "I can see the stars again, my lady."
A tear trickled down Artemis's cheek. "Yes, my brave one. They are beautiful tonight."
"Stars," Zoe repeated. Her eyes fixed on the night sky. And she did not move again.
no.
Why did you do that to me again
*inhale* WHY 😭
I didn’t know a kids series would make me cry this bad
@@ProphetElizabethDare ik!!! 😭
LUKE, STOP GIVING EVERYONE TRAUMA!!!!
Luke: how about no
Seeing Mikaila's reaction to Bianca's death is funny because that was LITERALLY me. Every part of it
I cannot wait until the scene after the blue plastic hairbrush
5:40
"RIP Nico, I'm off to be immortal" girl help-
Heroes of Olympus, Magnus Chase, Kane Chronicles, Trials of Apollo.
Don’t worry, you have plenty left!
The way i giggled when i was reading the Kane/Jackson crossover 😂😂
BATTLE OF THE LABYRINTH WHEN!!!!
"Unless theres like a shocking twist where Poseidon is evil"
Meanwhile, Percy and Poseidon:
_"Percy"_
_"Hey"_
_We have deep conversations like that_
You know by now no doubt but Poseidon definitely isnt a Harry Potter DatDA teacher lol
17:36
THE ✨DAM✨ SNACK BAR!!!
Now i need her to read the other 2 series too... She had to make it through
exactly. i’m a n the first apolo book rn and excited for what’s to come
AH I LUV TRIALS OF APOLLO. except rhe fourth book🥴
@@Raccoon711 i suppose i shall see, still on book 1 haha
One of the comments i saw in the books was that as the readers grew up, Rick's writing style and charaters grew up with them and as such allowed the older kids to still feel like they can relate to the characters while out of the demographics
“LUKE STOP GIVING EVERYONE TRAUMA!!!!” Made me dieee!!!!😂
25:27 This is when Nico goes on his hateful pathway then gets better then turns really strong
2:56
Not to diss on Artemis that much (I mean, I’m not gonna ignore one of the only headcanoned aroace characters out there), BUT SHE’S SUCH A GROOMER WHEN WRITTEN IN THIS CONTEXT OH MY GO-
Edit: also, have you read the Narnia series, by C.S. Lewis? Just wondering.😐
Edit 2: 8:03
I visibly cringed when when she said she liked the “big bro+little bro” relationship developing between Percy and Nico.
Don't forget Kane Chronicles and Magnus Chase plus Trials of Apollo
Yeah Annabeth be wanting to fall off cliffs the third book was just the first time 😂
I litrally reacted the sameeee for all of this but the “where is my sister” killed me😢😢😢 ur gonna love book 4&5 😂
pov I just finished blood of olympus and has seen Nico's character development
Mr. Chase deserves more than 1 point for making celestial bronze bullets and mowing down monsters.
I audibly screamed when I saw Nico for the fist time(I heard a few things about him) and I knew he was gonna be my fav character
Took a two month break from Pjo(cause I didn’t want to finish it too fast) and I just finished Blood of Olympus.
OMG! Ahhhhh, omg. Shursufabodi!!!!vaf ym *SI* ociN.😊won sgnilbis yllacisab era ociN dna anyeR
Bro, Octavian really said…. Well I don’t wanna spoil anything… 😅
It's been around 12 years since I read this book for the first time (dam.) (hehe.), but seeing Mikaila's reaction just immediately brought me back to that time and I felt again a lot of the emotions I felt when I read it, it was a nostalgic ride and I wasn't ready 🥲😂 (I even pulled my own book out of the shelf to re-read the Hoover Dam scene, thank you so much for that. ALSO, bonus for also making me re-read the scene where Percy, Talia and Grover are taking turns to share facts about Hoover Dam because Annabeth always told them bc she loved it and they miss her AND IT BROKE ME!!! AAAA!!!)
Great video, thanks so much for sharing with us!!!
hey Mikaila just wanted to let you know that there is a very cool musical called EPIC that I think you'd be into. It's based on Homer's Odyssey and has quite a bit of greek mythology in it. The fun part about it is that it's not only fascinating storywise, it's music is made in such a way to have a lot of different symbolisms. If you do decide to check it out, then you should know that some fans have made animatics that just add the cherry on top of the already fabulous cake. Beware though because there's ✨trauma✨. Also some TW which apply to most if not all animatics and the story overall: blood, death, gore, SA
My percy jackson boxsets arriving today and i watched the first two videos of this series last month so im here now to complete it to hype myself up for the series!!
ik you've read the last olympian so yeah, luke gets not a redemption arc, but more of a redemption moment like maybe he wasn't ALL bad
6:59 the hamilton meme 😂😂😂😂 i am starting to love this channel more. All of my favorite things are just crashing into each other
Please take the time to record 4th and 5th part, I love these videos. It's like looking in a mirror 😅😅
I was halfway through the second book and finished it then finished the third and the fourth and the fifth book all within the span of like a week and a half. I love this series so much and I’m on the first book of heroes of Olympus. I’m about halfway through and I like it but I am so excited to the mark of Athena like I’m so excited. PERCABETH FOREVER!! I LOVE LEO and nico is a STAN❤ my ranking for the first series goes (keep in mind i haven’t read chalice of gods yet but i do have the book)
1. the last olympian
2. battle of labyrinth
3. titans curse
4. lightning thief
5. sea of monsters
I still really want you to watch the 2nd Percy movie to experience the full fan rollercoaster 😭😵
only after she reads the books, there are book 5 spoilers in that dumbass film
23:19" tell the stars hello for me" Bob
honestly the third book is my favorite book, it is a emotional rollercoaster and i enjoyed it more then the other books.
i cant remember which book it was, but, BLUE PLASTIC HAIRBRUSH!
The great appearance of the dam blue plastic hairbrush is in book 4
*The DAM hairbrush
"only two left" me looking at the (counting...) 35 books on my shelves and the 2 ebook-onlys
My favorite is the fourth: the battle of the labyrinth
Did anyone else notice how she said that Nico and Percy have a very nice relationship and then with what we find out in the next series it just makes perfect sense
Plus Nico di Angelo is da BEST character!!!!🖤🖤🖤
Plus I love ur channel!!!!💙
I watched this video when I was supposed to be in school. I giggled way too much, and semi cried to the point my teacher pulled me aside and asked if I was ok and needed therapy
"Main character privileges"
Trials of Apollo (Especially the Burning Maze):
Nico di Angelo (his trauma):
Bianca di Angelo (dead+orphan, kinda):
Percabeth trauma (fell into tartarus)
Thalia (Childhood trauma+abusive parent):
Jason (dead):
We need more unhinged scenes!!!
Oh girl, you're in for a wild ride with the rest of the series… I do hope you'll also read heroes of Olympus and potentially trials of Apollo as well… because oh boy, it does get very dark and people do die but it is somehow still fun and very good!
I am honestly so dam grateful for these videos, cuz i have no friends that would understand THE EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER these books have put me through 😂
I'm just gonna say this... *Prepare yourself.*
Had at stop at 3:34 to say this - Titan's Curse was a hard read for me at the time. I just felt broken when I picked up the Battle of the Labyrinth with a half desire to know more but also with a heavy heart and trust issues. I can only explain the feeling as having spent reading the book diagonally on a sofa while side-eyeing it throughout my read.
Yayyyy! The books honestly just keep getting better in PJO . Im soooo glad your reading them 💙
I feel so old knowing that Rachel Elizabeth Dare was only introduced in book 3.
Okay but it’s so funny to see her clock ticking around while she’s reading❤
Nico is my fave after Annabeth glad you love him also the fact that she was on lost hero during this meaning she started reading 5 months before me and we're in the same series (idk what book in heroes of Olympus your in now)......... I HAVE AN AUDIOBOOK ADDICTION AND AM ON SUMMER BREAK WHAT ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO DO idk what I'm gonna do tho I'm gonna be away from my phone for a week so no audiobooks I need to rush to the library
Can’t wait for her to post about the next book!
There is also a sixth book that came out last year and a seventh coming out on September 24th! BUT im pretty sure you need to read Hoo first bc of spoilers
Wait, really?? What's the sixth's book name?
@@pandoamessi4079 its called chalice of the gods! It should be at target if you have one
@@pandoamessi4079 its called “The chalice of the gods” it should be at target if you have them
@@pandoamessi4079 Chalice of the gods
This book was up there as my fave. I loved how different myth were weeved into the story. There were definitely a lot of shedding tears for this one. You really feel for Bianca, Zoe, and Nico. 😢
obsessing over luke and hoping he gets a redemption arc is SO REAL
Percy and Nico’s ‘big bro-little bro’ relationship. I am happy I wasn’t the only one who saw that dynamic. I hope you read House of Hades. Good luck!
The way I yelped when I saw you were wearing a shirt with a bow and constellations while reading Titan's Curse, of all books!
18:37 PLASTIC BLUE HAIRBRUSH GIRL
I need part 4!!!!❤
loved this reaction! being able to watch someone go through the emotional damage i went through in grade 4 was fun lol i can't wait to see her reaction for book 4!!
This is 100% my favorite percy jackson book, love that you like it more then the last one
