Of course, no one else in the theater had a clue and just looked at me like I was insane.  All the kids at my school are reading these, but I guess no one at the theater that day had read them.

It doesn't help that I never learned mythology well in school so I'm also generally forgetting who the characters are in the mythological world.  What did you think of it?  it was darker than I thought it would be in places.

Alla:

I am now excited too. As always I will try to remember to have lower expectations and hopefully I will enjoy it :-)


I really liked the last book, I was extremely satisfied with the twist that he did with the prophecy, however I was extremely unhappy with the death. I was pretty sure that the character who died will play one of the major roles at the ending, but I hoped and thought that he will survive.

Great series though in my opinion.
