Kindle Notes & Highlights
Just then, thunder boomed overhead. Lightning flashed, and the bars on the nearest window burst into sizzling, melted stubs of iron. Jason flew in like Peter Pan, electricity sparking around him and his gold sword steaming. Leo whistled appreciatively. “Man, you just wasted an awesome entrance.”
Lol
What Frank had done on that bridge in Venice…Hazel was still in awe. None of them had actually seen the battle, but no one doubted it. Frank’s whole bearing had changed. Even Leo had stopped making jokes at his expense.
Don't remember how I felt about this the first time I read it, but I'm not a huge fan of it now. Leo jokes with/about everyone. Frank's just the only one who ever took it personally.
Even Nico seemed to follow his lead without question.
Lol Jason hasn't yet asked Nico to do anything that goes against what he already wants to do anyway. Plus, he's traumatised and exhausted. Wait until he's healthy and finished doing what he promised Percy, then see how much he listens.
Hazel bit back an insult. Pluto was just another deadbeat godly dad making weak excuses.
No, really. Talk to Nico. You've gotten the good version.
Even as he said it, Percy felt like a liar. He’d left Bob in the Underworld and hadn’t given him a thought since. What made them friends? The fact that Percy needed him now? Percy always hated it when the gods used him for their errands. Now Percy was treating Bob the same way.
...Ok, but even if you had thought of him you couldn't have done anything about it. You can't just pop into the underworld for tea.
Percy’s voice disintegrated like someone had hit it with a Celestial bronze blade. He’d never felt so low and dishonorable, so unworthy of having a friend.
Again: not actually your fault. Fifteen dozen attempts at making Nico feel welcome and he's brushed off every one of them.
We did nothing, the demons said. Your beloved has unleashed a special curse—a bitter thought from someone you abandoned. You punished an innocent soul by leaving her in her solitude. Now her most hateful wish has come to pass: Annabeth feels her despair. She, too, will perish alone and abandoned.
Fuck Calypso for this. Centuries of experience, and she still blames anyone other than the gods for Percy doing exactly what she always knew he would do? Fuck that.
Percy knew that he’d killed a lot of monsters, but he’d never really thought about it from the monsters’ point of view.
Well they were trying to kill you so...
Percy should have followed up with Calypso, made sure the gods sprang her from her exile on Ogygia like they’d promised.
When? In the four months you had to rest and be a semi-normal teenager before Hera kidnapped you and stole your memories? You've been kinda busy.
Piper managed a smile. She really did love these guys. She wished she could use her charmspeak on the Fates, describe a happy ending, and force them to make it come true.
Oh you poor thing
What surprised Leo most was the surge of anger he felt. It wasn’t just annoyance or jealousy. He was mad at Percy for hurting this girl.
Seriously. Not Percy's fault. Not any different from exactly what you're going to do when you leave the island.
She used to tease Percy for being dumb, but in truth his instincts were usually right on target.
Percy's such a classic ADHD gifted kid. Terrible grades, memorisation isn't really his thing, never ask him to do anything boring, but when the stakes are high everything clicks together
Nevertheless, he held Nico’s gaze. “Yes, hiding. You’ve run away from both camps. You’re so afraid you’ll get rejected that you won’t even try. Maybe it’s time you come out of the shadows.”
You literally said he was creepy and unsettling like two pages ago! Everyone in this book has mentioned how uncomfortable they are around him! That's not being afraid, that's just recognising facts!
All week he had been waiting, hoping Auster would decide to help. For months he had worried about his obligations to Camp Jupiter, hoping his path would become clear. Now, he realized, he simply had to take what he wanted. He had to control the winds, not the other way around.
For the record: Percy never would've waited around like that. Just sayin'.
Standing next to her, Jason felt so good, he could almost imagine their future together at Camp Half-Blood, once the war was over—assuming they lived, assuming there was still a camp left to return to.
I...I don't mean to be rude, but...what future? Name one Greek demigod over the age of 19. Name one child of demigods. Camp Half-Blood doesn't offer a future.
Somehow, he had to convince her to go without him. As long as she was safe and the Doors disappeared, he could die knowing he’d done something right.
Oh it's so cute that you think Annabeth will ever allow that.
Nico swung his black sword at another gryphon. “Well, then, promote him!”
lmao iconic
