"the sun always comes back"
after finally finishing trials of apollo i can confidently say it was worth it. this book felt like a warm hug. i love rick riordan's writing and the way he handles darker subjects so that younger audiences can understand. loved the wee nods to tkc and mc, and the set ups for tsats and tcotg (i can finally read them now😭). character development was amazing, i absolutely adore apollo/lester. im happy this book kept lester's humour and wit. this book was a great finish to a great series, the 210 haikus across yhe series were always amazing (i applaud rick for writing that many), and i cant wait to read tsats!! ty uncle rick🫶

(spoiler review) Okay, I think maybe the reason I wasn't liking this series was because Rick did too good of a job making Apollo annoying and self absorbed and ridiculous. I did quite enjoy this book and I liked how it wrapped up and I liked Meg's confident transformation, I liked Lou, I liked that they are trying to rehabilitate Nero's orphans, I liked Apollo's mental, and emotional growth. I also like the additions of Nico and Will and I'm very excited to see their book. It's finally time for Nico to shine. OH, also I like how everything wrapped up really well, all the loose ends tied up in a nice pretty bow, and New York did not explode! Woo
