![]() That boy really should have gotten his own books. I have been dealing with it since book 4, gasping as every strap, mention, and sightings of him. That is precisely that kind of obsession I have with Nico Di Angelo. It doesn't matter that I only just saw Nico the other book. In all, the boy reminded me somewhat of Nico Di Angelo, the son of Hades, if Nico was slightly older, more vicious, and had been raised by jackals. and I can't think of anyone other than Rick Riordan who is better for the job. There are so many mythologies out there to explore - Japanese, Chinese, Hindu, etc. our dreams for a new mythology series after The Trials of Apollo might come true. Rick Riordan is not the type to throw in random clues. Jimmy is of different mythology entirely.Īnd I can't help but think - can't help but hope - that this is a sort of preparation for a brand new Rick Riordan series (!). ![]() My suspicions that Jimmy is, in fact, of a different mythology, have been confirmed by the end of the book.Īt first, I thought maybe he was part of the Magnus Chase world or even The Kane Chronicles world but oh no, oh no my friends. Jimmy's electricity was different - a more humid scent of ozone, a darker red hue to the flashes. I already can't wait to see the growth of the Apollo of book 5. It only shines brighter with every passing moment. It was a truly heartfelt moment to see Apollo caring about these two - about everyone at the waystation - as the story progressed.Īs arrogant and goddy as he can get, he truly does have a hidden heart of gold. I understand why they need some normalcy in their life after everything they've been through (not that it seems they're going to get it so quickly, given Leo's recent mission to warn the Romans of their impending doom). I wasn't entirely expecting it because I thought those two would keep on journeying with Apollo and Meg but. That "goodbye" scene between Apollo and Leo & Calypso was just so touching. They argued and shouted and disliked one another. ![]() I found this unlikely trio to be so wonderfully fit together. Leo Valdez - savior of earth (quite literally). I find the way he admits to things by denying them is simply adorable. No, it had just been a very long day and my nerves were fried. I was not overwhelmed by their friendship. I wanted to rush in there, hug him, and tell him everything was going to be okay. That scene when he cried in the toilet was heartbreaking. Hearing Apollo's stories of past times was just. If I thought The Hidden Oracle was sad with all those flashbacks to Apollo's past. Was there anyone I hadn't betrayed and disappointed? Any relationship I hadn't destroyed? I get the feeling you and your hunters will be desperately needed in times to come. In the meantime, don't die in your foxhunt, Thalia Grace. I wonder if we'll get to see Artemis, despite the restrictions, soon. Not to mention, Apollo truly does miss his sister. Okay, okay, so I was actually hoping - praying, liked Apollo - for Artemis to show up.Įven though it was made clear she wasn't going to, I still wanted to see the two of them interact now that Apollo is mortal. Once you were in, you never left - unless you left in a lovely silver coffin. I'd always thought of my sister's followers as a sort of all-maiden mafia. Then again, she probably would have punched him in the face for giving her a mouth to mouth in the first place (even if it was to save her life). Luckily, Meg was unconscious and couldn't punch him in the face for the insult. It was even made clear when Apollo had to give Meg a mouth to mouth and described it as 'a slimy, unpleasant sensation - much like what I imagined Poseidon experienced when he realized he was kissing the gorgon Medusa.' they're just so precious the way they are. I want them to be closer, and I want them to find love, but between the two of them. I can't even envision a romantic relationship between them because they're just so best friends - bordering on brother-sister - material.Īnd even if age wasn't the problem, they're just so perfect in this relationship of theirs. Those two are best friends for life (even if they're way too stubborn to ever admit this).
