"You'll come back?" she asked.
"Always," I promised. "The sun always comes back."

¿Es predecible? Un poco, sí.
¿Lo disfruté? Por su puesto.
¿Es lo mejor que he leído de Rick? En lo absoluto. 
 Se siente no sólo como el final del viaje de Apolo, también como el final de una era... aunque probablemente esté exagerando un poco.
Sí me gustó pero no puedo evitar el pensamiento de que falta algo. Ver el crecimiento de Meg y Lester-Apolo y acompañarlos durante todo el proceso fue algo bonito y admirable, en especial el desarrollo emocional de Apolo, quien en un inicio era sumamente superficial; conforme avanza la saga, se vuelve más humano y entiende la importancia de todas las formas de vida, además del peso de todos los errores cometidos a lo largo de su existencia.
Mi partes favoritas fueron las interacciones entre Nico y Will, ellos son todo lo que está bien en esta vida. 

When he'd told me to remember being human, he'd meant building on pain and tragedy, overcoming it, learning from it. That was something gods never did. We just complained.
To be human is to move forward, to adapt, to believe in your ability to make things better. That is the only way to make the pain and sacrifice mean something.
