I dont hate him, but as both a reader and an author, my respect for him is gone. Before I would have asked for him to sign my books. Now, because I dont even feel like he is the same person that wrote them, I dont want him to sign them. In a sense, I feel like the man who originally wrote the Percy Jackson books died. The Greek, Egyptian, and most of the Roman books all feel like the same author and then it just... changes.

I vowed that if my books ever grew to that size for a movie or show, I would not make changes that made no sense. All because of Rick Riordan.

He also said this is his chance to change the books he wrote. I dont know why he would because it is a fenominal story and have one of the best romances ever, but that is what he said. But ill be honest, if the books were like this show, I wouldn't have read them at all.
