Memey to the max. Hilarious. What a cliff hanger. (But still not worst cliff hanger by him...)
Love all the old characters and seeing Apollo grow. Wow seeing some character development? Been a few books since then, Rick.
Excited for the next one! If only my holds would come in faster.... didn’t help that my holds for the next two books came in before I got this one.
WENCHES WITH WINCHES.

TW/CW: Death, fantasy violence, mild language, injury, mentions of child abuse

REVIEW: The Dark Prophecy is the second book of Rick Riordan’s Trials of Apollo series. The series follows the god Apollo, who has been changed into a gawky human teenager, as he attempts to fulfil his quest to restore all the oracles.

This book takes place in Indianapolis, and as a born Hoosier I couldn’t help but enjoy that part. It made it easier for me to follow the action, which was great.

This book also introduces interesting new characters and brings back some old favorites, as well as introducing the reader to interesting parts of Greek mythology.

This book is also LGBTQIA+ friendly and shows several non-heterosexual relationships.

I recommend this book to fans of YA Fantasy and of Riordan’s other books and series.
