It's Too Good To Put It Down

Authors Note- I wrote my text analysis easy on Rick Riordan and his series because I feel that he is exceptional good skills at hooking readers and keeping them hooked.

As an author, writing something that appeals to readers is hard. Sometimes a author might just want to write what he wants. But it might not appeal to readers as much as it does to him. There are many ways to appeal to a some ones reading wants, and once you master those things you can be a very good author. Rick Riordan basically does this perfectly. In the series The Lost Hero, he attracts readers when he changes the point of view to create non-stop action, he puts in rivalry at the right times, and he has also kept characters from a different series. 

Always in a book comes a time when the reader loses interesting in what's happening or the scene is just flat out stale, lacking in action or romance. Often this changes the readers perspective on the quality of the book. While you're reading Rick Riordan's great literature, you may notice that his books don't ever lack in action. But has non-stop action, which is what most readers truly desire, even if Rick Riordan is their usually author of choice. Rick Riordans target audience is from 9-12. Usually those kids within that age group have a shorter attention span than most so Rick has to keep the action going, which he does perfectly.

When there's rivalry in a book it really get's the reader into what's going on, and they think a little more on the characters different attitudes. Throughout the book the characters either think about it, or talk about it to other people. Annabeth was talking to Piper and she said, "It has to be difficult for both Percy and Jason. They are both used to being in charge." Percy and Jason are always competing like on pg. 247. They were arguing over what to do and where to go.

Usually when an author creates a new series, the author doesn't use the same characters. They want to create new, breath taking characters. Who really make their way to the readers heart. This doesn't always work though. You can't guarantee 100% that a reader will love the new characters you put in. Rick Riordan is a genius author for doing what he did to hook almost 100% of the readers. He added new characters but also kept the most important ones from a different series. Now those people who don't enjoy new characters or really liked the old ones. Now in Rick Riordans series, The Lost Hero's. All the fans of The Lightning Thief, will like this series. All because of just keeping a couple characters from his other series.

People thought that Rick Riordan couldn't top his series The Lighting Thief,  but he did. Rick Riordan can easily appeal to readers because he has mastered this skill as an author. He uses different ways every time. In the series The Lost Hero, he has used very interesting ways. He used rivalry, change of point of view, and very interestingly he kept characters from his other series. This all of course worked and hooked the reader right away, especially if they were a fan of Percy Jackson.
