Re: Percy Jackson and the Olypians-The Titan's Curse

Dear Mr. Riordan,
I have taken this time to praise, ask and suggest a few things about your novel "Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The TItan's Curse". First of all, I would like to start off by saying how I truly enjoy the story line, concept and idea of the book. It is written about Greek mythology which I have always showed much interest in and has definitely captured my attention on how well the novel pieces together, part-by-part. Your humour and sarcastic jokes have made me crack up a lot because of your great writing and wording. I would like to ask why you chose Percy to be the son of Poseidon. Everyone knows Zeus as the king of the Gods and since Percy is the main character, do you think it would have been a better idea to make him the son of Zeus instead? Is there some purpose behind him as the son of Poseidon? Also, is it true in real life Greek mythology that "mist" exists or did you create the "mist" to fit into your tie-in of Greek mythology and reality in the book. Do demigods usually never have much contact with there parents too? This is just a suggestion, but I think that Bianca di Angelo should have been "alive" for longer. Since she is the daughter of Hades, one of the big three, I think there could have been some more details about her before she died. I wish her character was a bit more developed in a sense that we didn't know much about her anyways and she is gone just like that. I think it happened all to sudden, so just keep that in mind. Overall, this was definitely an amazing book and is at the top of my favourites. Please continue writing!
