I just finished listening to the audiobook of The Titan’s Curse, the third book in the Percy Jackson book series and thus the basis for the third season of the Disney series. Here are some random (spoiler-free) thoughts.

1. There is a surprising divergence from book 2 in the final episode of season 2 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, an unexpected twist that casts a character in a new light. I can now see how that change could raise the stakes for a particular plot point in season 3 by ratcheting up tensions that are already present in the text.
2. Leah Sava Jeffries has indicated that her character, Annabeth, who is absent from most of book 3, is going to get a new fleshed-out story arc. I’m guessing this arc is going to involve flashbacks to reveal some important family dynamics that are discussed in the text but never from Annabeth’s POV.
3. I bet I can guess what the end-of-series, mid-credits teaser for season 4 is going to be. (Di immortales, let there be a season 4 and a season 5!)

I loved reading the Percy Jackson books with my dear daughter years ago, and I wish the new series and its stars all the best!
