Renegades review (and some PJO stuff)

[shiiki]

I just got it! I wasn't even going to let myself get a copy until my presentation was over because I knew I'd be tempted to crack it open. And now I'm exerting a lot of willpower to hold off until I get through my marking (52 scripts, ow) but on the bright side, I've been really powering through those so I think I can finally start reading this weekend. I'm thinking of doing a real chapter-by-chapter read through, and sharing my reactions as I go along.

I think my favourite short story is probably The Diary of Luke Castellan because it gave us a glimpse into that history and Luke's motivations (and I'm an absolute sucker for Annabeth-Thalia-Luke). I can't say I like Luke exactly, but I think he's fascinating as a 'villain'.
