You know what would help this boy? Demeter mused. Farming. Persephone rolled her eyes. Mother- Six months behind a plow. Excellent character building.
Rick Riordan
Poseidon’s trident was also all over the place, since Peter the Great wanted to stress Russia’s sea power. I especially like the trident on top of an obelisk -- what a great Egyptian/Greek mix up!
Rick Riordan
Staying silent, staying away from him... that was the hardest thing I've ever done.
Rick Riordan
No doubt Carter would describe the underground city in excruciating detail, with exact measurements of each room, boring history on every statue and hieroglyph, and background notes on the construction of the magical headquarters of the House of Life. I will spare you that pain. It's big. It's full of magic. It's underground. There. Sorted.
Rick Riordan
Gods tend to be selfish. Even when they're helpful, they always have their own motives. That's why you have to be careful about trusting them.
Rick Riordan
I'd come to respect the bag.

Maybe that's why he had started to fear suffocation. It wasn't so much drowning in the earth or sea but the feeling that he was sinking into too many expectations, literally getting in over his head. Wow...when he started having thoughts like that, he knew he'd been spending too much time with Annabeth.

You'd think getting chopped into a million pieces and cast into the darkest part of the Underworld would give him a subtle clue that nobody wanted him around.
Rick Riordan
So what if they were in Tartarus? So what if they stood a slim chance of surviving? He was so glad that they were together, he had the ridiculous urge to smile.
Rick Riordan
Chaos is impatient. It's random. And above all it's selfish. It tears down everything just for the sake of change, feeding on itself in constant hunger. But Chaos can also be appealing. It tempts you to believe that nothing matters except what you want.

After our mom died, her parents (our grandparents) had this big court battle with dad. After six lawyers, two fistfights, and a near fatal attack with a spatula (don't ask), they won the right to keep Sadie with them in England.
Rick Riordan
Percy: I thought I’d lost my mom forever, and I was stuck on a hill in a thunderstorm fighting this huge bull dude while Grover was passed out wailing. “Food!” It was terrifying, man.
Rick Riordan
Like water leaking through a dam, said Piper. Yeah, smiled Percy. We've got a dam hole. What? Piper asked. Nothing, he said. Inside joke.
Rick Riordan
Bessie?” I looked down at the bull serpent. “But… he’s too cute. He couldn’t destroy the world.” -Percy Jackson
Rick Riordan
You're alive! Percy said to the others. The giants said you were captured. What happened? Leo shrugged. Oh, just another brilliant plan by Leo Valdez. You'd be amazed what you can do with an Archimedes sphere, a girl who can sense stuff underground, and a weasel. I was the weasel, Frank said glumly.

Charlie … Silena’s eyes were a million miles away. See Charlie.

We were just looking at maps.

We ran, plowing through another pile of peppers. [No, I didn't pick a peck of them, Sadie - just shut up.]

Thalia blushed. Hi, Lord Apollo. Zeus's girl, yes? Makes you my half sister. Used to be a tree, didn't you? Glad you're back. I hate it when pretty girls turn into trees. Man, I remember one time—
