When a series is written, Character Growth should be paid a lot of attention to; and not just the chronological age, even maturity and lessons learnt must crawl into the character.Rachna Chhabriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16900999965919504282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-65441666197173922932011-11-02T09:01:46.741-07:002011-11-02T09:01:46.741-07:00Hmm, my wife really liked these books, but I haven...Hmm, my wife really liked these books, but I haven't gotten into them myself.

We both liked them, but there was something a bit off about them. The story was good, the humor was there, as well as action and some romance.<br /><br />So to answer your question if there was anything we had learned from Rick Riordan is something that he didn't do in our opinion. For us, Percy didn't grow as a person. Fart jokes from book one were still there in book five. In other words he was the same. So having your characters grow is what Rick taught us.SBJoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10457239074744509487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-38034488282656354092011-11-01T07:57:40.939-07:002011-11-01T07:57:40.939-07:00I have never heard of him so thank you for sharing...I have never heard of him so thank you for sharing about his writing style and him.
