 Pretty good. Great cast of characters, great setting, and pretty good stakes. It was just a good balance of everything, and I never felt like it was dragging too much. The side characters were great. 

I liked the idea this book covered, with Apollo facing those he's wrong in his past (Apollo, jesus christ). 

Yeah, this one was good. I don't have any strong opinions about it; just solid all around. I would say that Burning Maze had higher peaks, but also lower lows. This one was more consistently good. 

Frank's fake-out death felt a little weird to me. But eh. I liked the "choosing destiny" bit, though.


If I had a nickel for every time a Percy Jackson character sacrificed themselves by voluntarily engulfing in flame, making everyone grieve, yet inexplicably surviving afterward, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
