Percy doesn’t seem like himself for the entirety of HOO. I miss him
i actually have a theory about why this is… i also kept wondering why it feels like a gulf has opened up between PJO and HOO (considering that HOO happens almost immediately after PJO), and it’s because it’s very alienating to go from spending 5 whole books in Percy’s head to being forced to observe from a distance as a third party. PJO is designed to read like a personal account, like Percy is directly telling you the story; it’s imbued with his personality and his voice. HOO, in contrast, just reads like a conventional dystopian narrative told from the third-person pov, which is inherently distancing. ofc there is a way to make it more intimate, but it’s necessarily detached because now you’re just a spectator, not a confidante. it doesn’t feel like you’re in on the action, just witnessing it from a safe distance. more than that, the voices in HOO aren’t sufficiently distinct from on another. we know how Percy sounds like from the previous series, and we even know how Annabeth sounds like, but their voices are kind of lost amidst the jumble of the rest. it’s kind of frustrating to go from basically being Percy to seeing him from the outside in all the time and feeling like we’re being held at arm’s length.
this is compounded by the fact that he’s like, depressed for all 5 books and we can’t know the details of how he really feels on the inside. so there’s that, too lol
