More quotes by Rick Riordan, The Blood of Olympus

"After his experience with Minos, Nico realized that most spectres held only as much power as you allowed them to have. They pried into your mind, using fear or anger or longing to influence you. Nico had learned to shield himself. Sometimes he could even turn the tables and bend ghosts to his will."
"A wind that blows aimlessly is no good to anyone."
"Nico found a sort of freedom in knowing that eventually, no matter what happened, he would end up at the foot of his father’s throne."
"Then Thalia Grace became their leader and started recruiting even more young women to their cause, which grated on Nico – as if Bianca’s death could be forgotten. As if she could be replaced."
"You will suffer, son of Hades!’ What else is new? Nico thought."
