Nonsensical Nonsense: The Gods of Olympus Book Tag

The Gods of Olympus

Book Tag!!!

I saw this book tag over in one of a booktuber's videos, and since I don't really do videos, I decided to make this a blog post. 

#1 Zeus: Name your favorite fictional leader. Good or bad?

Sassy, witty, and Keeper of the Runners, give me a one good reason not to like Minho. Minho is basically the person who gives us all comic relief in the series.

Plot Synopsis:

"If you ain't scared, you ain't human." 

When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his name. He's surrounded by strangers--boys whose memories are also gone.

Outside the towering stone walls that surround the Glade is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It's the only way out--and no one's ever made it through alive.

Then a girl arrives. The first girl ever. And the message she delivers is terrifying.

#2 Hera: Who are your favorite fictional parents?

My favorite fictional parents comes from Outpost, which is the second book of Enclave.

The Oaks family is one of the most amazing family I have met in YA literature! They're are the BEST, I sometimes wish that they were my own parents too. Is there this magical that I can put myself up to adoption for fictional parents? 

Plot Synopsis:

Deuce’s whole world has changed.

Down below, she was considered an adult. Now, topside in a town called Salvation, she’s a brat in need of training in the eyes of the townsfolk. She doesn't fit in with the other girls: Deuce only knows how to fight.

To make matters worse, her Hunter partner, Fade, keeps Deuce at a distance. Her feelings for Fade haven’t changed, but he seems not to want her around anymore. Confused and lonely, she starts looking for a way out.

Deuce signs up to serve in the summer patrols—those who make sure the planters can work the fields without danger. It should be routine, but things have been changing on the surface, just as they did below ground. The Freaks have grown smarter. They’re watching. Waiting. Planning. The monsters don’t intend to let Salvation survive, and it may take a girl like Deuce to turn back the tide.

#3 Demeter: What fictional food would you like to try?

Hands down, it's DAUNTLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE!!! Why? Because it's cake, because it's chocolate. And BECAUSE IT'S DAUNTLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE!

Plot Synopsis: 

In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue--Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is--she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.

During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles alongside her fellow initiates to live out the choice they have made. Together they must undergo extreme physical tests of endurance and intense psychological simulations, some with devastating consequences. As initiation transforms them all, Tris must determine who her friends really are--and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes exasperating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers unrest and growing conflict that threaten to unravel her seemingly perfect society, Tris also learns that her secret might help her save the ones she loves . . . or it might destroy her.

#3 Poseidon: Name a book where water is central, either in setting or plot.

This is the only mermaid book I have, so this is kinda here by default. *shrugs*

Plot Synopsis:

Galen is the prince of the Syrena, sent to land to find a girl he's heard can communicate with fish. Emma is on vacation at the beach. When she runs into Galen—literally, ouch!—both teens sense a connection. But it will take several encounters, including a deadly one with a shark, for Galen to be convinced of Emma's gifts. Now, if he can only convince Emma that she holds the key to his kingdom...

Told from both Emma and Galen's points of view, here is a fish-out-of-water story that sparkles with intrigue, humor, and waves of romance.

#4 Dionysus: Which character would you most like to have a party with?

All of us who have read this series knows to an extent that The High Warlock of Brooklyn is a party animal. We also knows fully that Magnus's parties are legen-wait for it-dary. That being said, who wouldn't want this sex god of partying in any of their revelry. 

Plot Synopsis: 

When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder― much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing―not even a smear of blood―to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?

This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It's also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know... 

Exotic and gritty, exhilarating and utterly gripping, Cassandra Clare's ferociously entertaining fantasy takes readers on a wild ride that they will never want to end.

#5 Apollo: Name a great debut book or a first book in a series you really enjoyed.

#6 Artemis: Who is your favorite female heroine? 

If you have read this book and did not like Karou, then I don't want to talk to you.

Kidding!

Around the world, black handprints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky.

In a dark and dusty shop, a devil's supply of human teeth grown dangerously low.

And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherwordly war.

Meet Karou. She fills her sketchbooks with monsters that may or may not be real; she's prone to disappearing on mysterious "errands"; she speaks many languages--not all of them human; and her bright blue hair actually grows out of her head that color. Who is she? That is the question that haunts her, and she's about to find out.

When one of the strangers--beautiful, haunted Akiva--fixes his fire-colored eyes on her in an alley in Marrakesh, the result is blood and starlight, secrets unveiled, and a star-crossed love whose roots drink deep of a violent past. But will Karou live to regret learning the truth about herself?

#8 Hermes: If you could travel to any fictional setting, real or fantasy, where would you go? 

To Tartarus with the fact that you might be dead before your 15th birthday. To Tartarus with the fact that you might get struck with lightning because you managed to upset some unknown god.

Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school... again. And that's the least of his troubles.

Zeus' master lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect.

Now Percy and his friends have just ten days to find and return Zeus' stolen property and bring peace to a warring Mount Olympus. But to succeed on his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch the true thief: he must come to terms with the father who abandoned him; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of betrayal by a friend; and unravel a treachery more powerful than the gods themselves.

#9 Hephaestus: If you could have any fictional tool made, what would you want?

At first I would've said a real wand, but who would want a wand when you could have a real live Smarteye! I mean you could basically go into this Hogwarts realm and get your own hologram wand. Heck, you can even go to Camp Half Blood and and get your very own sword. It's that awesome! You get to have the best of all fandoms!

#14 If you could be a god or goddess of anything who would you be, and what do you think would fit your personality. 

I would probably the god lethargicness, just lounging on my bad reading all day long, doing nothing. Or, or I could be the god of sarcasm and profanity or, or the supreme deity of all things bullcrap!
