Honestly, thank god this series has shorter books than the Heroes of Olympus series because I'm trying to finish them all before the new Percy Jackson book comes out in 2 weeks. Also, can I just say that Apollo is just casually like "I love all people" in this? Not only does it fit with the mythology, but a big deal isn't made about it, and I just love that in a middle grade fantasy.

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. 

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!

This book is so much fun, and I totally see why everyone loves Rick Riordan. I'll be reading many more of his books in the future, but I want to wait a bit to savor them. What a beautiful book for young folks to read with nary a terf in sight.

so fun to be back in the Rick Riordan universe.

I really started to like Apollo after a few chapter. Not complaining about my faves being included as well, Percy, Nico and Leo <3

I like the idea of the new storyline with all the oracles. Can't wait to learn more about the new character Meg, as well as continue to follow Will & Nico, Apollo & Meg, Leo and Calypso, Rachel and Percy.
