I feel similarly about this book as I did with The Last Olympian—it was a fine book, but it was all battle or prepping for battle. But I do appreciate seeing Lester/Apollo's full character development. 

I also like the little change Rick does where he has the other characters refer to our sun god as Lester instead of Apollo, to show the main character's growth and humanity.
