But I really appreciate that Percy made the conscious decision to call the gods out for their bullshit and that we finally got Percabeth.Also, interesting observation: after having read Song of Achilles a few weeks ago, I absolutely loved the parallels Rick Riordan had made between the Battle of Troy and the Battle of Manhattan. Spoilers for Song of Achilles below:
Spoiler
A hero's honor is disrespected over a feud, and they refuse to go to battle even when absolutely necessary. A dear "friend" of the hero disguises themselves in the hero's armor, only to fall after facing a foe only the hero can defeat. The hero defeats the foe to avenge their friend's death, and then drags the foe's body behind their chariot while demanding to fight the leader of the enemy's army.Now, is the hero I'm speaking of Clarisse or Achilles? The friend, Silena or Patroclus? The foe, the drakon or Hector? And the leader of the opposing army, Kronos or Paris?
All that to say, I believe that Clarisse and Silena were secretly dating behind Beckendorf and Chris Rodriguez's backs, or at least in love with each other. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
