This book does still feel YA appropriate even with the content warnings.val_theburrowofstories's review against another edition

Anyway! The tone of this one is fun, with Apollo trying to adapt to his human form. You get cameos from a lot of favorite characters from previous series, which I always enjoy. Interconnected series are always fun for me.Â
Riordan is also great at making stories with high stakes still feel somewhat lighthearted. Like, there are some dark moments in this (because Greek mythology is dark at times, man), but it doesn't feel too bogged down. It's an overall fun read, and I'm looking forward to hearing more from Apollo.
Also, starting each chapter with a haiku? I loved it. Added to the overall tone of the book. On to the next one!
