Out of all of the Characters in the Percy Jackson myth worlds, Apollo was my least favorite. I detested him in the first Trials of Apollo. Absolutely DETESTED him.

But because i LOVED, ADORED, help me i need another adjective for loved Percy so much, I tried the second book.

And now, I am starting to really like Apollo. I dont detest him anymore. Not even slightly irritated by him.

All i can say is Apollo is growing as a boy/god and not in the literal but in the emotional sense.

Now I cant wait for the next one.

If your like me and you were not an Apollo fan, just keep reading. I promise he gets better.

I'm actually enjoying this series so far. And I enjoyed how there are new characters but old ones show up too.

"'She is precious to you,' said the Oracle. 'Would you give your life in exchange for hers?'
I had trouble processing that question. Give up my life? At any point in my four thousand years of existence, my answer would've been an emphatic
No! Are you crazy? One should never give up one's life. One's life is important! The whole point of my quests in the mortal world, finding and securing all these ancient Oracles, was to regain immortality so I wouldn't have to ponder such awful questions!
And yet... I thought of Emmie and Josephine renouncing immortality for each other. I thought of Calypso giving up her home, her powers, and eternal life for a chance to roam the world, experience love, and possibly enjoy the wonders of high school in Indiana.
'Yes,' I found myself saying. 'Yes, I would die to save Meg McCaffrey.'"
