MODERATORS
having read the first book and a bit of the second one, I realised how spoiled we've been with the way Head British TERF presented the world. every bit of Hogwarts has been vividly described with great detail, while here? I can't remember the single detail about the summer camp thingy, other than "there were some houses".
Most of Percy Jackson took place outside of Camp Half Blood, unlike Harry Potter, which takes place mostly at Hogwarts, so it's not surprising that Hogwarts got more detail. Also, Camp Half Blood had like 50 people in it unlike Hogwarts that had hundreds, so naturally it'd be less noteworthy.
Edit: I just checked and only 6 of 22 chapters of The Lighting Thief take place at CHB.
Skill issue. Lava wall, amphitheatre, forest, strawberry fields, Zeus fists, orange shirts, Thalia's tree etc.
yes, that's what I was implying.
Yeah, but he's saying skill issue with your reading retention.
But I'd agree with the poster above that I remember plenty of camp half blood. I don't 'remember' hogwarts, but I remember the same 'bits' and fields and important repeated places as much as I remember then from the Percy Jackson series.
Maybe it's that there isn't 7 movies tied to it to keep it fresh in your brain with extra images.
