Gods of Olympus Book Tag

I know this one was invented quite a while ago but I always love reading people's answers to things like these so I thought I'd share mine. I may bring back some of the other book tags because they're just so much fun! 

Zeus: Name your favourite fictional leader, good or bad?

Robb Stark from A Song of Fire and Ice he was mostly a very wise, natural leader who showed bravery and strength. Despite his age he managed to win the respect and loyalty of people much older and with much more experience.

Hera: Who are your favourite fictional parents?

Mr and Mrs Weasley from Harry Potter is my first answer. They are such amazing, kind and generous parents and I always loved reading the scenes where they were involved. (sorry if this answer is predictable)


Demeter: What fictional food would you like to try?

Pretty much anything from Honeydukes in Harry Potter. Pumpkin Pastilles, Chocolate Frogs, Acid Pops, Sugar Quills, you name it!

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

The Brotherband series by John Flanagan! They are vikings and therefore spend a lot of time on their ship The Heron.

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

This is kinda hard, but I think I'm gonna have to go with Fred and George Weasley. They're always the ones to throw the parties in the Gryffindor common room and they're proper hilarious.

Apollo: Name a great debut book.

These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner. Although Meagan had published a book before this one, These Broken Stars was the first book by Amie Kaufman.


Artemis: Who is your favourite female heroine?

Annabeth Chase. She is badass, incredible smart and brave. She is so freaking awesome!


Athena: Name a character who is wise.

Although Annabeth is often referred to as 'wise girl' i'm gonna have to pick Dumbledore for this one. I don't think I need to elaborate.

Hermes: If you could travel to any fictional setting (real world or fantasy) where would you go?

Hogwarts.


Hephaestus: If you could have any fictional tool made (for example a weapon or a gadget), what would you want?

A wand. I know everyone else is saying this but it would just be so useful. (not to mention awesome!)


Ares: What is your favourite fictional battle?

The battle at the end of the Fellowship of the Rings where Boromir dies (cry every time). There are just so many badass and emotional moment during it.

Aphrodite: What is your ultimate ship?

Percabeth. Obviously.

Hades: If you could petition Hades to bring any fictional character back from the dead who would you choose?

Fred Weasley.

If you could be a Goddess of anything what would you want to be and what do you think would fit your personality?

Ahh this is so hard! Umm... I would want to be the goddess of awesomeness. Put I would probably end up begin the goddess of indecision considering I just put awesomeness cause I couldn't think of anything better.
