It Was A Good Series When It Wasn't Focused On The Romance - Tumblr Posts
Ok, so I love Rick Riordan but what was he doing in Kane Chronicles???
In the first book, Sadie says she's not boy crazy. She gets a crush, but it's on a god, who are supposed to look perfect, and she's 12, so it's understandable
The problem is THAT SHE SPENDS THE NEXT 2 BOOKS BEING BOY CRAZY
And also, WTF WERE THE AGE GAPS??? A 13 YEAR OLD AND A 16 YEAR OLD IS ALREADY A WEIRD AGE GAP, BUT YOU'RE SHIPPING HER WITH A THOUSANDS OF YEARS OLD GOD??? YOU CAN CLAIM ALL YOU WANT THAT "Oh, he was in the Duat, he didn't age while time passed!" BUT IT'S STILL BULLSHIT! THEY REFERENCE HOW OLD HE IS, THEY REFERENCE THAT HE'S TOO OLD FOR SADIE, A 13 YEAR OLD GIRL, AND HE'S STILL PUT WITH HER!
A 3 year age gap when 13 is already creepy. It's frowned upon. A THOUSANDS of years age gap is MUCH, MUCH WORSE! HE IS A PEDOPHILE!
It's really not that hard to not ship ancient beings with children, Rick.
