4.0

This book was generally very good, but I can't help but feel that

Jason's Grace's death

in the previous book was

kind of like fridging

. They kept mentioning how Apollo felt super bad about it, and that was the only reason it happened. It felt unnecessary enough in that book, but this book kinda compounded that feeling.  Although it's kinda nice that 

Jason's death

still mattered to people after the fact and wasn't just completely dropped.

Lol it took me so long to finish this book. 

I’ve accepted that this series isn’t really for me, but I enjoy the world so I’m powering through. Rick, you made some really weird choices in this book.

Apollo and Reyna really? Thank goodness that never turned out to be anything.
