Still thinkin’ Bianca’s alive…
So at last I bid a fond farewell to The Titan’s Curse. Though this one also took me the longest to blog my way through, that’s nothing to do with my enjoyment of it. In fact, this is my favorite of the series so far. Things got complex, stakes got higher, and save for my dislike of the junkyard, I enjoyed everywhere the plot and characters went. I’m eager to see how book 4 measures up.
Hey, does this make Nico Hitler’s half-brother? …That’s an unpleasant thought.
At long last! It’s the final chapter of The Titan’s Curse! It’s the final installment of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Titan’s Curse! It’s the first chapter called:
In which Mr. Moo gets a stay of execution, and in which no one calls him Mr. Moo but me.
So I’ll be the first to admit that my reading of The Titan’s Curse has gone really slowly—far slower than I’d have liked to have done for you all who have been with me on the journey. I feel bad about that, and the book itself is now piling on:
For a minute we stood there regarding the palace, the way we’d stood together in front of Westover Hall, what seemed like a million years ago.
I know, book! I know! (Wait, what do you mean it’s not all about me?) Anyway, no more stalling! On we go with the nineteenth post in Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Titan’s Curse, aka… [Read more…]
For the record, I still think Biaca’s alive somewhere…
And now we get a bit of a bittersweet breather in the 18th chapter for Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Titan’s Curse, known to us mortals as…
In which Luke experiences rapid deceleration trauma!
Finally I’ve gotten a chance to read more Percy Jackson! Aside from other things I’ve been busy with on the blog, and novel-writing, my laptop went on its own little adventure back to the ASUS repair center because it suddenly no longer believed it had a hard drive or operating system. It was ever so much fun! But enough of that, because we’ve got…
A climactic battle, an impossible-to-survive fall, and I feel silly for not having realized something long before now. But hey, watching me feel silly is part of the fun, isn’t it? So let’s take a look at chapter 17 for Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Titan’s Curse…
Out goes Mr. Moo, in comes Mr. Ladon.
So after my wanting to not go so long between chapters, I…went a long time between chapters. But it’s not my fault! I’ve been away at the Pacific Northwest Writers Association Conference for the past 4 days. Great conference. Exciting stuff that I can’t yet tell you about. But I didn’t have time to read Percy Jackson! But now, without further ado, let’s get to the 16th chapter in Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Titan’s Curse…
If he’s the evil twin, does that mean he doesn’t have a beard?
Harassing the homeless, underwater seal wrestling, and revelations that knock me sideways. Also, I threaten Percy with an eggplant. All this and a little more in part 15 of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Titan’s Curse, which some may call…
This wound up being another stream-of-consciousness post, and it kind of just kept going, so it’s going to be more of a small river-of-consciousness post. Creek-of-consciousness? Yeah, let’s go with that. You can’t go wrong with alteration, after all. [Read more…]
