This book was excellent. It was sad, but also handled so well. While I wish this part of the series didn't exist, it does. To be honest this isn't something I expected which makes it hit all the harder but also really highlights the severity in a way that otherwise just couldn't be captured. I just hope that Apollo makes the most of their position in the next book.

While this is written in a way that is appropriate and approachable for a YA audience, I'd recommend this for the more mature of the YA audience.wayward_sister's review against another edition

Anyway, this might be the best in the series so far because while the stakes were risen in the first two books, I feel like they're pretty high by the end of this one. Things keep piling up and it will eventually be up to Apollo to set everything right. There's also some great character development there, as we've seen him evolve throughout all of the books thus far. Some great emotional development, actually. Thoroughly enjoying that and Apollo's narration still.
We'll see how the next two books go, I guess!

Jason’s death actually didn’t affect me that much, maybe because I expected it, and more waited for it the hole book (I had heard that he was going to die, but examples from other books show that that isn’t the case)Spoiler
