like people noted, both apollo and reyna seem too emotionally unavailable (hyacinthus/daphne, wanting to return to olympus vs. patricide and being a praetor) to form any meaningful romantic bond with anyone, including each other. doesn't make a potential dynamic between them any less interesting though, reyna wouldn't be obligated to act all praetor-like and formal to him since he has no place amongst either of the camps, thus he isn't in the position to judge her. if there's any GOT fans, if written well, i could see a bond between them being a lot like brienne/jamie.

regardless, there's way too much romance in the books so it would be nice to see a character remain single out of choice. I somewhat agree, but it doesn't matter what me you or anybody else wants,

Get the DUCK over it people. Yup! That's why its best to keep an open mind about these things. Any romance involving Reyna sounds intriguing, especially because we've seen her in harsh badass praetor mode for most of the time, but it could turn out to be extremely bad or good depending on the writing. my only gripe is that i hope its well paced and develops with the natural part of the story. the hidden oracle was good so far, but after all the ships in HoO i'm a bit leery...

the good thing about any relationship involving apollo is that it wouldn't be based on all those romance cliches; true love, longevity, teenage relationship angst, which really bogged down HoO imo. i think any romantic bond apollo would form would be based on feelings of true companionship and understanding/trust i.e seeing the other person for who they truly are. i expect something more thoughtful and mature. at this point i'm open to anything so long as it's written well. queen reyna deserves that.
