The first rick riordan book I read was Demigod files and that was around two years before I read house of hades... It was so thrilling to see a very side character from a side quest have so much importance (even though he's a very important Titan smh)
His entry was so unexpected it still gives me goosebumps!! And the fact that nico had been taking care of him all this time while Percy was being ignorant TT
Percy's realization really really breaks my heart bc I found myself in him... And it made me think the same too...
Ugh i miss Heroes of Olympus i really wanna rr now
