I am in the middle of reading the Magnus Chase series for the seventh time, and as I haven't done much book content recently I thought I would do a post on the series. I thought long and hard about what I should speak about before settling for this idea. To be clear, I count the main characters as the protagonists: Magnus, TJ, Mallory, Halfborn, Alex, Jack, Blitz, Hearth and Sam, so I will be ranking the top five characters not in that list. I am ranking them based on how enjoyable they were to read about, how interesting they were. 5: Thor The God of Thunderclaps in more than one way, Thor is the only one in this list I am still not too sure about. I eventually went for him because he is hugely important in the series and provides comedy relief. He is quite hilarious and, as with many other gods in Rick Riordan's universe, I really enjoy how he seems so... ungodly.  Other competitors for this role were Mimir, Amir, Ratatosk and Junior, with a special mention to Otis, along wit...

I recently finished the Heroes of Olympus series for the seventh time, and as I haven't done a book post recently I thought I would try to do a post on the series while it is still fresh on my mind. But football posts are easier to think of, and I've spent quite a bit of time thinking about what this post should be. But then at school one of my friends who was considering reading the series asked me about the protagonists to see if he found them interesting. I told him there were seven, but then remembered all the other characters, some of whom even get chapters written from their perspective, and this train of thought eventually led to the idea of discussing some of the "side" characters, or anyone who wasn't one of the demigods the Prophecy of Seven spoke of. This list is a top five (although two inclusions include two characters who are, in my eyes, intertwined) along with a few honorable mentions. This list is based on how interesting I find the characters, no...

I am a hardcore Rick Riordan fan, and have read all his books except the Carter Kane series, and posses every single book he has written other than that and the Percy Jacksons (although I do have all the linked side books such as Percy Jackson's Greek Gods). I was eager to complete my Trials of Apollo series, and the final book was top of my Christmas Wishlist by a mile. I have received the book, to my delight, and was reading when something on page 100 popped out to me. An offhand comment by Dionysus revealed something very interesting, something that only the most hardcore of Rick Riordan fans would notice. It said, and I quote: "I frowned at Dionysus. ‘You could always, oh, I don’t know, decide to help.' He scoffed. ‘You know as well as I do, Apollo, that quests like this are demigod business. As for advising, guiding, helping … that’s really more Chiron’s job. He should be back from his meeting … oh, tomorrow night, I would think, but that will be too late for you.’ I ...

In my opinion Rick Riordan's best ever series, the Heroes of Olympus is an 5-book thriller that is a signature Rick Riordan combination of myths, action and comedy. To be clear, I am only focusing on the 'official' Argo II crew, so no Coach Hedge, Nico di Angelo or Buford the Table. Also this contains MAJOR SPOILERS for anyone who hasn't read Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus, Magnus Chase or Trials of Apollo 1-4, as this is focused on the lives of the characters over the course of their entire lives, not just the amount of time covered by the series.  And finally, these rankings are based mostly on character, so as not to put less-used characters such as Hazel and Frank at a disadvantage compared to the most famous and used characters such as Percy or Annabeth. With that out of the way, let's do this. 7: Jason Grace Jason Grace is definitely more of a 'least-liked' than a 'most-hated' character for me, but he was the by far the easiest to place. He...
