All the series combined, (pjo, hoo, toa) I think Trials of Apollo might be my favorite. I’ve said Heroes of Olympus for a while, but after finishing toa, I was actually really sad in a way that I wasn’t with the other series. This is my reasoning: *TOA SPOILERS AHEAD*

Lester/Apollo’s narration and character development was top notch. In The Hidden Oracle, at first I thought the book series was gonna be full of arrogance and whining. Oh, how it was the complete opposite. He went through stuff that no other god will ever go through. Pain, and grief. The empty feeling of not being yourself anymore. And he finally realized how the gods are, how clueless they have been about mortals and demigods. Everything that happened in toa was just building up to the perfect Apollo, the Apollo that’s not in fact perfect.

The characters. Like, these characters are so good? First of all, they are so fleshed out. Meg McCaffrey, who saw her own father dead and got mentally abused by the emperor who killed him. “The Beast,” was just himself, but Meg was too scared of him to stand up for herself. And like, how is an arrow kind of making me empathize with it? The arrow of Dodona was supposedly the worst piece of wood in the forest, and so Lester needed to prove the others wrong, and I think he did. Especially in that final battle against Python.

The amount of different stories and adventures. Obviously you would have sooo many adventures, because you need to get a different oracle in each one! In every single one, we’re introduced to a new character and new goal. It doesn’t really start in the first one, as it’s just introducing the main characters. In the second one, it’s Emmie, Jo, Calypso, and Leo. In the third one, it’s Piper, Jason, and Grover. In the fourth one, it’s Lavinia, Reyna, Hazel, and Frank (a lot of characters from SoN). In the last one, it’s just a lot of chb campers. Will, Nico, the Troglodytes, and more. See what I mean? There are so many different stories in just one series.

And lastly, how powerful it is. The fact that it could make me cry is impressive, because I don’t cry at much (book and movie wise). Jason’s death, Lester’s misery, Meg’s abuse, and so much more. It’s just so sad but powerful at the same time. If you prefer a different series, (PJO, HOO, TOA) then tell me why!

There is an interesting shift in The Tyrant's Tomb in how Apollo/Lester talks about his father.

Cos in the previous books, i got the vibe that Apollo and Zeus never got alone, but that was more of the 'dysfunctional olympiad family' vibe, maybe with a slight added power dynamic of Zeus being Apollo's father and the ruler of the Olympians, which meant Apollo tended to get the short end of the stick.

Even when comparing his relationship to Zeus to Meg's with Nero, which is blatantly and narratively painted as abusive from the start, I didn't necessarily get the vibe that Apollo necessarily was ready to admit that Zeus was outright abusive, which as we're seeing it from his pov, meant I didn't fully put the pieces together.

But then we come to book four and Camp Jupiter, and now Apollo is outright saying 'yeah, he abused me and it was traumating,' to the point where he's almost triggered by the presence of his father's symbols at Camp Jupiter.

And I think it's a facinating shift and brilliantly written. It takes him a while to be able to look it fully in the face. It's only after he sees some examples of good parenting, after he meets and loses Jason--his brother who stood up to their father-- after he sees Meg slowly confronting her past, after he finds himself in the slightly triggering environment of Camp Dad that he's able to fully face it and name it.

Its also interesting to me that this is fully brought up in the same book that touches on a lot of the most horrible things Apollo did as a god. It's the victim becomes the victimiser theme, its paralleling those two sides of him, and its making the audience continue to sympathise with him, even though he admits to doing horrible things, and I love it.

#Wren rambles #Trials of apollo #percy jackson series #lester papadopoulos #the tyrants tomb #I had a dream last night that the god they're working to being able to summon was going to have to be zeus #And apollo was gonna have a Rough Time because of it #Idk if that will happen I haven't finished the book yet but I was SO SURE last night lol #If not Zeus so apollo has to outright face that then I hope Artemis #Cos I NEED a reunion between the twins

Just wanted to remind you that Apollo is a very Proud Dad™ because when AoD was trying to give this guy a clue in the TTT on the identity of Harpocrates, it decided to use doctors and Apollo without a second thought said Asclepius's name and then Will's as his favourite and best doctors

I just can't hate Commodus as much as I hate Nero and Caligula. Not because Commodus is laughable and dumb, or because he's not as cruel (oh, he's just as cruel), but because Apollo knew him so personally. They have such an interesting dynamic together, what with Apollo having betrayed and killed him, and I just have to love it.

Nero and Caligula are Roman to the core. But Commodus is rash, loves the attention, the entertainment. He reminds me of the Greek gods and their ridiculous mangled and interwoven history. He's chaotic and bloodthirsty, but he appreciates when someone surprises him because he delights in a show. He'll destroy you right after, but he truly relishes doing it.

since I'm from India, I never really noticed the diversity in pjo until somebody posted about how piper being Cherokee was a big deal for indigenous people. I appreciated the books and uncle Rick so much after that. I didn't even know much about the indeginious people until piper. A new Orleans black demigod, a 1900s gay italian demigod, a Hispanic demigod and in camp Jupiter a son of Asclepius named Pranjal. I felt so seen in his character for some reason. There wasn't much known about him and he was only there a few times but it made me so damn happy, I just needed to mention that to everyone,

That I'm happy how rick Riordan includes diversity like that.

nooo cause Lester is so pathetic in TOA. Half the time, he’s just throwing up while he has spots in his eyes as if he’s about to faint. Like- this man has passed out more than Jason at this point.

Don’t get me started on how funny it was in The Dark Prophecy when they went into the cave (I forgot what it was called don’t kill me pls) and he was hysterically laughing and giggling while Meg led him. That’s so funny why don’t people talk about that more often?

he’s always injured lol. He almost became a zombie and he was just jolly. I love him sm. He’s amazing.
