Causes and Effects from Percy Jackson to the Lost Heroes


Author's Note:  I read the all of the Percy Jackson books and I read the first two books in The Lost Heroes of Olympus series. Both are all by the fantastic Rick Riordan who wrote amazing cause and effect conflicts in the books. A lot of things had small causes and gigantic effects on the entire series.


Before there were the seven best demigods of the age, there was Percy Jackson and his friends. One of them betrayed Percy because his friend, Luke, felt unloved by his parents and the Greek gods. This resulted in the second Titan war and caused Mother Earth's evil, giant children to stir. Therefore Hera was captured; she exchanged Percy and Jason, ancient enemies, with hopes to bring the Greeks and the Romans together.

If Hera had not done what she did, both parties of demigods would be defeated in the war against Mother Earth, or Gaea. By doing so, Hera took a huge gamble which paid off. Now the two camps are working together to vanquish Gaea. Will it all work out? The series has not been completely published, so the future of the world is unknown. Six out of the seven have been revealed, leaving us all wondering who's the seventh. Until then, the six of the best demigods of the age have head start.
