When the Trials of Apollo series is complete, can we expect to see any of our favorite Percy Jackson heroes again? Has he gotten strong enough, and learned enough, to overcome Python as the lowly Lester Papadopoulos?ĥ. Is Apollo ready for it? He beat Python before only because he had godlike power. This scene imagines what that final confrontation might be like. Not a spoiler, since we have known since book 1 that Apollo will have to face his old enemy Python, who has reclaimed the caverns of Delphi. I always love John Rocco’s cover art! This one, like many of them, is more thematic than literal. My ears are still ringing from the happy screams of fans, so I suspect they liked that news! We will also see Camp Half-Blood again, meaning Apollo’s children Kayla and Austin, and our old friend Rachel Elizabeth Dare. I teased this on my most recent tour, but Nico di Angelo and Will Solace play large supporting roles in Tower of Nero.
Is there a particular cameo you can tease us with? Is there someone fans are going to be really surprised or excited to see? But at the end of Tower of Nero, I hope readers will feel like they have a good idea what the future holds for the important characters we’ve interacted with, old and new.Ģ. I don’t like sealing off the future like that. Five books is a long arc! I don’t do epilogues, like “twenty years in the future, here are the names of all their kids and what kind of car they drive,” etc. The ending has to be satisfying for the characters and the readers.
In this case, that’s literally true, since Apollo and Meg return to New York where our adventures began. No, seriously, the fifth book is all about bringing the story home. My headspace is limited, so I try to gate-check most of my baggage before boarding the flight.
