TKC at least has crossovers and whatnot, but my point still stands...However if there was another series, I would like to see how the Celtic or Shinto pantheons were handled and I'm disappointed that the PJO-verse is going out with another series on the Greeks. Believe it or not, I strongly agree. Don't get me wrong, I love the Greeks as much as the next person but I fell in love with the Norse for several reasons such as the Norse Gods treating heroes better than the Greeks (TJ's father gave him a weapon, rather than not doing a thing for his kid. Not to discredit certain Greek Gods, but the Norse at least seem a bit better in this regard.) and Odin rewarded Magnus and Company happily unlike Zeus who had to swallow his pride twice, and is punishing Apollo because of a prophecy that was around for a while since the Romans had it.

As much as I love Rick, and his series I felt like MCGA should have been a five book series because there are many pacing issues in the SoS, since there's even less time to tell the epic story of Magnus's journey and thus it comes off as much more shallow. I agree strongly, yet again. Magnus Chase should have been five books, and Trials of Apollo should have been a trilogy. I don't care if the other arcs were five books. Things don't have to remain the same.

Exactly, I don't understand why introducing new pantheons if they get the shorter series and the Geeeks keep getting more added to them...This is not only a problem with Rick, but it also kinda extends to the fandom who rarely shower the others with love (To be fair, the Greeks had two series *I consider HoO more Greek than Roman* and I can see why more people are attached, but still.) and only mentions them if there a Versus Match with Percy fighting either Magnus or Carter.

Personally if I were Rick, MCGA would have been a five book series deal and less exposition shoved into one book, because as much as I love the SoS there was too much exposition and details shoved down the readers throat to the point where it gets a little hard to breathe, compared to the original Percy Series.
