Okay but the one thing that kept cycling through my head while I was reading TSATS and.. whatever the name for the new slice of life highschool Percy Jackson book is that they both read like fanfictions. Like Rick was trying too hard to emulate the vibes his older books had, which makes sense ig. I couldn't finish either book because of that and I'm still somewhat in the age range that Rick writes for. I couldn't have aged up mentally THAT fast.

The new ones act as a spin off, its more humourous and a bit laid off. I don't think they are supposed to match the old ones. It's cool that they didn't give them major stakes for once, it's just meant to be for fun.

I was sixteen when I first read the Secret History - a pretentious kid living in a London boarding school who was too haughty to admit how lonely she was. I was the only one in the whole school taking Latin classes (this was early/mid 2010s and dead languages were already very much out of fashion) and I say Tartt's novel altered a fundamental part of my soul back then: it was more than an event, felt greater than any person I've ever liked or even met in my life. The appeal of the story, to me at least, was the flight from what my younger, pretentious self used to call 'the evil of banality' - I saw the modern world as an ugly, vapid thing and the descriptions of the students in the novel being nonchalant aliens to their own world, existing on a plane of alternative reality through their cold, magnificent minds drenched with that strange, distant breath of the ancients fascinated me. Just like you wanting to be like Rory (or other characters in the Gilmore Girls) I wanted to be one of them. So I've read Classics in university, been staying in the same postgrad school, and currently am procrastinating from preparing Phaedo/Meno supervisions for the first-years whom I need to teach tomorrow. Needless to say, I've been burnt-out and jaded by the academia after all those years. I came across your video by chance and you remind me of the time when I first read the novel, when I too was a wide-eyed fresher, eager for sense of belonging and intellectual excellence....I wish you the best of luck for your new chapter in college, and let me second someone else who suggested Franny and Zooey for you. Ppl usually praise 'Franny' part and don't have the patience for 'Zooey', but I do think Zooey is what keeps Franny grounded, what completes and elevates the whole work. It is a heartbreaking piece, in and of itself. Persevere till the end of Zooey, if you ever decide to read it :)

Thank you so much for this masterpiece of a comment; I am so glad that you stumbled across my video! I love seeing how much of an effect a book can have on a person, and it looks like The Secret History affected you to an incredible extent, even if it was reinforcing ideas you'd already started to have. It is so cool that the course of your life was so determined by this book, and judging from how academic and well-written your comment is, you've definitely kept up with that trajectory! Franny and Zooey is absolutely on my TBR now, and I am absolutely making a video on it, and 'll make sure I stick around for both parts, too. Thanks again for taking the time to write such an eloquent comment for my silly little KZbin video; this is definitely going in my comments hall of fame. Good luck in postgrad!
