That is literally my favorite series ever (I’ve read it at least 12 times). It also was partly inspired by lord of the rings which is my favorite movie ever (I did not watch it till a few months ago). The world building throughout the series gets better and better (same with the overall plot). A lot of people say the series is dragging on which I agree with, but I think this 10th book (technically 12th) is her last. It feels more thought out than a lot of series I’ve read lately.
I have to admit I never read that series lol - I made it through the first book, got distracted by a different series, and never liked kotlc enough to come back :/
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 length of the books is crazyyyy like 400-900 pages

Definitely read them when you get a chance! Crank Palace broke my heart though. You have been warned.
totally
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
