I feel like the cast of characters was quite the downgrade from the first two series. I liked the side characters and reoccurring demigods well enough, but Apollo was so insufferable, I hope he'll have grown as a person in the second book.

Also it feels like nothing happened until the big showdown? Feels like a more solid way of storytelling than the previous books, which were like video game quests, but I don't like change so it was weird to not have a bunch of little adventures.

Still liked the book tho

This was a reread and the first time listening to the audiobook. I wasn’t sure what to expect from this series, but it’s turning out to be very interesting. I like briefly seeing Percy, but it was also really nice to start to meet, or rather learn more about, other side characters. It’s also nice to see Apollo really beginning to see what his children go through on the daily.
