my favourite of the series so far. the plot had so many twists and turns and for once (sorry rick) was not completely predictable. genuinely enjoyed this one and it was even quite emotional at times. i’m really starting to like apollo which makes a huge difference to the first book - a sign that riordan is doing his job

Best book in the series (so far). It was exciting, and I loved seeing Apollo's character develop and realize what being "mortal" means. I'm excited to finish the series and see the conclusion of Apollo's adventures!

I had a wonderful time with this book. I liked the plot and I adored the characters. I think there was a good amount of character development for Apollo.

Loved seeing characters from Heroes of Olympus show up in here, especially Reyna!!

I’m so glad that she became a hunter, and I’m so glad that we got to see Artemis and that it showed the powerful sibling dynamic that Apollo and Artemis have

 

Definitely some hard hitting moments with Jason’s funeral, and how everything in these books is affecting New Rome.

This was such an action-packed book that I’m surprised it wasn’t the final chapter of the series. Are they going to up the stakes in the next one? I hope so. Being from the San Francisco Bay Area though, I felt myself very distracted with this book taking place in the bay and making sure Rick was accurate in his descriptions. Which I would say he did good not great with it. This book also had one of my biggest pet peeves though: someone surviving a heroic sacrifice, I think it cheapens the moment and makes it mean less. Also Meg felt different in this book; I don’t think I’m starting to like her, but I also don’t think I hate her anymore. I think this series has really strong character development for a lot of the characters, even the minor characters but especially the main characters.
