I liked this book but it doesn't feel the same as most Riordan books. It was far too comedic in really dark moments and I felt like that took away from me feeling the depth of the scene.
The characters were all too new for me to love them and not developed enough for me to feel much for them. I generally liked waystation and its residents but it didn't feel well fleshed out to me.
I really liked Apollo's growth in this though, he has much more compassionate and less self involved. I liked the animals in the book too, they all had their own personalities and quirks. Overall I liked the book but it wasn't as good as other uncle Rick books.

I really liked this less than the Hidden Oracle despite of Apollos slightly toned down personality. Old Apollo I could not stand (I didn't like him in the previous series either). Granted I can like a series despite not liking the main characters, it does effect my rating here a little bit. And that's because of the short seperations of the character groups. I didn't like the "only x people can go" strategy here and these mini quests were entertainable but I would have liked a huge consistent quest more. Because of this the "main showdown" felt flat for me.
