I love everything that Rick Riordan writes and publishes and 'The Dark Prophecy' is no exception. This one is darker than 'The Hidden Oracle' and i missed Nico, Will and everyone else from Camp Half-Blood but we met some other very loved characters so i'm good. Can't wait for the third one, this one ended with a bang!
I honestly don't know how Rick Riordan's books keep getting funnier but they do somehow. Being in Apollo's head, while annoying at times, is hilarious.
I enjoyed this book but didn't *love* it. I think Apollo just doesn't appeal to me as much as Percy or any of the other Demigods, but it's really interesting and entertaining to have a new perspective. I'm excited to see where it goes next!

Yay, another awesome book by Rick Riordan! It has all the things I love about his books:
- scary prophecies
- DIVERSITY AHHH
- LGBTQ* people (bisexual Apollo!!!! a f/f parent couple!!!!!!!!!!!)
- mythical creatures
- more hilarious scenes than I can count
- death.
Well, not quite as much the last one but I do think all my favourite books include a bit of darkness and tragedy so... I'm okay with it. I was still very sad, though.
I really enjoyed reading The Dark Prophecy, besides wanting to shout at everyone to please be nicer to each other and to stop hitting each other and oh, why does no one in this universe ever get a break? My poor babies.
To be fair, the plot wasn't the most exciting one (in parts) and not the most original one, but it was still a lot of fun and there are so many moments that made me smile and laugh and wonder if Rick Riordan has a pop culture reference bucket list he wants to cross off before he dies! And some of the characters certainly had a very interesting character development, mostly Apollo. He is still an arrogant prick but he also cares way more about the people around him and that makes him so much nicer. I wonder how this continues.
I would like to order a spin-off about the Waystation characters, please. There is so much to tell there! Or just about the Waystation itself, I'm not picky. (that's the lie of the year)
Also, is Rick Riordan hinting on another series about a different kind of mythology?? Please tell me he is! And please tell me he's going to include this character because he is AMAZING!
I don't really know what else to say. Just that I'm so happy and also slightly amazed that after all these years these books still fascinate me like in the beginning, I still learn more about mythology, I still am thrilled and amused and I always want more.

It's not a bad book And Apollo a frustrating character to follow at times and compared to the many other Rick Riordan books I've read. I have a really hard time getting through this series. I don't think they're bad by any means, but in comparison to the other books I just find myself bored.
