Oh gee, what does Iris do? Isn't she like the messenger of the Gods or something? :-s

She is. And if you read the Rick Riordan books concerning Greek mythology (Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus), she also plays the neutral party and likes being a hippie.

Yeah, I've read a couple of his books. I think they use the term "iris message" when sending out messages? Or maybe that's from another book. :s

Yes, that's what they use. In Heroes of Olympus, they meet Iris, who's into whole grains and granola bars.

They are amazing, and the backstory is sweet: Rick Riordan wrote it as a bedtime story for his son, who like the hero Percy Jackson has ADHD and dyslexia. In essence, Rick Riordan turned his son into a Greek hero who fights monsters on a regular basis.

I didn't realize Percy has ADHD and dyslexia! I only read the books with the Roman camp involved, but I did watch the movie. Love greek/roman mythology , I'm sure the books are great.

They are. The Roman books are more intense, especially with the most recent cliffhanger. But I love Nico!
