This was a good book. It was wonderful to see some of the characters again. With Grover, I know there will be smiles and laughs. I used several tissues.

Anyway, this might be the best in the series so far because while the stakes were risen in the first two books, I feel like they're pretty high by the end of this one. Things keep piling up and it will eventually be up to Apollo to set everything right. There's also some great character development there, as we've seen him evolve throughout all of the books thus far. Some great emotional development, actually. Thoroughly enjoying that and Apollo's narration still.
We'll see how the next two books go, I guess!

-I'm glad her and Jason broke up I never cared for them as a couple, they were quite LITERALLY forced
-RIP Jason Grace, you had so many bricks to be smacked with ahead of you
-no but seriously why did y'all cry over that??? why did y'all suddenly start caring about Jason???? I say this as someone who was never on the Jason hate train I'm just confused????
-bout damn TIME Grover got some respect
-speaking of I'm never forgiving the PJO fandom for making Jason Percy's bestie when that was Grover, for everyone who did that this book is jUsTiCe
-I will ALWAYS appreciate a talking horse
-Leo asking "where's Jason?" did kind of break me
-I question how responsibly written Apollo is to sometimes make fun of and put down his body, I get that he hates being human but also the traits he's putting down are traits a lot of people struggle with ESPECIALLY in regards to weight
So far this series has been Apollo facing the consequences of his actions by being poor little meow meowfied. The Burning Maze continues the trend of book 3 in Riordan series being ELITE.
TWs: threatened suicide for self sacrificial reasons, death, some self deprecating jokes related to the protagonist being 'pudgy'
