the ending was even more beautiful than i was anticipating. apollo/lester's development through the series HOLY SHIT it's like you can't recognize the man anymore. i love that he went and visited everyone, it was such a nice way to wrap up the series. i loved seeing everyone again!

will & nico <3 can't wait to read the sun and the star. 

overall, while it takes immense patience to get through book 1&2, i'm so happy with how this series turned out.

Apollo I love you. Also, yes the ending made me cry. If it was the last book, it would have been a great ending for all the characters. But there’s so much to do (especially with the thing going on with the multiple pantheon)

adventurous emotional funny hopeful lighthearted sad

4.75

Oerhört bra serie av Rick Riordan!!! Den är rolig, underhållande och väldigt spännande. Detta är sista boken i serien om Apollon. 

Boken handlar om Apollon som blivit skickad till jorden av sin pappa Zeus. Zeus förvandlade även Apollon till en tonårspojke vid namn Lester. Nu måste Lester ta sig an ett antal utmaningar, tillsammans med hans härskare (och vän) Meg, för att kunna återta sin ställning som olympisk gud. 

Rekommenderar till alla som gillar Rick Riordan böcker, är intresserade av grekisk (och romersk) mytologi eller bara vill ha en bra fantasy bok att läsa. Jag rekommenderar att vara 10+ år. Oerhört bra bok och definitivt läsvärd!!! 

(Jag skulle dock rekommenderar att läsa Percy Jackson- serien först och efter den läsa Olympens hjältar- serien, innan man läser Apollon-serien men det är inte ett måste)

(spoiler review) Okay, I think maybe the reason I wasn't liking this series was because Rick did too good of a job making Apollo annoying and self absorbed and ridiculous. I did quite enjoy this book and I liked how it wrapped up and I liked Meg's confident transformation, I liked Lou, I liked that they are trying to rehabilitate Nero's orphans, I liked Apollo's mental, and emotional growth. I also like the additions of Nico and Will and I'm very excited to see their book. It's finally time for Nico to shine. OH, also I like how everything wrapped up really well, all the loose ends tied up in a nice pretty bow, and New York did not explode! Woo
