Leo Valdez (This bitch)
December 04, 2014
SPOILER ALERT!!!
I finished reading Blood Of Olympus about two days ago.
And, as a person who is her ultimate favourite fictional character is LEO VALDEZ,
I never felt so empty before after reading a book.
Don't get me wrong, Leo didn't die in Blood Of Olympus.
It's just, he 'die' for his friends.
His friends didn't know that he's alive because he freaking went to Ogygia.
He sacrificed himself. And to be honest, its not fair for him.
The only people who are concern about his condition are Piper and Hazel. I don't seem anybody that fucking care about him. Like, no shit Sherlock, excuse me, WE NEED MORE CLOSER!
Like, we have Jason's chapters a little bit too much and there are no Percy or Annabeth or Frank or Hazel's chapters. Its not enough.
I didn't mean to say that Blood of Olympus is suck. The BOOK IS GREAT but its not enough. We didn't get closer for Leo, Frank, Hazel and Reyna.
It hurts my heart, okay.
It hurts especially for Leo.
I don't know if you understand this but, Leo Valdez is the only character left that I love is alive. The other two (Augustus Waters, Newt) are already dead in their books.
So, all I asked for is Leo to live a happy life and not suffer anymore.
Among the Seven, Leo suffered the most.
His mom died, He think he's the seventh wheel (Which is I agree sometimes with him), His childhood was a nightmare, I mean Gaia (That evil bitch) basically killed his mom, His pet dragon died, He's the only one who didn't have a girlfriend. He's under appreciated.
It sucks.
The part in Blood of Olympus where Jason, Piper and Leo went to meet that doctor greek god, Asclepius for the physician's cure was my favourite part of that book.
Asclepius basically scanned the three and it was so funny. Jason is short-sightedness?? Jason, the most handsome one wears glasses. That's pretty cute;
He (Jason) tried on the glasses, which had thin frames of Imperial gold. 'Wow. Yeah. That's better.'
Piper smiled, 'You look very distinguished.'
'I don't know man,' Leo said. 'I'd go for contacts- glowing orange ones with cat's -eye pupils. Those would be cool.'
And then Asclepius adviced that Piper need more iron and protein. Asclepius is probably the only greek god that is nice and not shitty. I love him, he's so...adorably friendly.
'And you..." He (Aclepius) faced Leo.
'Oh, my.' The doctor's expression turned grim. The friendly twinkle disappeared from his eyes. 'Oh, I see..'
The doctor's expression said, I am so, so sorry.
That part literally broke my heart. Cause Asclepius knew how broken Leo was.
ANd *sTART SOBBING* in the end of the book,
When Gaia woke up and ready to destroy the world, Leo was on his ship alone in Acropolis,
And Annabeth and Percy and Frank and Reyna give command to Camp Jupiter and Camp Half-Blood and the LEO FUCKING CAME FLYING ON FESTUS (HOLY SHIT FESTUS IS ALIVE)
(that's also my favourite part in the book)
Festus is alive, man.
"You're the best thing I ever fixed." - Leo to Festus, book 1, The Lost Hero.
Leo and Festus attacked Gaia with Fire and that Jason and Piper came flying to helped Leo but Leo asked them to leave and the last time he said to Piper and Jason is;
"I love you guys."
And then the whole thing blew up. Gaia's dead. Leo is missing. Everybody tried to find his body but they couldn't find it. So they assumed he was dead.
I was crying so hard when I read that part. I mean, sobbing until I can't breath, I literally was having a heart attack.
I mean, I lost Augustus, I lost Newt. I couldn't bare myself to loose Leo. He was the only character I have left. I can't imagine losing him. I mean, I was ready because all these fan theories that either Leo or Nico will die, but I just can't.
I love him too much. And he suffer too much to die like that.
And then, came the last chapter; LEO'S POV.
Leo was dead for a second, but he managed to stung himself with Physician's Cure and he was alive again.... (that bitch made me worried sick)
In book 4, Leo promised Calypso for him to come back and bring her away from Ogygia.
He went Ogygia to meet Calypso. (OMG MY HEART)
And the reunion;
Leo looked up. Calypso stood over him, her arms crossed, her eyebrows arched.
'You're late." she announced. Her eyes gleamed.
'Sorry, Sunshine,' Leo said. 'Traffic was murder.'
Seriously Leo? You were flying on a dragon. Sky doesn't have any traffic.
MY BABIES FINALLY TOGETHER.
Hail to the fanart;
CALEO FOREVER.
It hurt okay, reading two books about Leo wanting to see Calypso again while he was surrounded with couples in his ship.
And then the book ended.
WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. FUCK?
Yes, I'm happy Leo's alive but.
But is it fair?
HIS FRIENDS DOESN'T KNOW HES ALIVE.
I want a closer. I want it so bad.
I want to read about Leo and Calypso finally reached Camp Half-Blood and Piper and Jason came hugging him. I want that. Every person who read this book wants that.
I believe that Rick Riordan will have a short story about Leo's returning. I need it. I need. I NEED IT.
But overall,
Thank you for the adventures you gave me.
(Especially Leo)
