Just forced myself through the second half of this book in one sitting, which has nothing to do with the quality of the book and everything to do with me fighting off a crippling reading slump and an impending panic attack. Anyway!
Lovely as always. Will forever read absolutely everything new Percy Jackson - Universe related <3

This book was really good, despite how long it took me to read it. I am gutted by but love how it was handled. It gives the right motivation and helps Apollo’s character develop. The dryads were a fun cast of characters as well, and there were plenty of returning faces featured in this book.Â

First of all, what the hell Rick Riordan?? Pulling a stunt like that in the middle of a series nonetheless. I knew it was coming because there's a spoiler in the summary for [book:The Sun and the Star: A Nico di Angelo Adventure|63028719] (thanks for that, by the way), but I didn't realize it was going to come so soon in the series.Â
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!
