Some less rageworthy/more squeeworthy details have been leaked about The Lost Hero. heyjessiex found this RR interview with Puffin Books where he gives some awesome character details and confirms some theories about Greek v. Roman. Beware if you click the link - there's a spoiler-tastic question re: Percy.

Shit. I think I saw the Percy thing.

NICO WILL ALWAYS BE MY FAVE.
But seeing as he's not in this book I'm thinking Leo will very rapidly be taking second place.

I really want to see how everyone is so "different" due to the change in point of view, especially since after reading this I get the feeling that Jason has a rather negative view of Percy.

AND WTF PERCY'S NOT IN IT EITHER?! MY REUNION SCENE, I WANT IT. Yeah, I accidentally read the question before I realized it was the one you told me not too. /fail observation. At least we know they'll be talking about him, though.... =/

So the Greeks are like the Romans' embarrassing second cousins? lol.

Probably even more so 'cause they're older, haha.

I'm excited though; I want to meet more gods and new pantheons :D TUESDAY CANNOT GET HERE FAST ENOUGH.

And Annabeth. I'm kind of interested in seeing Percy from a different POV but at the same time, I don't want my mental image of Percy to be disrupted. From the way that reviewer worded it, it sounds like Jason thinks Percy's a dick. WHICH IS UNCOOL, JASON, UNCOOL.

That's what I got out of it, too.
Lord, even our expectations about the Jason + Percy dynamic have been completely jossed |: I use that word too much....

As for Annabeth, pretty sure he just sees her as freaking insane, if the preview chapters are anything to go by.

It'll be interesting though to see the variance; shed a different light on everyone. And people in my writing class say point of view isn't important, tsch.

Yeah, not sure how I feel about these things either. Although...does Jason just know Percy from other people's stories of him? That doesn't seem like a lot to go on. As for Annabeth...well, let's be honest--she IS freaking insane. Even Percy thinks that she's freaking insane, and he loves her. I just hope she doesn't come off as cold and heartless.

I JUST REALIZED THE PERCY THING.

I started screaming at the computer and bawling.

Again.

SOMEDAY.

-takes deep breaths-

On the other hand, someone just came up with a theory that Percy is Nico's sex slave. I don't know what to think.

I think I am going to love Piper.

Me too. She sounds so great.

One day I'm going to learn to ignore your spoilery posts. But not today. :)

Piper is going to be my favorite here I can already tell. I have such a soft spot for girls like her. AND she's multi-racial which just makes me want to hug her.

SOOOO EXCITED.

Piper's been my favorite since reading the excerpt.
