~Weekly debate #2~
-----------------------------
In the book series Heroes of Olympus, are Leo and Calypso meant for each other or does Leo deserve someone better? Vice versa?


message 4: by (new)

 (HP marathon) I haven't read the series yet.


sophia_thesecond | 18 comments he deserves better


kai ୨♡୧  | 95 comments leo definitely deserves someone better and honestly, calypso too, imo
and i did not like the fact that he had to end up with a romantic partner to feel his worth.


kai ୨♡୧  | 95 comments age gap was also a huge ick

it's all just a fling for them. not a forever kinda thingy

Taffy :) | 55 comments He deserves better

I feel like they're more compatible as friends and hnstly they need to work out their own issues about self-worth before getting into a relationship w/ anyone- not EVERY great character has to be in a relationship

steph reads (stephreads0617) I never finished Percy Jackson 😭 only got to the third book then gave up!


message 14: by Taffy :) (new)

Taffy :) | 55 comments well maybe the show will inspire you to keep reading


message 15: by steph reads (new)

steph reads (stephreads0617) I think I just don’t rlly like middle grade, but I might try the show

omg you have to keep reading!!!

and tbh it's been so long I don't even remember anything other than thinking it was cute enough 😂

yeahh I also think getting into pjo is kind of an age thing... if you start it at the right time you can stick with it and re-read as many times as you want


message 18: by steph reads (new)

steph reads (stephreads0617) that’s probably true, cause I didn’t read it till like a few months ago and it does feel REALLY young, I wish I read it when I was younger, cause I feel like I might have liked it 🙁

message 20: by kai ୨♡� (new)

kai ୨♡୧  | 95 comments i was 20 when i started 👁️👁️

i think i was like eight ><


message 22: by steph reads (new)

steph reads (stephreads0617) eight seems like the age I would prob like it, cause i read acotar when I was 13 😭


⋆˚࿔kiki˚⋆ {barely active} | 203 comments Mod

Just had to ask, but one, are you okay? and two, how did you sneak it past your parents? Please help me if you have any tips


message 25: by Mila_13 (new)

Mila_13 | 41 comments For the debate : I don’t think they were both meant for each other that’s it. Also Leo doesn’t need a romantic partner to have a confidence and it was sad to see.


Sophie [Time for testing] (hiatus) Foster | 239 comments i don't remember any of this.... def due for a re-read


message 27: by dhvani (new)

dhvani (dhvanisbookshelf) | 11 comments I think Leo was too immature for a relationship and didn't understand boundaries. Calypso also got annoyed very quickly. In TOA I really didn't feel like they should be together.


message 28: by Maude (new)

Maude   R. | 3 comments honestly I thought it was good/cute at first but as I get deeper into TOA i feel like they really need to work out some personal stuff before going into a relationship. Leo needs to learn self-worth and also kind of mature a bit, and Calypso needs to have patience (and a bit self-worth as well) and adapt to being a human in a long relationship.

also yeahhh the age gap plus the fact that Calypso has basically hooked up with every other boy that ended up on her island.


message 29: by Maude (new)

Maude   R. | 3 comments but not a horrible ship in general I wouldn't hate you if you shipped it


message 30: by Hasa (new)

Hasa | 75 comments when I started reading the lost Hero i kind of hated it in the beginning.but the first character i liked was Leo i was kinda sad when I heard he was going to end up with Calypso I do like Calypso, she is really sweet but she is kinda of a player cuz she falls in love with every dude who end up in the island and she tries to stop them from reaching there destiny . i wish he would end up with someone else who truly likes him for his personality like (Hazel did but frazel is better)
Rachel or someone maybe even Reyna


message 31: by Hasa (new)

Hasa | 75 comments but the age gap is kinda of not a thing when you are in that island, you don't age
