About this deal

Apollo: Lester Papadopoulos is no more. Apollo’s godhood has been returned, and he now resides in Olympus, though it’s clear he’s a changed person. I’d expect his relationship with the other gods, and especially with his father, to be forever changed as well, and I’ll be interested to see how that might effect future books set in this world. DAYS UNTIL THIS BOOK COMES OUT! I'm so excited!! 4 years later and I'm a struggling college sophmore. Hopefully this book makes me less stressed lol During the battle of Nero’s tower, Cassius is seen by Austin Lake and Apollo and gives them the key card to the elevators leading to the private apartments of his family before running away. Not for me, though. I got a creaking seat on an Amtrak train and hours to binge-watch Meg’s stinky shoes. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with that other than the destruction of my emotions, so I’m not complaining about the pacing. I’m just pointing out that it was very different and it took me by surprise. I couldn't stop myself after I started reading. And that was an issue because I had homework to do and I wasn’t doing it.

Apollo describes Rachel's affection to him as "sisterly," which is the same thing he said about Meg. All of the kids that I write about, at one time or another, have been in my classroom. I feel very protective of them. I am very aware of my responsibility to do right by them, to make them feel safe,” he says. “One of the greatest things about interacting with the fans is when they come up to me and they say, ‘This the first time that I saw a character like me and I felt so validated, it helped me through a really rough time.’ To think that maybe, at least in some cases, I had some role in building a sense of acceptance, is amazing.” Apollo is confused by this and realizes this is a terza rima. They realize they will find the next stanza at their destination to which Meg is unnerved by.Apollo receives the first part of this prophecy at the very end of The Tyrant’s Tomb before he and Meg set out to leave Camp Jupiter. Ella reads this prophecy to him: First thing I want to incoherently scream over talk about: Solangelo. MY BABIES. MY BEAUTIFUL BEANS. THIS IS ONE OF MY TOP OTPS IN EVER AND I WILL NEVER LET GO OF THEM.

Meg McCaffrey: A twelve-year-old demigod daughter of Demeter. She is described as a colorfully dressed street urchin. She is fierce, bossy, and tight-lipped about her past. She has a grain spirit protector named Peaches. She becomes Apollo's master in The Hidden Oracle. Camp Half-Blood's forces stay at the Tower to help rehabilitate the Imperial children after the years of abuse they endured, but Apollo has to go defeat Python. Using the Labyrinth, he reaches Delphi in minutes. Meg took the quiet-car rules seriously. Since we’d boarded, most of the noise in the coach had consisted of Meg shushing me every time I spoke, sneezed, or cleared my throat.

Interview with Rick Riordan about ‘Tower of Nero’ and beyond

Line 5 is about the troglodytes and how they could dig an underground passage into the Tower of Nero. Apollo asks Meg what she's going to use as a weapon and Meg tells him not to worry about it. Nico is still fighting with the wolf from earlier and the skeleton bull he brought to life had finally collapsed. The germani spills the tray with the rest of the remotes Nero needs to try. As Apollo aims for Nero's chest, one of the three missing Imperial Children stabs him in the ribs. As Apollo struggles to breathe he sees Meg across the room fighting barehanded with Aemillia and another one of the missing demigods. The demigod who stabbed Apollo pushes the knife even deeper. Apollo cannot shake the demigod because he is too strong and as a desperate attempt shoves his thumb into his eyes and breaks free. He does not have the strength to aim another arrow and slips on his own blood.

In his haze of agony, the mortal god sees Nero smiling and holding up a remote. Apollo can't stop the emperor, Meg is too far away, the bull was now a pile of bones, and Nico was busy holding off other monsters. Powerless to do anything, Apollo watches as Nero presses the button. On October 7, 2021, he announced that he was working with Mark Oshiro on a stand alone novel featuring Will and Nico. [2]

Dionysus mentions Chiron is away discussion other end of the world related events with a cat and severed head. This mostly refers to Bast and Mimir respectively as Chiron states that the problems threaten more than one pantheon of gods. What Tower of Nero did was it started the battle 30 PERCENT OF THE WAY IN. 30. PERCENT. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH SLEEP I LOST STRESSING ABOUT THIS? LITERALLY THE ENTIRE BOOK WAS A HUGE BATTLE AND IT HURT MY BRAIN CELL. On a train to Manhattan, it is revealed that Meg and Apollo are looking to defeat Meg’s stepfather Nero and Apollo’s archrival Python so Apollo can become a god again. Apollo receives a prophecy from a two-headed snake that is killed by a Gaul named Luguselwa whom Meg calls Lu. She takes them to another car and tells them to ask to go to the bathroom when they reach the tunnel. They do so and Lu runs them to another car where she and Meg fake a fight while Apollo shoots the coupling connecting the cars together. When I am done with Tower of Nero, I will have no outstanding publishing contracts for the first time in roughly 20 years. I am sure I will keep writing books. I love it too much to stop! But I am going to allow myself a moment to breathe and enjoy the feeling of not being under a deadline. As to what I might do next, I have plenty of ideas aside from the one-off demigod novels I mentioned above. It’s too early to say which ideas I will pursue, though. Apollo is surprised by how pleasant the ride is as he expected to be dropped to his death when he first entered. Next to him, Austin is playing with the keys of his saxophone and Apollo can tell that he's anxious. Austin tells him that just in case that don't make it out of this, he wants him to know what he's enjoyed their time together. Apollo can't put into words how much that means to him so instead he settles for smiling and squeezing his shoulder. The doors open and as they approach the end of the hallway, Austin looks ahead using a mirror telling him there's guards and guests in the party room. Apollo recognizes the voice of the dryad passing along a message to the people in the room talking about some sort of burning that will start when Nero finishes up some issues. Austin offers to distract the guards so Apollo can go search for Meg. He doesn't want him to do this but Austin insists on doing so anyway rushing into the room playing his saxophone. Apollo slips past and heads towards Meg's direction.
