First of all: the gods really need a spanking on there behinds! They are like spoiled little childeren having a tantrum, for me Rick didn't grasped the essence of the gods.
I have been growing up with the gods from Xena the Warrior Princess, so I have a total different image in my head of Ares, who is played by Kevin Smith (bless his soul), and Hades. In the Lightingthief I didn't feel the danger from the gods.
I liked the story overall, with a couple of issues, and I am definitely going continue with the serie after I buy the ten books. Maybe I will learn something new about the gods in the Sea of Monsters. I hope that the goddesses coming in that one, like: Selena, Artemis and Persephone.
