The Hidden Oracle

DNF - PG 64

Why?
Well, to put it succinctly, Percy Jackson. Beyond the fact that I like Carter and Sadie Kane, Jason Grace and possibly even Magnus Chase more than Percy Jackson, this boy NEEDS to quit showing up everywhere.

I wish that each series was not connected to each other - much like The Kane Chronicles, which was barely connected until we got to the absolutely unneeded crossover short stories/novellas - and then each character could be their own and then we would have constant shilling of characters. (Or just let the fans do that. They do it often enough as it is.)

So, my displeasure of Percy showing up, when I thought we were finally shut of him, caused me to start reading 2 star reviews. Caused me to come across ... well. I don't know much about Greek mythology, admittedly, but when a name was brought up and connections mentioned, I did a brief bit of research for myself.

It is said that Daphne was the first love of Apollo but unfortunately the girl never responded to his love. It was not usual or possible for a nymph or a mortal woman in the Greek mythology to resist to the love of a god, but Daphne did so and in fact, she lost her life trying to escape this ‘love'.
