He fights using Gidigbo and Dambe, both West African fighting styles, and lightning, which I and Apollo in this writer’s world take to suggest godly parentage or patronage. He is a graduate student in accounting, working as a gladiator to support himself. Olujime is descended from the Yoruba people of Western Africa. Riordan has introduced another new character that I want to keep an eye on: Olujime (Jaime). I’d love to see more teen and child heroes raised by two women in love-or two men in love. They are also not just lesbians, but an older, married and settled lesbian couple, particularly underrepresented in children’s literature maybe partially because adults are so rarely the heroes in children’s literature. They loved each other so much that they left the Hunters of Artemis and its accompanying immortality. Jo and Emmie, new characters, are large characters too (and if you want to give us the continued or previous adventures of Emmie and Jo, Uncle Rick, I won’t complain). Their relationship, one in which I was fairly invested prior to the beginning of this series, serves as a good breaker of a subplot to Apollo’s narcissism. Here is Leo, already well-developed and greatly loved, and Calypso with him.
This is a story of overbearing fathers or fathers who overshadow their children-Marcus Aurelius, Nero, Zeus, Midas, Apollo himself, maybe even Ssssarah’s father should be included in the list (is that Tartarus?)-the weight that they put on their children, and the right and wrong ways to react to that weight.Īpollo seemed to me less annoying in The Dark Prophecy, whether because this is a god much humbled or because the supporting characters are larger, helping to balance him better. That title seems harsh, but it is nonetheless true.
