Olympus (TV Series 2015– ) cast and crew credits, including actors, actresses, directors, writers and more.
All content belongs to owners. Nothing belongs to me. Some of the dream cast actors aren't the ones I had in mind but the actors I chose were the closest to what I had in mind. I wish I could re-do Leo and possibly Piper. Also, for Percy and Annabeth, I think they are good portrayals of them in terms of appearances. They would've been good if they started the movie earlier and go on from there. Their ages are off for the Lightning Thief.
For the Heroes of Olympus, their ages are pretty matching so that is my reason for them.

Composition and marketing After realizing how many Greek and Roman myths he had left untouched as well the immense success of the original series, Riordan began writing a second series, using inspiration for his storyline from experiences that he and his children had while playing video and role-playing games such as.
After creating the storyline, Riordan created three new main characters—Jason, Piper, and Leo—but continued to use the previous main characters such as and as secondary characters. Unlike the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series which uses first-person narration solely from Percy's point of view, the second series is told in third-person, with the point of view alternating between various main characters. In The Lost Hero, those characters are Jason, Piper, and Leo.
Although initially uncertain how fans would react, Riordan later found that they enjoyed the new format, as it allowed them to learn more about each character. The novel begins several months after the events of, which allowed continuity with the first series, so previous characters could be included and readers would not be confused. Riordan says that 'it was my way of letting them revisit that world in a fresh twist, but also to catch up with Percy and Annabeth and the rest of the gang from the first series'.
He also decided to include the Roman gods after many readers requested that Riordan write a new series on Roman gods, who are the Roman equivalent of the Greek gods, with some minor changes in personality. He pondered on how the Roman aspect of the gods would be after moving from Greece to Rome to America. After a while, 'playing with that idea gave me the idea for the new series'.

The book also received a positive review from, which read, 'If anyone was afraid that Riordan couldn’t top his Percy Jackson series—they can quit worrying. This new series, even though in the same genre as the Percy Jackson group, has fresh ideas, more mystery and magic and keeps the reader engrossed from start to finish.' Few reviewers criticized certain aspects of the novel.
Vicky Smith of, for example, wrote that there are 'far too many pages of stretched-out action, telling not showing and awkward dialogue' while believing that the novel would be enjoyed by 'die-hard fans'. She positively noted that the 'Greek-vs.-Roman tension tantalizes' and that 'incidental details that bring the gods into the story often shine.' Lauren Berkes of appreciated the novel, writing, 'Along the way, the novel has a lot of action, a bit of magic, a freaky security system and a metal dragon' but recommended that readers read the predecessor series first as 'it will help you to understand a lot of the concepts in The Lost Hero.'
Others were appreciative of the book as an excellent sequel to Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Anita Burkam of wrote in her review, 'Riordan extends the franchise in a logical direction while maximizing the elements that made the first series so popular: irreverent heroes, plenty of tension-filled moments fighting monsters, and authentic classical mythology mixed in with modern life.' Wheadon of Common Sense Media rated it 4/5 and opined, 'Percy Jackson series spin-off is almost as delightful' and observes, 'The story set-up isn't terribly smooth, and this is a denser read than the first few Percy Jackson books, but once the action heats up, that's easily forgotten.'
Comments, 'The tale is longer than the Percy Jackson originals and can drag a bit at times, but fans hungry for further adventures in Riordan's modernized mythological realm will be well satisfied.' Other elements of the novel were also well-received. Wrote that 'the backstory of a master plan to unseat the gods is complex but is doled out in manageable bits with a general air of foreboding', while also appreciating 'flashes of humor that lighten the mood at times'. They conclude, 'with appealing new characters within a familiar framework, this spin-off will satisfy the demand for more.' Appreciated the book for its knowledge, writing, 'I always learn something new whenever I read these books, and it certainly helps that I laugh along the way' and also notes, 'this time, they cross over to Roman mythology, and the sometimes-blurred lines between the two cultures are examined in closer detail.' Wrote that 'Riordan excels at clever plot devices and at creating an urgent sense of cliff-hanging danger' and observed, 'the young heroes deal with issues familiar to teens today.'
