#i mean. god the villains in The Tower of Nero and in The Sun and the Star

[aglioeolioeaddio]

Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro are heroes. They really said parents aren't entitled to shit from their children

They really said trans rights + fuck parents who won't accept their kids if they're not their ""ideal"" child

They really said children deserve and need autonomy

So, I just finished Tower of Nero and I have a lot of thoughts about it

Estelle has Percy’s sea-green eyes and silver hair?! lol why

okay but, Estelle for President, I love her

Apollo crying in the shower bc Sally and Paul are so kind to him? yeah, I cried too, why does kindness makes me so emotional??

Nico remains true to himself with that black skeletal pegasus camp shirt, good for him

Cried the second time when Nico ran away bc of Jason, give my boy a break!

Will has a sun tattoo on his chest, just for your information, oh and also William Andrew Solace

someone(Apollo) finally acknowledges how resilient Nico is! yes he’s an emo kid but he’s not weak

Rachel is as awesome as usual, Art can be made again. People can’t.

Will is a Star Wars geek! i knew he was a nerd, Nico and him had to have a least one thing in common

wait, Will can actually glow?? i thought this would be too cliche lmao

Friends, meet my glow-in-the-dark boyfriend

Nero: Where was I? Apollo: The villain monologue. Exactly my thought lmao

double amputation in a children’s book? sure, why not(okay, i think we can agree that ToA is more grown up than PJO and HoO)

i really loved Meg’s and Apollo’s character development, Apollo did learn his lessons and Meg is finally free from Nero, also their friendship is precious

RIP Arrow of Dodona(i kinda knew you wouldn’t make it)

yey, Hera redemption arc! kinda?

wow, Zeus really doesn’t care about Jason, worst Dad ever

Reunions

Rachel she’s going to Paris to study art, I’m so happy for her!

Solangelo a new prophecy, so there’s maybe a Nico stand alone story?! I’d rather read about that Paris date, but it looks like they’re going to rescue Bob from Tartarus, sigh those demigods can never catch a break, huh

Reyna and Thalia having fun on the hunt makes me happy!

Georgina possibly Apollo’s daughter?? I thought he would know that now that he’s a god again and all, plothole???

Lityerses with those elephants? adorable!

Caleo yikes, tbh I always hated the mamacita thing, so I’m glad we can ditch that, i love independent Calypso, I love that they both do their own thing(Leo teaching kids shop skills, Cal being a counsellor at a band camp), time apart is good, they need to figure themselves out, Leo has two great moms now, I’m disappointed that we don’t learn how he deals with Jason’s death, I mean he lost his best friend, but yeah let’s not talk about it or what, I’m sad that Leo’s so miserable, the book makes it seem like it’s all his fault, as if Calypso is perfect, I hope he and Calypso can make it work, but at this point I’m not so sure anymore

Frazel they’re doing great! now, both their curses are broken

Percabeth going to college as expected

Piper has a girlfriend, didn’t expect that at all, but I’m happy for her

Meg is not ok, but she will be, she’s really been through a lot, bless her

Conclusion I have mixed feelings, I’m glad that it’s over(even though there’s maybe a Bob/Tartarus story coming), there were a lot of unresolved issues in Heroes of Olympus, some have been cleared up(Hazel’s and Frank’s curses, Solangelo happened, Reyna and Venus’s prophecy), other things like the Caleo issues and Jasper breakup made me unhappy, I guess it’s realistic but I hated to read about that from Apollo’s point of view
