This episode was absolutely brilliant! Watching so many of my favourite characters being introduced into this has blown my mind, and since it would probably take me forever to describe just what I love about each of them, I'm gonna hit the highlights.
Luke...*cue the squealing* What else can I say?! I ABSOLUTELY ADORE HIM ALREADY!!! He's been perfectly developed as the cool older guy, who every admired and instantly likes because he's so popular and yet he still took the time to help and stay with Percy, developing the CUTEST older brother relationship. I feel like that going to be really useful in at the end of the series, because just like the book, his...let's just call it "big plot twist," will have much more of an effect on the watchers😁😁
Annabeth: I see what Rick Riordan meant about Leah Sava Jeffries being perfect for Annabeth. Straight from the start she's the scary smart, super dangerous girl. I did notice how Annabeth was much more mysterious in the show, but that works well too, because it makes her someone who everyone-especially Percy is always wondering about, and who everyone respects and fears a little. I also love that they added diversity to the show-at the end of the day the looks don't matter as long as the actor plays out our favourite charecter term properly-and Leah's acing it.
Clarrisse and Dionysus: I know this is getting a little bit long, but I cant end this review without mentioning Clarrisse's acting!! She's SO convincing-playing the bully and that scream in the second episode?! It was so rawwww! Huge respect-she's such a great actor. And of course we love Dionysus, with his ever so famous line PETER JOHNSON IS HERE🤣🤣🤣 exactly how I imagined in the books.
The setting for Camp half-blood was awesome, and again exactly like I imagined it with the satyrs and demigods. So far I'm loving this series and already counting down days until the next one:)))) thanks for bringing such a special book series for me, to life!
