With The Tower of Nero being the last book in the Percy Jackson universe, it’s hard to believe this saga has finally come to an end and I swear, I haven’t felt this upset to say goodbye to a series since I finished Harry Potter.Īnyway, I knew I wanted to post this review on a special day, and what better day than today, my second blogversary! I started blogging as a hobby with no idea of how long I would have the motivation to keep going, but two years later, I’ve only grown more invested in it, and sitting down to write these posts is the part of my day I look forward to the most. This is the only major battle in the series to be broadcast on mortal television, albeit not directly shown.This review is one I have been both looking forward to and dreading writing all year.

Apollo revokes Nero's immortality and Nero dies with the last of his essence being absorbed by Python.Īfter the battle, Apollo's Cabin works to heal those on both sides. The god-emperor attacks them and he and Apollo fight over the fasces.

However, the trogs disable the system and moments later Rachel Elizabeth Dare, Luguselwa, and Screech-Bling arrive with Nero's fasces and demand his surrender. Just then Nero finds the remote for the gas. The son of Hades informs them that the campers know about the gas, but won't leave without them. Just then Nico di Angelo uses a dead Taurus Sylvestre to break down the door as fighting starts up in the throne room. Soon Meg unleashes her power and puts out the fires and strengthens the trees, she goes over the Apollo before standing up to Nero. He has a group of dryads attack Apollo as he burns one to get the others to cooperate. When Apollo arrives he mocks the mortal god by saying he only brings destruction where he goes and names some of the people and monsters who died around him. When Apollo learns of this he begs Nero not to do it and the god-emperor gives him fifteen minutes to come to him or else he gasses the tower. However, Nero has a backup plan in place, a system to pump deadly Sassanid Gas into every floor below the throne room. The campers attack the tower as the trogs sabotage the filtration system to keep the Greek Fire from flooding the sewers. When they learn that Nero plans to burn down New York City, the demigods of Camp Half-Blood storm his tower in coordination with the troglodytes. The Battle of Nero's Tower is the final battle in the Great Imperial War.
