I hate my liFE riCK RIORDEN OWNS MY FREIKEN SOUL

I am seriously loving The Hidden Oracle.

Obviously I love the familiar faces, and the mythological allusions, and every reference to my precious Seventh Wheel<3

But I’m loving the rest of it, too–Meg, and Austin and Kayla, and the mystery, and Apollo as a character. I honestly didn’t think I would care much about him, but he’s actually rather fascinating. The clash of narcissism and self-doubt, humor and tragedy, adolescence and ancientry…it’s so interesting.

And Nico. Oh my gosh, I love how Nico’s character has developed. I feel like he’s finally struck a balance. Some of the vitality and innocence of his younger self has reawakened, but now it’s combined with maturity, even a bit of wisdom, and a very intentional, beautifully morbid sense of humor.

I just…I’m digging this book.

lovegaforever:

How is no one talking about this. Guys Travis is in college now.

kirbily:

So The Hidden Oracle doesn’t have chapter titles, it has haikus by Apollo, and they are just magical

prays that rick doesn’t fuck up Apollo’s character

OKAY SO THE TRIALS OF APOLLO
