first of all BIG apologies this took so long to post!! besides life becoming chaotic this year, I was also admittedly procrastinating on editing these vlogs because I hate looking at my face and listening to my voice for so long 😂😭 (and I definitely filmed way too much of me reading so I had a lot of footage to get though hahaha) but thank you for being so patient and kind, and still wanting to watch! I promise I’ll get the fifth book vlog out quicker. And to everyone asking yes I did start heroes of olympus! I had to force myself to stop very early in the book because I wanted to wait until I have the proper time to vlog my reactions like I did for the first five books. But the little bit I did read I already LOVED. Once I finish editing the next book vlog I’m gonna get back into reading HOO, and I’m so excited!!!
i watched that moment and immediately scrolled down to the comments bc i knew the people would have THINGS to say, and lo and behold, this is the top comment 😂😂😂
8:04 Oh you have NO idea how crazy this family tree is. Technically Pegasus, a horse, is Percy’s half brother which also makes the Pegasi Percy’s nieces and nephews. (Still waiting for the day Blackjack calls Percy Uncle instead of Boss)
I was rereading sea of monsters and I never noticed in one of Percy’s dreams, Thalia opened Kronos coffin and screamed in horror, Forshadowing Luke becoming Kronos
I remember being so frustrated that Percy didn't understand Annabeth's feelings for him. Like, my guy she's clearly in love with you, she's obviously jealous of Rachel please let her know where you stand!!
i don’t hold it against her but it rlly is the pot calling the kettle black 😂and chiron only rlly explains her abandonment issues to percy in this book, he is also being dumb though
lol I remember thinking Annabeth should get her priorities straight. There is a time and a place, and a Quest is NEITHER! 😡 Acting jealous and rude to people who’ve done nothing is toddler behavior and twelve year old me was very unimpressed 😅
@@sydneyhobbs9817 even I thought it was a bit annoying of her but again we have to let that slide she left her home at seven and then grew up with 2 wild kids and then camp which I think barely paid attention to their underlying issues
@@sydneyhobbs9817 I think Rachel knew about Annabeth’s jealousy because she’s been hinting at it while talking to Percy, but Percy being the oblivious idiot he was, didn’t get it but then again Rachel kissed him, while also knowing Annabeth was flat out in love with him, which was just a rude move overall 🤷♀️ then Rachel proceeded to dump him lmao, I just find Rachel really weird and arrogant
16:12 I really hope the show gets to season four just so I can see this moment. How I imagine it going: The camera pans over the sad/crying demigods, right past Percy... twice (he's crying because they really do care) He comes up to thank them for the really touching words Percy: No one has ever said anything so kind to me Annabeth, grieving and angry: This is your funeral and you will be dead by the end of it
Honestly i need to see your reaction to annabeth telling percy the last line... It breaks me every time.. "destroyed with a hero's final breath and lose a love to worse than death"
It is literally SO FUN watching your reactions to the story!!! You and I had some very similar reactions (the screaming and the “WAIT WAIT WAIT” moments) and it’s just so fun to me. I’m so glad you like the books as much as the fandom does! I’m also relatively new, (started reading the books in December of last year) but am on trials of Apollo and I love the PJO universe so flipping much!!!! PLEASE vlog you reading HoO I need to see your reactions 😭🙌🏻
17:38 You said it so well. Other MCs don't have a parental figure growing up in order to harden them as characters and to show their supposed strength in the face of adversities. But Percy having a good parent in his life shaped him so much as the hero that he is. He still struggled because of his ADHD and Dyslexia and he grew up in an abusive home with his stepdad. But his mom also raised him to be kind and loyal to those he loves and not see the world just as it is. The TV show also adds the whole, "Not everyone who looks like a hero is a hero and not everyone who looks like a monster is a monster." TV Annabeth also said, "Maybe she was preparing you so when you got to us, you'd be different than this." I doubt Percy would be a hero if it weren't for Sally and that's why she's a Queen among women.
Also with the Pan concept: I’m Christian and while some of that theology doesn’t line up with what I think, telling Grover “you have to go fix problems yourself, you can’t just wait for me” kinda lines up with the great commission now that I’m thinking abt that so that’s cool
@Char1ieTheChi1dOfApo11o It reminds me a lot of the moment in the book Return of the King when the Hobbits are outside the Shire with Gandalf, and they're like "Uhhh...something sus is going on. Aren't you coming?" And Gandalf is just like, "No. The point of this process was for you to grow enough to take care of it yourselves, and you certainly have." That grown-up moment of realizing that instead of having to wait for someone to do it for you, you get to do it yourself. A...passing of the torch, if you will
Oh I was heartbroken when PJO was over but was given "a reason to live once more" when "Heroes of Olympus" was released! I would highly recommend that series as an amazing follow-up to PJO if you are interested in another side of Uncle Rick's modern Greek mythology verse. This was super fun as always to experience with you; I can't wait for the final one! I hope you enjoy it when you do read it
“Nico wouldn’t kill anyone” and she also think she said something along the lines of “oh no Nico hates Percy” and to that I say oh boy you’re In for a SHOCKER when you read heroes Olympus
0:36 Regarding Rachel, I feel it's justified that you didn't remember her because she is only mentioned in passing in the 3rd book and only becomes a bigger character in this 4th book.
The use of memes in this is so spot on omg! Also yes Rachel with the hairbrush, Percy crashing his own funeral, Nico with a happy meal, and all the other collection of iconic moments that make up this amazing book!
I used that Dyonysis quote in my graduation when we all had to this of some kind of statement or something for the slide because we were doing virtual slide online because of Covid.
If u haven’t already, I would recommend also checking out the other books within the riordanverse. His Egyptian mythology trilogy is one of my favorites, but the Norse ones are amazing as well. Of course your should get through HOO first but the Kane chronicles is also one of my favorites and should get some more attention. Love ur vids btw ❤
I love how I gt to see people's reaction of the PJO books that I've read already. It's funny and nice to see other pwoplw like the same books and see their reaction to it ❤❤❤
What I appreciate about the PJ universe is that every character is just amazing. I mean, usually in a story about teenagers being heroes, the teenagers are well-thought-out, versatile characters (or they should be) but the adults usually suck, because you can’t have teenaged heroes with healthy families apparently. But in PJ, even the adults are really cool (Paul Blofis, Annabeth’s dad, saint Sally mom-of-the-year) and the antagonists aren’t evil for evils sake but they have believable reasons for their actions and they kind of make sense in their twisted perception. TLDR: just a universe including multi-faceted people in every age and alignment peer group. 👌 Edit: okay, so you talk about that as well. Glad we agree :)
I love how Annabeth was literally born from a thought and it like never comes up again. Like bro?! Does that not bother her at all?? Is she just chill with dat?!!?
I completely agree, and I don’t think that’s a bad thing. I think the mark of a great writer is when every book is better than the last. That’s why my favorite of the main three series (PJO, HoO, and ToA) is Trials of Apollo, and I don’t feel like I’m slighting the other series by saying that.
I love the story line in HoO but i prefer not to have the POV keep switching in a book. Though every time I reread the books i love the characters more and more. First time around I didn't care about Jason or Leo at all
it's so fun listening to the reactions of someone who isn't already big into Greek mythology, I read the books when I was like 12-13 and I was already a Greek mythology nerd at that time so I knew what to expect out of the gods and kind of knew vaguely what to expect out of each book since for most of them Percy follows the path of a specific famous Greek mythology hero. I also really like how the books don't leave good and evil as black and white, it fits with how the gods are in the myths. The entire intrigue of Greek mythology for me is how flawed the gods are even though they're supposed to be dieties
I think the 4th one is my favorite of the Percy Jackson books. Mainly because of Annabeth and Percy xD (they are also one of the many reasons why I prefer Heroes of Olympus)
My love for PJO series was reawakened after I kept seeing your shorts. I read chalice of the gods few days ago then binged the whole trials of apollo series after finishing (I accidentally skipped book 4 cuz I mistook book 5 as the 4th 😂 oh well). Rick has a greek gods and heroes mytho book with percy narrating it, it’s fun if you want a clearer picture of greek myth!
Percy's family try is wild. His Dad is Poseidon. Poseidon's brother is Zeus. Zeus is Annabeth's grandfather. That makes Percy and Annabeth first cousins, once removed. That also means that Percy and Athena are first cousins, and Percy's child would be second cousins with Annabeth, unless the child's mother is Annabeth. Imagine your own mother also technically being your second cousin.
I still love the fact that Percy went into the Labyrinth (Spoilers for Heros of Olympus books 4 + 5, and the rest of the franchise after that) With Nico, Annabeth, and Rachel, not knowing ALL 3, (Plot twist), had a crush on him.
Absolutely love this style of book review, and its amazing being able to re-experience the excitement I felt when I first read it (only like a year ago lol), through you. Keep up the good work, excellent worksmanship
One of the strangest and last stories of Greek myth, related by Pseudo-Plutarch, is also extremely short. The whole thing reads: “Thamus, are you there? When you reach Palodes, take care to proclaim that the great god Pan is dead.” Thamus was just some guy, not a significant figure. Anyway, this video reminded me of that story
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONES!! I love these so _dam_ much! And they just get better and better! Trials of Apollo was my favorite series, so I'm extremely excited to see you get to that one! But HOO is gonna excite AND destroy you😂❤ Bless Rick Riordan for creating these dam masterpieces. And all hail Rachel's blue hairbrush 😂
idk how else to say this but this video is scratching an invisible itch in my brain bcs you're reacting the right way to all the right things I love it!!!!
I'm so stoked to watch this! Also i know you spend a lot of time condensing these down and i dont know about anyone else but i would be so up for watching longer videos of this content from you!
Rachel Elizabeth Dare was my first big fictional crush as a teen. And even to this day, as an adult, I very much have a type, and she is the reason that it's redheads with green eyes and freckles lol. And artsy is a big plus. And I 100% lay the blame on her shoulders lol.
I just pray book fives reaction comes sooner we love your reactions, it makes me want to reread the books every time. A new book drops this month and I'm so excited!
Yayy you're back!! Do you think you are also going to read the HoO and the ToA cause they are also amazing, and also Magnus chase and the Kane chronicles and... yeah anyway, i love hearing your thoughts while reading my childhood
god i love this series and watching mikaila read this series. also yeah Rachel Elizabeth Dare was only remembered by child me because shes a redhead character who's initials spelt "RED" cant wait to see the luke copium with the final book. (side note, of all the gods, i think Dionysus is my favorite--at least from the original series. the reason he pretends not to care about the kids is because hes the only god who *does* claim all of his kids which total to only 2 kids. he DOES know all of their names, he DOES care, he just cant handle the continued loss of each of them since almost all never live to see adulthood. hence him always calling kids by the wrong name or seemingly-disrespectful nicknames). *_SPOILERS FROM HEROES OF OLYMPUS_* . . . . . . . . . . . . . . yes calpyso does make a reappearance and yes she is saved
Thankyou so much Mikaila, when you first dropped your video of reading the Lightning Thief, you encouraged me to read Percy Jackson and now I have fallen in love with Riordanverse, I have already read PJO, HOO, KC and am currently reading Magnus Chase. If it weren't for you, i would never have read Percy Jackson.
I love your vids so much as soon as i saw the vidio i went on it im currently 70 percen of the book and im so exited as soon as i finish your vid im back on track with the book love you so much
We've all worried about Annabeth too many times Also I've been waiting for this video for months!!!!!! When I read this book for the first time I was so speechless I was at a loss for words but I loved it♥♥ I hope your reaction to book 5 will be out soon!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW, This is by far my favorite vlog of this series, seriously, you have no idea how much I was holding back laughter and excitement throughtout the video, my dad was next to me and I was watching the video on my phone with my headphones to not make noise because he was watching a movie on the TV but I swear for all the gods that I will watch this video again in my room to scream as much as I can. After finishing the first book some weeks ago I can't wait to buy The Sea of Monsters specially because the second season is coming but your videos make me much more excited to keep reading and it was you who motivated me to read them in the first place, see you in the final book💜😊
As someone who just finished reading the 5th book yesterday, and the battle of the labyrinth being my favourite of the series, your reaction was so relatable.
Ok but hear me out… You know Athena’s sacred animal is the owl right? Well what if Athena can turn her head all the way around because idk godly stuff So then all of her children can too…. Just imagine angry annabeth looking away from Percy and then turning her head all the way around 😰
I absolutely love these videos and seeing your reactions and predictions since I know everything that's going to happen. The emotional trauma never ends. There are certain things in other books that I know will absolutely devastate you
So this isn’t Percy Jackson related but I have another great book series recommendation that I think you would really enjoy, and it would be great if you did read it and make a few videos on it because we’re a really small fandom. So the book series is called the Nevermoor series by Jessica Townsend, it’s not finished yet but right now there are 3 books nevermoor, wundersmith and hollowpox and soon silverborn. It’s a really whimsical fantasy series with those kind of underlying themes, it’s got amazing plot and really well developed characters. And it’s also really funny it’s honestly one of the best books I’ve ever read, and I’d say it’s very comparable to Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. I know you probably won’t see this comment but if you do please have a look into it, trust me you won’t regret it and the fandom would really appreciate it 💖
I would REALLY recommend Eragon ( The Inheritance Cycle Series) with how youve been revisiting young adult novels. Its got iconic comedic scenes, and is a great introduction to high fantasy... And the author just recently started putting out a new full length novel for the dark-ish antihero lance of the story.
You got the basics. The Labyrinth was created to contain the Minotaur. And the special thread would show the path through the maze. No, I never forgave Luke and never thought he would pull a heel-face turn. 1 book left? More like 20.
first of all BIG apologies this took so long to post!! besides life becoming chaotic this year, I was also admittedly procrastinating on editing these vlogs because I hate looking at my face and listening to my voice for so long 😂😭 (and I definitely filmed way too much of me reading so I had a lot of footage to get though hahaha) but thank you for being so patient and kind, and still wanting to watch!

You don't need to worry about it. If anything waiting a while makes us love these more!!! Take all the time you need.
No worry, also your voice is beautiful and you yourself are beautiful, so don't doubt yourself😊
Yay! Go gil❤🎉

YEAH SAME
He’ll call him unc 💀
Apparently he’s also related to the animal the Golden Fleece is from, so the remains of Percy’s distant relative brought Thalia back to life.
If you think about it, Percy’s cousin is Perseus 😂
Yaaa....
"Nico couldn't kill anyone. He's a baby boy."

ahhhh yes...no evaporating humans into ghosts...
yeah! he definitely didn’t evaporate someone in blood of olympus into a ghost 😅
Lol exactly

you HAVE to read Hero's of Olympus next...i NEED your reaction to Leo. The WORLD needs your reaction to Leo 😁
Yeeeeea we desperately need Mikaila to love Leo as much as we all do 🥹
I am 99% sure when she reads hoh she’s gonna say “I am never celebrating valentines day again” and idk why
I need her to meet the new characters in HOO so badly
Been reading HOO's last book last Feb until I read a spoiler about Leo that made me scared of continuing it. Please tell me it's just a lie 😭😭

I was like “OF COURSE SOMEONES GOING TOO!!” And you’ll love him, he’s crazy - literally😁
it's so fun listening to the reactions of someone who isn't already big into Greek mythology, I read the books when I was like 12-13 and I was already a Greek mythology nerd at that time so I knew what to expect out of the gods and kind of knew vaguely what to expect out of each book since for most of them Percy follows the path of a specific famous Greek mythology hero. I also really like how the books don't leave good and evil as black and white, it fits with how the gods are in the myths. The entire intrigue of Greek mythology for me is how flawed the gods are even though they're supposed to be dieties
I think the 4th one is my favorite of the Percy Jackson books.
Mainly because of Annabeth and Percy xD
(they are also one of the many reasons why I prefer Heroes of Olympus)
Looking foward to see your reaction to the final book!
My love for PJO series was reawakened after I kept seeing your shorts. I read chalice of the gods few days ago then binged the whole trials of apollo series after finishing (I accidentally skipped book 4 cuz I mistook book 5 as the 4th 😂 oh well). Rick has a greek gods and heroes mytho book with percy narrating it, it’s fun if you want a clearer picture of greek myth!
Percy's family try is wild. His Dad is Poseidon. Poseidon's brother is Zeus. Zeus is Annabeth's grandfather. That makes Percy and Annabeth first cousins, once removed. That also means that Percy and Athena are first cousins, and Percy's child would be second cousins with Annabeth, unless the child's mother is Annabeth. Imagine your own mother also technically being your second cousin.
Also, percy has an evil cyclops, an half-giant, 2 magical horses n a golden sheep's coat as his brothers..
I feel like someone has to make a new family tree for everyone related to Percy because OMG.
Yay!!!!!!!! I’ve been patiently waiting for this lol so happy you’ve uploaded it
please, please, PLEASE KEEP READING THESE! I CANT WAIT FOR U TO READ HOO!
I still love the fact that Percy went into the Labyrinth (Spoilers for Heros of Olympus books 4 + 5, and the rest of the franchise after that)
With Nico, Annabeth, and Rachel, not knowing ALL 3, (Plot twist), had a crush on him.
Absolutely love this style of book review, and its amazing being able to re-experience the excitement I felt when I first read it (only like a year ago lol), through you. Keep up the good work, excellent worksmanship
One of the strangest and last stories of Greek myth, related by Pseudo-Plutarch, is also extremely short. The whole thing reads: “Thamus, are you there? When you reach Palodes, take care to proclaim that the great god Pan is dead.” Thamus was just some guy, not a significant figure. Anyway, this video reminded me of that story
3:05 You don't need skill share, just read greek gods. Percy is the perfect teacher and also cook. Cause Zeus was roasted and canceled
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONES!! I love these so _dam_ much! And they just get better and better! Trials of Apollo was my favorite series, so I'm extremely excited to see you get to that one! But HOO is gonna excite AND destroy you😂❤
Bless Rick Riordan for creating these dam masterpieces.
And all hail Rachel's blue hairbrush 😂
All hail Rachel's blue hair brush
my highlights
"hera seems nice" im dying
"baby. baby boy" mikaila you are all of us
My favorite book!!! Finally! 💙💙💙💙
16:08 oh my sweet summer child…wait until HoO for calypso to call Percy out
WE SUMMONING THE DEAD WITH A HAPPY MEAL WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥
idk how else to say this but this video is scratching an invisible itch in my brain bcs you're reacting the right way to all the right things I love it!!!!
I'm so stoked to watch this! Also i know you spend a lot of time condensing these down and i dont know about anyone else but i would be so up for watching longer videos of this content from you!
11:37 annabeth is an icon, she is a legend, she IS the moment
“Someone is going to go back for calypso right?… RIGHT!” yes bestie the best character is Leo Valdez
was waiiiiiting on this !!
hope you keep going throughout the whole series. been binging them recently and have loved watching these alongside
Rachel Elizabeth Dare was my first big fictional crush as a teen. And even to this day, as an adult, I very much have a type, and she is the reason that it's redheads with green eyes and freckles lol. And artsy is a big plus. And I 100% lay the blame on her shoulders lol.
I just pray book fives reaction comes sooner we love your reactions, it makes me want to reread the books every time. A new book drops this month and I'm so excited!
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!
@@buggo_bug YOU KNOW MIKAILA TOO 😭
@@Papayiaaa I LOVE HER LOL
@@buggo_bug OMG SAMEE
The wait is ALWAYS worth it
1:45 "giving me the remus lupin vibes..." Got this thing... I suppose.
Yayy you're back!! Do you think you are also going to read the HoO and the ToA cause they are also amazing, and also Magnus chase and the Kane chronicles and... yeah anyway, i love hearing your thoughts while reading my childhood
Also I hope she makes it to The Sun and the Star!
“I’m calling it now” famous last words
god i love this series and watching mikaila read this series. also yeah Rachel Elizabeth Dare was only remembered by child me because shes a redhead character who's initials spelt "RED" cant wait to see the luke copium with the final book. (side note, of all the gods, i think Dionysus is my favorite--at least from the original series. the reason he pretends not to care about the kids is because hes the only god who *does* claim all of his kids which total to only 2 kids. he DOES know all of their names, he DOES care, he just cant handle the continued loss of each of them since almost all never live to see adulthood. hence him always calling kids by the wrong name or seemingly-disrespectful nicknames).

Thankyou so much Mikaila, when you first dropped your video of reading the Lightning Thief, you encouraged me to read Percy Jackson and now I have fallen in love with Riordanverse, I have already read PJO, HOO, KC and am currently reading Magnus Chase. If it weren't for you, i would never have read Percy Jackson.
I love your vids so much as soon as i saw the vidio i went on it im currently 70 percen of the book and im so exited as soon as i finish your vid im back on track with the book love you so much
Oh we been waiting for this! So excited to watch
You have to read heroes of olympus and we need your reaction to nico and leo, like they're our babies
We've all worried about Annabeth too many times Also I've been waiting for this video for months!!!!!! When I read this book for the first time I was so speechless I was at a loss for words but I loved it♥♥ I hope your reaction to book 5 will be out soon!!!!
Of the entire Riordanverse this one is my absolute favorite!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW, This is by far my favorite vlog of this series, seriously, you have no idea how much I was holding back laughter and excitement throughtout the video, my dad was next to me and I was watching the video on my phone with my headphones to not make noise because he was watching a movie on the TV but I swear for all the gods that I will watch this video again in my room to scream as much as I can. After finishing the first book some weeks ago I can't wait to buy The Sea of Monsters specially because the second season is coming but your videos make me much more excited to keep reading and it was you who motivated me to read them in the first place, see you in the final book💜😊
Literally cant wait for your cosplays of Heroes of Olympus scenes❤❤❤ those are gonna be so fun🎉🎉🎉
As someone who just finished reading the 5th book yesterday, and the battle of the labyrinth being my favourite of the series, your reaction was so relatable.
Ok but hear me out…
You know Athena’s sacred animal is the owl right? Well what if Athena can turn her head all the way around because idk godly stuff
So then all of her children can too….
Just imagine angry annabeth looking away from Percy and then turning her head all the way around 😰
I absolutely love these videos and seeing your reactions and predictions since I know everything that's going to happen. The emotional trauma never ends. There are certain things in other books that I know will absolutely devastate you
When I first read the books, I somehow skipped past the end of the lightning thief, so I didn't even realize Luke was a traitor for a long time
How do you skip past the end and finish the book? I'm lost.
@@CaseyCampbell17 I have no idea. I thought I finished the book, but apparently I didn't, and was too excited for the second one to remember
Yesss let's gooooo we waited for so long.
So this isn’t Percy Jackson related but I have another great book series recommendation that I think you would really enjoy, and it would be great if you did read it and make a few videos on it because we’re a really small fandom. So the book series is called the Nevermoor series by Jessica Townsend, it’s not finished yet but right now there are 3 books nevermoor, wundersmith and hollowpox and soon silverborn. It’s a really whimsical fantasy series with those kind of underlying themes, it’s got amazing plot and really well developed characters. And it’s also really funny it’s honestly one of the best books I’ve ever read, and I’d say it’s very comparable to Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. I know you probably won’t see this comment but if you do please have a look into it, trust me you won’t regret it and the fandom would really appreciate it 💖
I would REALLY recommend Eragon ( The Inheritance Cycle Series) with how youve been revisiting young adult novels. Its got iconic comedic scenes, and is a great introduction to high fantasy... And the author just recently started putting out a new full length novel for the dark-ish antihero lance of the story.
You got the basics. The Labyrinth was created to contain the Minotaur. And the special thread would show the path through the maze.
No, I never forgave Luke and never thought he would pull a heel-face turn.
1 book left? More like 20.
I’m so excited for your reaction to TLO☺️
