Lorien Legacies

I just finished reading The Fall of Five. It's the last book in a really weird series called the Lorien Legacies that has come out so far. I now have a new book to add to my favorites list. I honestly thought that The Fall of Five wasn't as good as the others in the series, but I still liked it.

If I was Loric I'd like my legacies to be seeing in the dark, invisibility and anti gravity. And, judging by my usual luck, I would be number One and would die right away.

Which Mortal Instruments Race Are You? (Based on Myers Briggs)

NOTE! This chart is very inaccurate and should mostly be considered a joke. Don't be offended if you get demon or faerie as a result. To make you feel better, my own type is listed as a faerie.

Mundane: ENFP, INFP
Shadowhunter: ESTP, ISTP
Warlock: ENFJ, INFJ
Werewolf: ESFP, ISFP
Vampire: ENTP, INTP
Faerie: ENTJ, INTJ
Demon: ESTJ, ISTJ
Angel: ESFJ, ISFJ

Which God is Your Parent? (Based on Myers Briggs)

NOTE! This chart is very inaccurate and should mostly be considered a joke. It's meant to be funny and interesting. I usually fail at both those things so whatever.

Aphrodite: ESTP, ESFP
Athena: INTJ, INFJ

Allegiant

I finished Allegiant a few days ago. I'm not going to post any spoilers, because I really have nothing to say about the ending specifically. Instead, I'm going to post the link to a post on Veronica's blog that helped me understand the end:

About the End of Allegiant SPOILERS!


The point of books, I think, is to show us different ways of viewing the world. Harry Potter shows us that love is the greatest of magic. The Lord of the Rings show us that even the smallest person can change history. The Hunger Games shows us that there are some things that really are worth fighting for. We might not agree with the idea each book shows us. We might not like the ending of a story, or the beginning or the message that story tells us. But that book is just one way of seeing things, it's just one thought among many. When I read a book, I try to remember that it is only one way of seeing things. The only things in it that are true are the things I choose to take from it. I think that the Divergent trilogy is a story about choices and sacrifices and loss. But it is also about finding your place in the world and being yourself. I think it is a very beautiful story, and even though the ending is sad, it is a way of viewing the world that I choose to see.

Article About Neville Longbottom

This is a really cool article about Neville Longbottom. I agree with it completely.

Neville Longbottom is the Most Important Person in Harry Potter

Hi, I am a Wizard Shadowhunter Demigod

WARNING: Extreme nerdiness and fangirl stuff ahead. Proceed with caution.

I have recently been thinking about different races in books and I wonder whether it would be possible to mix different races from completely different books. For instance, is it possible to be both a wizard and a demigod? The answer, I believe, is yes. Assuming wizards and witches aren't actually demigods and are just unknowingly children of Hecate, it would be possible to be both a wizard and a demigod. How? Well, let's say that Zeus gets into a relationship with a pretty little witch in the United States and they have a kid. Is that kid a Demigod? Yes. His dad is Zeus. Is that kid a wizard? Probably, unless he's a squib. So it is possible to be both a wizard and a demigod.

What about mixing some other races? Lets say, demigod and Shadowhunter. Shadowhunter blood is dominant, but is it dominant over the blood of the gods? I highly doubt it. Assuming both the world of Percy Jackson and the world of the Mortal Instruments are real, angels would probably be considered gods. Since Shadowhunter's already have angel blood in them, technically they already are Demigods. But, okay, lets say that Shadowhunters are not Demigods. Is it still possible to be both? Well, lets say Zeus gets into another relationship, this time with a cute Shadowhunter. from Canada. They have a kid (a girl this time). This girl has Shadowhunter blood (obviously, because it's dominant) but she's also a Demigod because her dad is Zeus. The only requirement for being a Demigod is that you have one godly parent. So this little girl would be  both a Shadowhunter and a Demigod.

What about being a Shadowhunter and a Wizard? Lets say that a Shadowhunter and a Wizard meet and fall in love. Technically, a Wizard would be considered a Mundane, and so these two would not be allowed to get married unless the wizard ascends. But why shouldn't a wizard be able to ascend? They are technically Mundanes. So this wizard ascends and becomes a Shadowhunter. I see no reason that this wizard should loose his magical abilities. Unless, of course, wizards and witches are actually Warlocks. Both these races can do magic. Except wizards are obviously not warlocks because they can have children. So scratch that. Shadowhunter's seem to hate magic so maybe marrying witches and wizards would be illegal. But that, of course, does not mean that a wizard and a Shadowhunter could not fall in love and have a kid. Sometimes Shadowhunters in love break the law. So, yes, I believe it is possible to be both a Shadowhunter and a Wizard.

But is it possible to be all three? Lets say Zeus falls in love with a mortal again. (He does do that a lot, doesn't he?) This mortal just happens to be the child of a Shadowhunter and a Wizard who ascended. This woman that Zeus falls in love with is technically a Shadowhunter wizard. So Zeus and the Shadowhunter wizard have a kid. Shadowhunter blood is dominant so the kid is obviously a Shadowhunter, and the kid is also a Demigod because one of her parents is Zeus. But the kid is also probably a witch because magical blood seems to generally be dominant over non-magical blood. So it is possible to be a wizard, a Shadowhunter AND a demigod.

I could of course talk about other races. Are werewolves in Harry Potter the same as Werewolves in The Mortal Instruments? Are those werewolves the same as the ones mentioned in Percy Jackson? Are monsters and demons the same thing? Do they come from Tartarus or the Void or is the Void actually Tartarus? If angels are gods and monsters are demons, does that mean that Tyson is a Faerie? What about mermaids in Harry Potter and mermaids in The Mortal Instruments and Naiads in Percy Jackson? Are they all the same? Are they all considered "fair folk"? So many questions!

About the House of Hades and Blood of Olympus Predictions.

I read House of Hades a few weeks ago. I really enjoyed it. I was super excited to see Hazel get the spotlight in this book, and Frank's character was developed too. I absolutely adore the Leo Calypso romance. It's perfect. And poor Bob. I also love Nico's character development. I should have realized earlier that he was gay.

So, as the title of this blog post says, I have predictions for Blood of Olympus (that's the next book title, OMG). I'll begin by writing the survival chances for each of the characters:

Percy: Won't die. If he does I will hunt down Rick Riordan and shove him in a toilet. But, seriously, I highly doubt even Rick would kill off the main character of the first series.

Annabeth: Won't die. Percabeth forever. Plus, she's just too smart to die.

Piper: Most likely won't die. I've never been especially attached to Piper, so i wouldn't be super heart broken if she dies, but I doubt that she will. It seems kind of pointless to kill her. For her sake, I hope she plays a bigger role in Blood of Olympus. I know she saved the ship and all that in House of Hades, but that was mostly luck. I think she ought to have a bigger part to play. Why else would she be one of the seven?

Hazel: Probably won't die. I know she's already technically died, but Pluto/Hades doesn't seem at all inclined to send her back to the Underworld. Plus, with her new ability to manipulate the mist, I don't think it would be easy to kill her.

Frank: Might possibly die. He does have that fire proof bag now, but that alone worries me. It seems  anticlimactic to take away the great risk that has been hanging over his head for the entire series. Something will happen with that piece of fire wood, you can bet on it.

Jason: Might die, but I think it's 50/50. He's a very powerful demigod. But then again, there is the prophecy. See my thoughts on that below.

Leo: Has the highest chance of dying. See the prophecy below.

Nico: Probably won't die. Not until he admits to Percy that he's in love, at least.

Reyna: Probably won't die. She's most likely going to stop the demigod war, why would she die?

Octavian: Will hopefully die. But I unfortunately doubt it.


The Prophecy:

Seven Halfbloods shall answer the call:
This has already come true.

To storm or fire the world must fall:
I have a lot to say about this line. First of all, I agree with Piper that this line might refer to Leo and Jason.Technically, this could mean that both Leo and Jason get a chance to destroy Gaea for good, but only one of them succeeds. I also agree with Piper that the person who does not succeed will die. Who will that be? Well, lets see. Jason is a very powerful demigod. He can fly and control the winds. I think he has a good chance against Gaea. Leo, however, does not have such good chances. He is powerful too, but in the end, Jason has a better chance than he does. In this prediction, Leo would die and Jason would ultimately defeat Gaea, though of course it could be the other way around.
I have seen some people online saying that this line refers to the Greek and Roman camps. I doubt it. I believe that they will have to unite together against something in the last book. What that something will be, I don't know, but it will have an important part to play. What was the point of all that annoying stuff Hera did, or the huge quest to get the Athena Parthenos.
Here's another prediction, or rather, a thought. When Jason is talking to the wind god in House of Hades the god (I forget his name) says something like "When it comes time to choose between storm or fire, remember me." This would indicate that Jason has some decision to make that may ultimately decide whether he or Leo survives, or maybe it means something else entirely.
Here's another idea: What if the 'fire' refers to Frank. remember what I said about that stick of fire wood having a big role in the story? What if Frank sacrifices himself (with fire) to somehow destroy Gaea.This wouldn't explain the storm part, but maybe Frank sacrifices himself to save Jason when he is trying to defeat Gaea.

An oath to keep with a final breath:
Ooooh, what could this line possibly mean? It almost certainly indicates death, it probably tells that a certain person dies when keeping an oath. Who could that possibly be? Well, lets think, who made an oath in House of Hades? Remember Leo's promise as he left Calypso? He swore he would come back for her on the river Styx. That means he has to do it. He has to come back for her whether or not doing so would doom the world. This is another reason why I think that "To storm or fire" line means that Leo will die. I think that Leo will have a chance to defeat Gaea, but will choose to save Calypso instead, possibly dooming himself. "An oath to keep with a final breath." Be worried. Be very worried.
I doubt this line refers to Nico's promise to Percy. Or Bob's promise to Nico. I can't think of any other oaths that would make sense in this line.

And foes bear arms to the Doors of Death:
This has already come true. I think. Maybe it has some other role to play later on.

Other predictions:
There will be a final battle that somehow is directly against Gaea. Which of the seven demigods will fight it? Which of the seven demigods will be the one to ultimately save the world? Many people have said that Jason will be the one who ultimately defeats Gaea since he is "The main character of the series". But remember, there are seven main characters. All of them will have some part to play. Piper might play a big part, Jason and Leo will most likely make decisions that could either save or destroy lives. Percy and Annabeth have had their time to shine, but they will have important parts to play as well. Hazel's magic will come in handy again, and Frank may use his powers of war to help end the war against Gaea. Am I excited for Blood of Olympus? Well, is the Earth round? Are blueberries delicious? Is Umbridge evil? Duh, of course I am excited! Too bad time travel hasn't been invented yet. I have an entire year to wait.
