User blog comment:IceFireWarden0/Asgard- Expectations For Rick's Norse Mythology Series/@comment-122.167.26.71-20130328061125/@comment-3146930-20130328104740

As far as Norse and Greek mythology go, there are very few stories that actually match each other meaning that any events in the Norse series that make reference to mythology will be vastly different from the time PJO and HoO make reference to mythology. As far as a teenager saving the world from a super-villain goes, if you are tired of it now then you will have a very disappointing life. There was a guy called Joseph Campbell who came up with the idea of monomyth (sometimes called The Hero's Journey), which is the idea that all stories are exactly the same and we are just retelling them differently. There will always be books about teenagers saving the world from bad guys and as we get older, we read books about adults saving the world from bad guys.
