This was fun, it’s very interesting to see how a God would handle becoming mortal, especially when he has to rely on his children.
Trials of Apollo seems to be shaping up to be a fun read it’ll be interesting to see how this develops, especially as Apollo learns more about being mortal and what that means.

I enjoyed the book and the "fall from grace" storyline, but I can't say I enjoyed it as much as the author's previous works. The characters (mainly Meg) were irritating, and as much as I love Percy, I felt like he was just a name drop and him being the "white knight" made him seem like a flat character. I felt like the entire book was exposition for the coming series, and nothing truly exciting happened until the last 3/4 of the book.

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.

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
