Zoë threw up her hands in exasperation. I hate this language. It changes too often!

In person, if possible, Anubis was even more drop-dead gorgeous. [Oh . . . ha, ha. I didn't catch the pun, but thank you, Carter. God of the dead, drop-dead gorgeous. Yes, hilarious. Now, may I continue?]

I was glad to be with her, but it also kind of hurt, and it hurt when I wasn't with her, too.

I can't get through the year without getting kicked out or blowing something up.

I love teaching. I love working with kids... maybe some day I'll go back to the classroom. I'm not ready to say it'll never happen.

George unhinged his jaw and coughed up a little plastic bottle filled with chewable vitamins. You're kidding, I said. Are those Minotaur-shaped? Hermes picked up the bottle and rattled it. The lemon ones, yes. The grape ones are Furies, I think. Or are they hydras? At any rate, these are potent.

But how did you know where we were? Annabeth asked. Advanced planning, my dear. I figured you would wash up near Miami if you made it out of the Sea of Monsters alive. Almost everything strange washes up near Miami.

Amos clapped his hands. “Khufu!” I thought he’d sneezed, because Khufu is a weird name, but then a little dude about three feet tall with gold fur and a purple shirt came clambering down the stairs. It took me a second to realize it was a baboon wearing an L.A. Lakers jersey.

Desjardins was literally fuming. His tattered robes still smoked from battle. (Carter says I shouldn’t mention that his pink boxer shorts were showing, but they were!)

Hercules used noise! Brass bells! He scared them away with the most horrible sound he could- said Percy Percy... Chiron's collection!

The Minotaur unstrapped his axe and swung it around. It was beautiful in a harsh I’m~going~togut~you~like~a~fish kind of way. Each of its twin blades was shaped like an omega: Ω—the last letter of the Greek alphabet. Maybe that was because the axe would be the last thing his victims ever saw

There was Tyson moving into the Poseidon cabin, giggling to himself every fifteen seconds and saying, Percy is my brother? like he'd just won the lottery. Aw, Tyson, I'd say. It's not that simple.

Her hair is smoldering. Her face was smudged with soot. She had a cut on her arms, her dress was torn, and she was missing a boot. Beautiful.

The first lesson every child of Athena learned: Mom was the best at everything, and you should never, ever suggest otherwise.

Percy imagined what that would be like: getting an apartment in this tiny replica of Rome, protected by the legion and Terminus the OCD border god. He imagined holding hands with Annabeth at a cafe. Maybe when they were older, watching their own kid chase seagulls across the forum.

I'm afraid not. Hades sighed. My son here convinced me that perhaps I should prioritize my list of enemies. He glared at me with distaste. As much as I dislike certain upstart demigods, it would not do for Olympus to fall. I would miss bickering with my siblings. And if there is one thing we agree on - it is that you were a TERRIBLE father

Eternity with Artemis? He heaved a big sigh. Thalia rolled her eyes. You satyrs. You're all in love with Artemis. Don't you get that she'll never love you back? But she's so…into nature, Grover swooned. You're nuts, said Thalia. Nuts and berries, Grover said dreamily. Yeah.
