Cobalt to the Camp Half-Blood Chronicles: Rick Riordan decided to write the Heroes of Olympus books after the Percy Jackson. Many older readers never read the Heroes of Olympus books, however a newer generation has. How does having these new characters and readers impact the original Percy Jackson fandom?

These new characters have given us a wider perspective on Greek mythology and introduces us to the Roman mythology which are both similar to each other. They have also given us a continuation of what’s happened at Camp Half Blood since we last saw them together rejoicing over their victories.

Hannah to The Hunger Games: The love triangle in the series plays a big part in the story, and it is partly how the story continues. It brings problems—and sometimes solutions. The thing is, not all people admire the romance between the characters. Do you think it weakens or strengthens the plot, and in which ways?

Answer: Ok, so people might hate me for this, but I ship Kale. That is Katniss and Gale. I feel like their romance was adorable, and how much Gale loved her was amazing. However, Everlark was staged at first, but it helped Peeta and Katniss in the long run. So I guess the love triangle strengthened the plot.
