This book was just heavily based on nostalgia for me. Seeing Percy, Annabeth and Grover do quests and all the callbacks to PJO was just nostalgic in a really good way.

I haven’t read a book this quickly in a long time, in part because it’s so short but also because Rick’s style of writing is just do comforting and easy to read

In my headcanon, Percy proposes to Annabeth by throwing an apple at her. The same way they did in ancient Greece.

I have decided that once my copy of this book arrives i will have an entire day dedicated to percy jackson. The musical, blue foods, percy tiktoks, and ashlees content

Brazilian Annabeth stan here. I read the hole book in one go, non stop, and I kind of regret it, I wish I could have savored it better, but as you said, that makes a not so far away re-read possible, and I'm already excited about it. I can describe how this trio is a core part of my personality today, not my public personality, but my intimate personality, the one that I like to save just for myself. I re-read the hole universe every time I'm going through some shit, and it have bem most of the time in the last two years. It's just amazing how comforting it feels to get back to this universe, to this characters minds, and it's so good to see them being in peace, no world ending threat, just some adventures, allowing silly moments and wholesomeness all together. At this re-read I really enjoyed watching your videos after finishing every book and I was genuinely afraid that you might not make a video about this one, definitely would love to see videos about TOA and the new Sun And Stars. I glad you did this one though. You really feel like a long term friend, it's a shame we're in two extremities of the world, but I would love to meet you some day. Thanks❤

i didn't think i could love percy more but then he goes and gets even more perfect also meeting you in will cosplay at ozcomiccon was a dream come true because you quite literally are THE annabeth cosplayer and always will be

I have never been this excited for a video

I relate so much with your enthusiasm and all, love your videos

Awh I've missed u and ur videos so much!

watching an ashlee tayla reading vlog of PJO is simply a need

I've been waiting for Ashlee to post this lol I finished it last night

YESSS i love ur book vlogs so much you just get it ❤❤

You definitely the fun one in the groups.

I swear my reaction to the end of this book was the same as yours. Also wish you'd included the little bit of young Grover headbutting percy to assert dominance in the herd.

No the hat thing 😭😭😭 bc Percy has worn that hate MULTIPLE TIMES and they never mentioned that. Rick pulled that out of nowhere and it’s making me SKFBDIBFJFBDH 😭😭😭

Only issue with this book is that Percy has worn Annabeths hat before in The Titans Curse and never mentioned feeling anything. Other than that AMAZING book

Omg, I had no idea this was a thing! I’m so excited

I have been waiting for this one 😆

Your reactions are everything !! 😂 (random sorry but you should watch almighty Johnson's) Australian family being the Norse gods reincarnated. Great show

I’m only a few minutes in, but we are so alike. Coconut milk IS disgusting, I think I’m some type of neurodivergent, and also I get ur Sabrina carpenter reference girl. I find your videos so comforting, keep it up!

oh my gods,I needed this so much-Percy Jackson and your channel are such comfort spaces for me. Who's starting the 'Annabeth Chase is my hero' club and how do I join it?? This book is so special to me and to see others just as in love with it is so lovely🥹 [ALSO the way your olivia rodrigo reference,cornelia street and 'forks are fucking everywhere' were also the first things to come to my mind???]

Will you react to the new percy Jackson series

Percy and Annabeth really do stan each other

i’m in my 20s. there’s a new pjo book and more on the way. what a surreal thing to say

Thank you! It is a joy to get a reading vlog from you! While this was a nostalgic ride for me to have the original three come back and settle from the gut-wrenching dangers engraved into their history. However, I felt a little disappointed with this book. I felt that too many pop culture phenoms were in the story (Godtok aka Tiktok) and Percy addressed the term, "boomers" which made me a little unsettled that Percy would mention something like this. In addition, I miss Annabeth's features being mentioned like in the past book: Curly blond hair, tan skin, and gray eyes. All of these are usually brought up by Percy describing her which made me a bit sad and question, why the change? Anyway, I love your videos. Thank you so much!

I neeeeeeeeeeddddd iiiiiiiiiitttttttttttt 😍

I finally read it, time to watch the video 0:10 I live on the other end of the world and I have the same cover 3:24 No need to apologize 3:29 but you will still look cute 3:53 the only "custom" bookmark I have was one I made out of cardboard when I was like five. This is a lot better 4:03 I don't need it. I don't need it. I don't need it. 5:49 I think I know why you were considering Cornelia Street 7:02 I'm sad to report that I don't 15:25 Still remember that one part 16:05 Fully agree. Fun fact: I once said that my fanfiction about Annabeth was made "with the help of leading experts in the field". You were that expert 17:04-17:17 best part of the video so far 18:08 Almost everything you say is weird and I mean that as a compliment 19:41 My first thought was that Annabeth wouldn't make fun of Percy for acting like a child because of her own experience, but then I realized that that is totally something Annabeth would do. What I'm saying is that Annabeth kind of lost her childhood, so I would imagine that, under specific circumstances, she might want to act like you unwrapping squishmallows, however, ignoring that want and coping with hypocracy is also very much in character for her. 21:29 You think she even goes to therapy 22:26 He can still tease her in elysium 24:19 That imitation caught me completely of guard 25:12 I gotta remember that one Edit: Imma put that in my fanfiction 25:29 Why'd you cut that, I could have listened to you laughing for at least a few minutes 28:00 Other people: Just gotta make it till friday. Annabeth: Just gotta make it to the next pjo book Edit: I meant Ashlee, not Annabeth, but I want you to know that I made that mistake. 29:52 I'm not really seeing the downsides here 30:03 sounds like a classical case of champagne problems (is that what the song is about, I've only listened to it once) 31:09 Then I'll do my best (not very good) to comfort you 32:02 The word "wither" + ashlee --> Wither and decay / end this destiny / break these earthly chains / and set the spirit free / the spirit free 33:03 You mean like when my mom mistook you for Taylor swift 33:10 "Inside joke"? That's a funny way of spelling "coping mechanism" 36:58 Never noticed that 37:44 Yes. Get yourself a diagnosis. You definitely have something and I have a feeling it's more than just ADHD 43:55 The way you're almost fascinated by that 45:23 That just sounds like you're justifying your weird relationship with food (which is fine to have, this is a safe space) 46:51 Also, didn't Percy wear the cap in titan's curse? 46:56 That is a way more acceptable explanation for me than "Annabeth has absolutely no sensory issues" 50:27 Professional sidekick, never heard that before 50:57 why does your voice remind me of tim idboy? 52:22 if? 52:40 schist

oh my god not ready for Ashlee crying for an hour…

I have this head cannon that the percy jackosn books exist in the books because rick is suppsoe to be a senior scibe in the camp half blood guide book and him talking abt Wandavision is just fueling my head cannon

My favorite content is ashlee in her element however when shes in her element she is usually crying so sorry ashlee

i need someones opinion i really like getting box sets, but this box set comes out in a few years so what do I do. all my books r apart of box sets

Bins

Is this book a standalone?

ur really cool and pretty

I would do anything. Anything. To get you to do audiobooks on KZfaq of PJO. I would pay all the money for that

I eat cereal for dinner so who am I to judge

15:27-15:33 oh shit you’re really laughing at a time like this poor Percy

Will we get any videos on the Disney plus tv show? Reaction or review ? 👀
