Here, I’ll list several of the spoilers from the end of Tower of Nero by Rick Riordan, including some speculation about what could coming next. There’s something magical about these books that will always keep me coming back for more, and until the next novel is ready for our consumption, at least we’ll have all our old favorites to enjoy time and time again. It has all his usual trademarks - zippy one-liners, epic battles, heroic sacrifices, quirky characters, and deep friendships - and yet this emotional journey feels just as satisfying as every single one of the previous stories I’ve read.

In a sense, Tower of Nero is not too different from the conclusions to the many other books Rick Riordan has written over the years. Meg has shown incredible strength throughout her journey, and Tower of Nero pushes her to the limits, allowing her to show us exactly what kind of person she’s become. Speaking of Meg, I can’t miss an opportunity to praise Rick Riordan for putting a spotlight on mental and emotional abuse, and showing the kind of lasting effect it can have on children and young adults.

I won’t spoil it here, but Lu’s story is interesting, to say the least, and I hope some day we can learn more about her. That is to say, I was surprised by how delighted I was to spend time with Luguselwa, Meg’s former trainer under Nero. Luckily, Tower of Nero introduced a new character that surprised and delighted me. At the end of the day, he truly wants to help people, and I think he’ll get that chance sooner rather than later. While I’ll always wish for there to be more Nico content, this book is meant to be about Apollo, and I understand that our favorite son of Hades will have his own time to shine. Though he’s had his fair share of tragedies, Nico’s story, like many of the other demigods’ tales, is one of hope. He’s encouraging without being controlling. I love his relationship with his boyfriend because he doesn’t want to change who Nico truly is, but he does want to support him and make sure he’s not falling off the deep-end. Nico di Angelo and his boyfriend Will Solace play an integral part in this story, and my Tower of Nero book review would not be complete if I didn’t take moment for each of them.Īs is to be expected, Will is a constant ray of sunshine (in more than one sense!), who perfectly balances Nico’s darker tendencies. Camp Half-Blood remains a sanctuary for demigods from all over the country and beyond, and we get a wonderful sense of that in this installment.Īnd although we meet some new campers in Tower of Nero, it’s the familiar faces that keep us coming back for more. Everyone is still mourning Jason’s death two books later, which only acts as a realistic reflection of life and the grief people feel for their lost loved ones on a daily basis.īut while demigods always carry an overwhelming sense of despair with them - it’s part of the job description - there is a wonderful sense of hope, too. Jason Grace has not been forgotten, and I was pleased by how often he was brought up, discussed, and remembered in Tower of Nero.

Apollo has not lost sight of the price this journey has already forced him to pay.
