I had a god time reading this book. Reading from Apollo's preceptive was funny and entertaining. I liked the snarking between Meg and Apollo.

Honestly, thank god this series has shorter books than the Heroes of Olympus series because I'm trying to finish them all before the new Percy Jackson book comes out in 2 weeks. Also, can I just say that Apollo is just casually like "I love all people" in this? Not only does it fit with the mythology, but a big deal isn't made about it, and I just love that in a middle grade fantasy.

Anyway! The tone of this one is fun, with Apollo trying to adapt to his human form. You get cameos from a lot of favorite characters from previous series, which I always enjoy. Interconnected series are always fun for me. 

Riordan is also great at making stories with high stakes still feel somewhat lighthearted. Like, there are some dark moments in this (because Greek mythology is dark at times, man), but it doesn't feel too bogged down. It's an overall fun read, and I'm looking forward to hearing more from Apollo.

Also, starting each chapter with a haiku? I loved it. Added to the overall tone of the book. On to the next one!

I really enjoyed this book! It was a little more slow paced than the PJO and Heroes of Olympus series, but was still really good.
