❝But Will was right about what Nico had been through. He had been born in Mussolini's Italy. He had survived decades in the time-warp reality of the Lotus Casino. He'd emerged in modern times disorientated and culture-shocked, arrived at Camp Half-Blood and promptly lost his sister Bianca to a dangerous quest. He had wandered the Labyrinth in self-imposed, being tortured and brainwashed by a malevolent ghost. He'd overcome everyone's distrust and emerged from the Battle of Manhattan as a hero. He'd been captured by giants during the rise of Gaea. He'd wandered Tartarus alone and somehow managed to come out alive. And through it all, he'd struggled with his upbringing as a conservative Catholic Italian male from the 1930s and finally learned to accept himself as a young gay man.❞
-Trials of Apollo, Book 5: The Tower of Nero, page 97
[I talk more about this quote in my Trials of Apollo review in my spam, Huntress, but all I gotta say is: TOA is the best in the PJO series and I will not be taking criticism🙃]
