My thoughts on Nico Di Angelo in Percy Jackson IV

    This is the fourth book in the Percy Jackson series so, of course, spoiler warning for future events.       Throughout the book a character named "Nico Di Angelo" or "Nico" is explored more than ever in the series, and although this is a book about the children of gods, I personally feel like Nico is really brought to life as the story continues. His backstory is that in book three, his older sister who has been taking care of him, passed away during a quest to save a place called "Camp Half Blood", which is a camp for the children of gods. At the start of the third book, Nico is portrayed as this happy twelve year-old who collects trading cards based on Greek mythology.       To make a long story short, Nico blames the main character, Percy Jackson, for his sister's death, and by the time of the fourth book, Nico ran away and now barely resembles his former self, no longer childlike in any sense of the word. This is especially clear...
