omg yes especially because I first read the original series as a seven year old and they all seemed so old to me and now I'm closer to their age but they still feel very much like older siblings
hm yeah but honestly I feel like it doesn't matter because the books themselves are still super creative and well written and the whole hero's-journey thing is an actual studied phenomenon that appears in the vast majority of hero stories, but I do understand the repetition complaint with pjo especially since it's got so many books to it
the Percy Jackson series CHANGED my whole FREAKING LIFE they're so good
AND the pjo universe sprawls so well you will literally never run out of books to read - I started them in first grade and there's still more books coming out, and it's still relevant as a writing style even to an older audience :D
hermione and ron because the actors are actually friends and it makes the onscreen relationship better but i really disliked how every single relationship in the hp books turned out so i'm definitely biased
Exactly! I feel that way with Keeper of the Lost Cities too
That’s true. I think I just have to remember it was written for a younger audience. I rarely would notice that stuff in other series I loved as a kid.

Yes! Except it’s kind of weird to think that they’re all so old now

My ONLY issue with the whole series is (besides Heroes of Olympus) it feels like Rick started using this (really effective) formula for every book
