Rick Riordan

Rick Riordan
True, you're the weakest of us all, but you're still one of the five, and there is power in collecting the complete set. He paused, then grinned. The complete Set! That's funny! Now let's consume your energy and entomb your soul, shall we?
Rick Riordan
Do not despair. Heroes rarely live up to to our expectations
Rick Riordan
I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the level of success I've had. I was just writing stories for my own sons.
Rick Riordan
And if I was humming Happy Birthday and smiling stupidly as I fled for my life—well, that was nobody's business, was it?
Rick Riordan
As we rose over the rooftops I caught my breath-well, if you can catch your breath underwater.
Rick Riordan
For what it’s worth: trust your feelings. I can’t promise that you’ll never get hurt again, but I can promise you the risk is worth it.
Rick Riordan
Until she met the exploding statue, Annabeth thought she was prepared for anything.
Rick Riordan

Rick Riordan
