"I hope Nico's back in Heroes of Olympus" JOEL YOU ARENT READY FOR THE INCREDIBLE NICO CONTENT IN HEROES OF OLYMPUS
YESSSSS OMG
+ TOA!!! Solangeloooo 😭😭
I AM SO EXCITED
yess
@@fictionalfates you are gonna LOVE it
NOW IM EXCITED TOO
It's really nice to see someone else reading Percy Jackson for the first time who's like older than the target audience. It always felt like I missed out on it as a child but I love it as a teenager lol❤️💃💃
HONESTLY A MOOD! I’m so glad I’m reading them now but also, I know how amazing they would’ve been for me as a kid
Ooh same I read it when I was 18/19(aka this year) and I wish I had read it sooner
@@fictionalfates yes thanks for the reply! ❤️❤️
@@shaunaXX yes I sometimes wish I read it sooner. But I'm kinda childish so I'm able to read it now.glsd I'm not the only one who read them late 💃💃💃
omg same
Yes, Nico is back in the Heroes of Olympus - not only that, but I'm 100% sure you're going to stan him even more ;)
OMG YES
That scene in House of Hades, you know the one… oh boy
@@seguaye OH YEAH THAT-
@@seguaye NOO DONT REMIND ME OF MY DEEP HATRED FOR EROS
@@saikiscoffeejelly*cupid 😅
Rick Riordan was a middle school teacher for years upon years and he said that oftentimes the actions of his young characters are based on real students he had when he was a teacher which is why his depiction of children/young people are so authentic
That's quite adorable.
also many of the characters were based/named after real people in his class (honorary mention to his son for inspiring Percy)
like nico,beckendorf,Miranda,etc
The pure and funny way that Joel reacted to all the books reminds me of Grover and now I can't unsee it 🤣
LMAO AKDKSKD
Hahaa I was literally just thinking that
Omg! Yes!
I just randomly start thinking about Nico going into McDonald’s on his own to buy a happy meal, to give to spirits of the dead, and boy does it crack me up.
and also makes you sad
McDonalds Employee: Hi kid, what would you like to order?
Nico: Give me all your happy meals.
i'm so glad you loved this!!!
the origin of percy jackson was from when rick riordan ran out of bedtime stories to tell his son haley. he made up percy jackson as a demigod with adhd, because his son also had it, to show him that it doesn't stop anyone from doing so many things!! it's quite sweet and wholesome
omg i love that sm 🥺
@@fictionalfates they also include more people of color such as a Cherokee and Chinese Canadian main character. A few Hispanic characters. Some lgbtqia people/ relationships. Also a Muslim character, asexual character, and a whole book that takes place during Ramadan. SO MUCH REPRESENTATION
@@batzdoartz who is the asexual character?
@@ainoakileia Reyna
@@charitychapman3181 Reyna, of course, that makes sense😊
I have this tradition of re-reading percy jackson every year during the summer but I think I will start the great re-read a bit earlier this year because of this video. Joel, welcome to camp half-blood!
Ahh thank you so much!! Also, I wouldn't blame you if you started earlier ahah
I reread the series because I forgot everything that happened and now I want to reread it again.
Omd I do the same thing! Except this year I started early cos I was excited about the casting announcement lol
i do this too!!!🥺
I do this every summer to!!! It's just like the perfect thing to get you into the summer time vibe.
it's basically a rite of passage for every bisexual to be obsessed with this series and i loved every minute
I felt this in the depths of my soul 😭
No because that makes so much sense
Wow this opened my 3rd eye
THIS
YES!!!
Maybe the characters feel like real children because Rick Riordan said that he based his characters off real kids in his classes (he used to be a teacher), so he knows kids.
You can see the moment the ending of book one hits you... that's hilarious
LMAO TRUE
The way that Joel said “Nico di F**KING Angelo” I FELT THAT 💀
Deep breath because Percy Jackson is literally my favorite series of all time
BISEXUALS CLAIM NICO AS THEIR SON !! YES !! also welcome back bestie 🥰
YESSSSSSS HE IS MY CHILD!!!
@@fictionalfates AND WHEN YOU READ THE HOUSE OF HADES AND BAWL YOUR EYES OUT BECAUSE OF HIM???? THEN WHAT
@@srideepta OH NO DON’T DO THIS TO ME BESTIE AKDJAJSJS
omg hi fellow bi and nico stan here!!!
@@srideepta I AM NOW SO VERY AFRAID OF THIS BOOK
Personally i immediately jump into the HOO series after PJO and that is no problems! But I just dont want you to miss out on The Kanes books either! I love those books and I feels like it tend to get ignore a lot by th overall fandom
I feel that! I'll see how I feel in the next few days 👀
omg yes, the kane chronicles deserve more hype
@@mxphxsto8334 fr, i read them before pjo bc i couldn’t find the pjo books anywhere and the kane chronickes looked cool. i remember it being funnier than pjo because that was it’s purpose, but also being a lot more intense. idk gonna reread it soon
@@arandomxinyanmain4837 same, tkc was the first Riordan series I've read and i just finished a pjo reread, now I'm trying to get through the lost hero :)
@@mxphxsto8334 i managed to finish hoo and the first book of toa, hopefully i’ll get them for my birthday because i really want to continue them 💀
If you haven't already, the lighting thief musical is a bop.
I WAS ABOUT TO COMMENT THIS lightning theif musical supremacy☺️
The music in it is the best and the show itself is amazing.
Yessss
I DIDNT WANNA BE A HALF BLOOD
@@batzdoartz I DIDN’T ASK TO BE A HERO SEEKING PRAISE
Why did I understand every single facial expression you made??? LOVED this video, Joel!
skdkskdk i’m glad that you could relate! 😂
@@fictionalfates the parts that hurt is when I knew u just read a death 😞
nico di angelo literally means the world to me joel i’m so glad you are giving him the appreciation he deserves
This definitely just inspired me to reread the percy jackson series and finally read the heroes of olympus
YES!
HoO is even better than the PJO series, definitely read it!
I started reading the heroes of olympus last year and I only have the last one left to go THEYRE SOO GOOD I highly recommend
SO TRUE Sally Jackson best mom in existence
I have adhd, long blonde hair, wear a bright orange shirt for work, am terrified of spiders, am known by all my friends for being "the smart one" basically hey, I'm Annabeth lmao
Might wanna ask your dad where you came from...
I swear Rick Riordan could write any genre and it would be one of the best things you’ve ever read
I’m so excited for Joel to meet Leo in Heroes of Olympus 😌👏🏻
I'm going to reread this series again after like 10 years. THANK YOU BESTIE 😚😊
omg i love this for you 🥺
The adorable “I’m so sorry for slapping you”, you are now my favorite Person.
I’m reading through Percy Jackson for the first time as well! My goal is to read all of Rick’s book this summer.
That’s an awesome goal, good luck!
Ahh, good luck to you!!!
Wow that’s a big goal there are so many! Good luck!!
uh that means 21 novels including extras and so like at least 30 books
@@abidizzne892 did I mention I’m also trying to read all of Cassie Clare as well? 😅 a busy summer
Omggg this makes me want to reread Percy Jackson so bad!!! NICO DI ANGELO SUPREMACY 💀👑
Jump into Heroes of Olympus! So happy you enjoyed this 💕 Your reactions 👌👌👌👌
heheh thank you 🥺🥺
i'm so excited over this video you have no idea :')) these books were my gateway to literature and i have read them 9 years ago and still love them so so much 🥺 so glad you decided to read it
omg i love that for you!!
A) I was just thinking (literally this morning) how I never read these as a kid but want to as an adult and didn’t know if that would be a weird thing to do - this video is PERFECT for me
B) HAPPY PRIDE MONTH FRIENDS ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Honestly, pick them up now! You won't be disappointed, hopefully ahaha
I started rereading the Heroes of Olympus series in my exams few weeks ago (I gratuated!!) because I needed comfort and now I'm at the book in which Nico joins the club and he is still a baby. I can tell you that.
Me, sitting here, watching Joel read the first book and talking about how Rick writes kids super well: RIGHT? He wrote the book for his son who has ADHD and dyslexia which is just so sweet
Also catch me rereading this series rn 😅
I’M SO HAPPY YOU LOVED THE BOOKS!! a lot of the things u brought up made me very emotional :’) i’d personally recommend reading HOO before TKC but it doesn’t really matter! though nico shows up in HOO so if you want to see more of him… 😎
omg omg omg 🥺 i'm so excited to continue on with the series, i think it's gonna be so cool!
oh my god!!!! welcome to camp half-blood joel!!!
hehehe thank you for the warm welcome!! let’s do it!
I didn't grow up with these books, but I'm reading them now and I'm seventeen years old. Don't get why it says that it's for a very young audience, when I think most people would find it enjoyable.
You are definitely a son of Apollo! Artemis doesn't even have children.
yess, true but i think the text actually says that you are a hunter of artemis not actually a child of artemis but he didn't read it (but I cringe every time when someone says they're are a child of artemis)
@@sophiemira1196 ya it says hunter of Artemis . Not child
@@sophiemira1196 But he can't be a hunter, they're women ony
@@drakemerwin1015 there have been only a few males join the hunters
@@shayharvey-shaw7146like that one titan who almost killed Reynas sister, I forgot his name.
Im way too late to this video but yeah, when you said the writing was easily accessible to everybody towards the end you were so right. I have difficulty with reading and even as a kid only reading childrens books, i had a way easier time understanding percy jackson compared to other ‘easy’ kids stuff. It just made more sense to me and flowed in a way other books didn’t. I’m grateful it was that way because it made me really accept myself and my situation while reading about percy’s struggles
Over a decade in the fandom now yet still everytime I hear someone new getting into riordanverse and loving it, I just feel so happy and fulfilled
So glad you loved it. Was my favorite growing up. Nico is precious. You are going to love the Nico Di Angelo developments in later books.
I love it whenever someone says they'd start reading Percy Jackson series. That series was such a huge comfort for me in my childhood so I hope other people also enjoy this story and find joy in it. And yes NICO INDEED IS THE BEST.
Fun fact: I actually cried when Luke sacrificed himself and then he asked Annabeth if she loved him… my parents were concerned and confused. Honestly it’s one of my favorite scenes of the book.
Fr. I was crying in class😻😻😻
fun fact; this needs a spoiler alert
help he's such a creep😭
@@pau7886 FR I WAS LIKE "what the fawk"
i'm also late into the percy jackson fandom soo excited for your thoughts!! ✨
eeee better late than never ;)
I feel like Rick Riordan writes kids so well because he teaches (or at least taught, idk if he still does) middle schoolers. You get a good feel for what kids are like when you spend a significant amount of time with them.
Watching this video is so pure! You and Percy Jackson are icons (;
I love that everyone who reads Percy Jackson eventually just adopts nico as their child (Also this is making me want to reread them because I love them so much and it’s been a while since I first read them)
This was the series that made me fall in love with reading. I'm so glad to see you reading it!
I clicked the moment I saw “Nico di Angelo” in the thumbnail >v< I really love the character and felt quite sad that he didn’t have as much room to show up as I wished
You know exactly when he reached the “dam” part and also when he reached the “I can see the stars m’lady” super funny and super sad moments omg😭
I took it and I got Poseidon
@@JeffGregoire ??
This is the content that I was craving so bad ♥️♥️
IM GLAD! 🥺
@@fictionalfates this video was SO SO GOOD. I advise you pick up the lost hero series (I think that's the name of it? 🤣)
I love the expression while reading the book😂. So real
Love that he enjoyed the series but I can’t get over the “son of Artemis” comments 😭😭😭
skdkskdkkx i retook the test and got apollo!!
I am so glad you enjoyed this series! Nico is amazing and we definetly stan Sally. Also, Apollo with Tik Tok...yes. Just yes! I can definetly see you as a child of Apollo. Welcome to fandom!😁
You are reading every book in one single sitting? Damn I could ever 😱
pjo has been my comfort read since i was twelve 🥰
TWINZY I literally just started binging this series and reading it for the first time
omg yes!! i hope you enjoy it as much as i did!
27:01
I had actually gotten a hunter of artemis first but then i took it multiple times again and i got apollo!
And...
*Welcome to our amazhang fandom*
Also
*Dam*
I am so excited to see how you react to the heroes of the olympus series, considering that it has much more representation and diversity in it's characters! Loved this video, it made me want to re-read the entire series again, so fun to see you react so positive to the books!
Definitely read the short stories before the Heroes of Olympus! One of them (in the Demigod Files) may or may not come up again in a completely unexpected way. 👀
(I didn’t read any beforehand and was stuck there thinking that I must have forgotten something. I still haven’t read all the short stories because I literally don’t know where to find them all, but that lack of cohesive compilation is another story.)
YES BESTIE NICO SUPREMACY!! He gets so much better in each series, so buckle up. I love this series so much, and I'm so happy you love it, too!
omg i'm excited
I feel so bad when you started reading the Titan’s Curse but at the same time I was filled with glee knowing exactly what happened to make you so shocked.
(It DEVASTATED me as a kid 😭)
BESTIE THIS IS THE ORDER YOU SHOULD READ THE SERIES:
- Percy Jackson (obviously lol)
- Heroes of Olympus
- Trials of Apollo
- Magnus Chase
- Kane Chronicles
also FYI Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus and Trials of Apollo are what we call the 'Camp Half-Blood Chronicles' because they're all (mostly) Greek mythology
hope this helped bestie :)
it's such a joy seeing u enjoy reading one of my most favorite series 😭 nico is AMAZING in heroes of olympus i love him sm!!
i'm so so excited to read about him in heroes of olympus ahhh
At some point I remember watching him read the part where annabeth fell off the cliff in titans curse and I was like "wait till you read mark of athena"
Me watching your face in the reading clips : Oh he’s at that part . Also great video . I love your vlogs they feel so homey . Like I should be chilling and reading right alone with you .
sdljfkhdfljkf i'm so glad you could tell which moments i was reading LOL and i'm so happy you get that feel from my vlogs 🥺
@@fictionalfates I feel that way about your vibe in general . Like we should be friends and hang out . Reading and exploring towns and drinking copious amounts of matcha ( I have no clue how to make it ) and stuff .
Stuff like movies and video games .
my godly parent is aphrodite
also thinking how more cinematic the last olympian is with a great playlist it is like watching a movie in your head
Hugging the book when you finish it... that right there is the Riordanverse experience 🥺🥰
Even better, throwing it
And then picking it up and hugging it
I only recently discovered the Percy Jackson books as well and I've become such a huge fan! Great to see you enjoyed them too! =)
omg honestly i love this for us!
Thrilled to have been introduced to you on "The Newewst Olympian", I've been looking for a new book series to get into and can't wait to binge your videos to see which one I should dive into first.
Ok you’ve convinced me. Next pay check I’m buying the Percy Jackson series and reading them
YESSSS
@@fictionalfates I’ve bought the books Joel. I’ll start them in a few days when I don’t have work or college courses
@@lindsey9153 have you started them? If yes how do you feel about them?
@@Emi-ch7hl I just finished the first book and I like it but I do feel like I’d like it more if I read it when I was younger
This makes me so happy and i don't know why
Glad you finally read a dam Percy Jackson book 😉
I DID
@@fictionalfates HJNDSGSINSJSYSSJ you replied?! 😭🤩😂😂
Also, welcome to the fandom 😉
Oooo I should say too - a recently discovered FAVOURITE thing that you MUST check out (after you’ve read the books 😅) - The Lightning Thief Musical! It’s AHmazing 🤩 An actually good adaptation 😂😅
"Nico Di Angelo supremacy, and he is now my child." OMG LOLLLL Yes Neeks is just....perfection. And also my half brother UwU *me being a hades kid just loving this* HOW HAVE I ONLY JUST SEEN THIS THOUGH-?! OMG-~SALLY JACKSON~ BUT THE CROSSOVERS THAT COME IN LATER ON. ALSO-as a half blood who's been a fan of these books for a while and as a child of the ~big three~ I'd like to welcome you to camp half blood where we climb lava walls for fun! :))) It's great. Pfft. Hope you don't get too stuck in the books though cuz once you do there's no going back,
I love how expressive your facial reactions are as you’re reading 😂 I usually just skip through b role footage but you’re just too relatable
Yes!! This is what I needed on my Friday. Loved this video
I live Percy Jackson and read if for the first time last year! ❤️❤️❤️

ahhh i hope you enjoyed!
im so glad you love the books too! pjo is always the books i reread to get out of a reading slump ever since i was twelve
OMG FINALLY! I'm sooo glad you read this series
i don’t know if you like musicals, but there’s one for the lightning thief that’s pretty good and definitely better than the movie! i would recommend giving it a listen because it’s a lot of fun and it’s obvious everyone who worked on it was just having a good time
I have started rereading the series so this vid is perfect!! Your reactions while reading is just ✨same✨👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
First of all I wanted to say how amazing it is to see u so involved with the book to the point where he’s laughing and smiling along and ur smile makes me want to smile too

I love how you talk and seem so genuinely excited and happy about the books. Also you don't sound annoying I love your voiceee 😍💖
THIS IS PERFECT TIMING I JUST READ THIS SERIES FOR THE FIRST TIME
I literally went ahhhh🥰 this is one of my fave series’s
I am just now seeing your videos after watching the first two episodes of the PJ series and wanting more content of the series again. I just gotta say that I love your book diary kind of videos, they bring me so much joy and relaxation. It's like a friend is just telling me about their latest book :)
