Something something Leo returning to camp, excited to see everyone.
Looking around with a smile. "Wheres Jason?"
Percy feeling this cold sense of dread.
And not knowing why.
Leo asking where Jason is and Percy not seeing Leo.
But 10 year old Nico di Angelo.
Asking where his sister is.

I love how even when he is telling the reader that he attempted to kill himself, Apollo is always trying to dissuade the reader from ever doing the same thing.
“Dear reader, it takes a great deal of willpower to intentionally harm yourself. And not the good kind of willpower-the stupid, reckless kind you should never try to summon, even in an effort to save your friends.
As I stabbed myself, I was shocked by the sheer amount of pain I experienced. Why did killing yourself have to hurt so much?”

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!

You think they ever just hang out like this sometimes, like catching up beside a dumpster, just like good old times

My 12yo brother is reading the Burning Maze for the first time and I told him to let me know when he gets to “the part” and he is going insane about it lmao
The last time I did this to him was when reading the House of Hades with Nico coming out, so Jason’s death is gonna give him whiplash for sure

There was a grave for Leo.
He told them not to get rid of it, even though he was very much alive.
He'd joke it was to freak new campers out.
But in actuality it was because while his grave was empty, the one beside it was not.
Jason.
Jason who was always terrified of being alone, of messing up and being left abandoned and unloved.
It was Leo's way of showing him that he wasn't alone.
Because Jason asked to be buried beside him.
And how could Leo deny him that.

Jason Grace, son of lightning and justice, smelled a storm brewing just before his death and thought of his mother, consoling him before bed, and how unfair everything that his father inflicted was.
Jason Grace, met eyes with another son of Zeus who had been thrown to the wolves and gave into his nature to care for him, even if he’d done nothing but cause him trouble in the past.
Jason Grace stared at Apollo and saw someone who could get better.
Jason Grace looked at himself and felt like he’d never be able to change.
One Son of Zeus of the other.

i mean really, jason grace committed suicide. That's. that's what his death is. it's suicide. he killed himself.
walking in front of a train isn't any less killing yourself than slitting your wrists, there's not. just because someone else is actively causing the death, that doesn't mean you didn't put yourself in the position to die.
and that's-- that's what jason did. he knew if he went he would die, and he went anyway. he went because of it actually. it's a suicide mission that ends in him dying, and frankly, look at the risk factors-- jason has them.
jason grace committed suicide. he was a hero, his death was heroic, but it was also suicide. it can be both. and that's. whether he knew it was suicide or not, he killed himself.
