It's been a while since i talked about The Trials of Apollo! 😛

A very good scene in the 2nd book came to mind, which is when Apollo realizes he should have brought tater tots to distract the thousands of snakes in Trophonius's cave 🐍👹

As a reader, this part left me paralyzed.

I think it was the first time in the books that someone didn't have all the materials for a mission... And that led to one of the most BEAUTIFUL moments of this series, which was Meg singing to save herself and her friend from death

A simple action that took the character (and the reader) out of his comfort zone and forced him to improvise

THIS IS CINEMA 🙌

#seriously Rick Riordan was a writing genius for this #he knew he had to serve #it's soooooo satisfying to see characters outside their comfort zone #i think that's why i like this series SO MUCH #it's literally the plot of it #: )#trials of apollo #lester papadopoulos #toa #toa apollo #meg mccaffrey
