The House of Hades discussion

Does anyone else dislike Percy?

No... I love Percy! Why would you say that?

I love him, but why do you dislike him??

I don't dislike him as a whole, no, but there are certain times where I feel like I do. I loved Percy in the PJO series, where he was just a awkward, cute, funny teenager, balancing his regular life with his demigod one. In the HoO series, I didn't like the way he was portrayed. He lost his temper all the time, all the other characters were almost afraid of him, and he was super overly protective of Annabeth. I understand that she's his girlfriend, but still. I don't think Percy would've reacted like that before. And then there's post-Tartarus Percy. I'm not gonna lie. Percy acts just like Luke here. He's always disrespecting the gods and resenting them. He seems really bitter towards him, even in the ToA where Percy doesn't want to help Apollo. I feel like Percy and Luke were always similar, but the closer to Luke's age that Percy grows, it seems his anger towards the gods also grows. He gets more pessimistic, hotheaded and sarcastic as the series goes on. I kind of prefer my lighthearted, humorous, optimistic young Percy.

I dislike Annabeth, but I love Percy. I'm ready to die now...

I agree with Liyla(sorry if I spelt your name wrong) his characteristics become more and more like Luke and less himself, but I still like Percy I just wish Rick dipped back into the personality we all love

(edit) it is now a year later and i have no idea what the hell i was talking about

I liked Percy in this book. I don't think he was like Luke.

I remember first reading that- I died

No, I love Percy!

I had a lot of respect for Percy in HoO and other series
*SPOILER FOR TRIALS OF APOLLO ALERT*
but in Trials of Apollo when Apollo needs his help-
I love Percy

What? If you don't love Percy why do you even read the books? Percy is amazing!!!

Percy is awesome 🤩

UHHH. NOOOOO

I ABSOFREAKINLUTELY love him.

i don't hate person i just don't like how he broke nico's heart.

I love percy.. not like i-wanna-marry-you- kind but.. just in general. I know he lost his temper a lot in the HOO series, but guys, he went missing for 8 months, had to see his girlfriend go to a dangerous and fatal quest, and then fall into tartarus. It kinda made sense for temper loss... i mean at least he made it rlly far. to be honest, I would die the moment I go through all of that

What's wrong with Percy??! I think he's a great character! Why do you dislike him? I'm genuinely curious.
