Wasn't I already? There's always something you don't like about something you like.

You think I haven't noticed?

So yeah, I finished the second series. What next - Magnus Chase or Kane Chronicles?

It doesn't really matter, but Kane Chronicles is finished, so I'd go with that.

"Understood." Will looked at Nico. "Will you be my buddy?"
"You're a dork," Nico announced.

So what do you guys think of the cover and excerpt of The Hidden Oracle (The first Trials of Apollo book)?

Here's the cover

Or at least that's the American cover.
The excerpt can be found here:

The cover's decent, I like it.

And the excerpt! It's hilarious. It's made me even more excited!

I was really mad when I saw that.

Anyone want to see the horrible English covers for the Riordan books?

PJO:

HoO:

KC:

MC (not quite as bad):

The Hidden Oracle:


The HoO ones are the worst. I just really want to know what was going through the publisher's heads when they decided to change the absolutely fantastic covers that you guys have for these books. Why does the British publishing industry hate art? I guarantee there'd be a lot more sales if we had books with the covers from America.

It seems almost like the covers were designed to advertise themselves.

Oh dear God. And I thought our new covers were bad.

^^^ That was literally was running through my head on repeat. (Though in all honesty, I kinda like the BoO one.)
