"Jason ONLY died for Apollo's character development!😤"
Okay. If that's true, then;
Bianca ONLY died for Nico's character development.
Zoe ONLY died for Percy's character development.
Luke ONLY died for Annabeth's character development.
Silena ONLY died for Clarisse's character development.
Anybody else see how stupid saying that is? Good. If Jason died for anyone, it was for his own character development and it was for Piper.
Do not erase Piper from his sacrifice. You are disregarding his entire story and character if you do.
Jason died for his friends. End of story.

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!

If I had a nickel for every time Apollo forgot his own name I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

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
