EDIT #3: Decided to drop this down to 4 stars because the more I think about it the more I was caught up in my own hype when I gave it 5 stars. I still loved it though!!

EDIT #2: Whilst I didn't love this as much as I loved The Hidden Oracle it was still AMAZING. It's no surprise that everything Rick writes is going to be a favourite of mine. Apollo is such a great character and I love his dynamic with Meg so much. I think the reason why I enjoyed THO more was because it was set at Camp Half Blood for a majority of the book. The way this ended though has me so pumped for the next book in the series. I CAN'T WAIT.

EDIT: IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!!!!!!!

I've never wanted something so badly in my life. The book hangover from The Hidden Oracle is beyond real and I need more!!!!!!

I am really loving this series and I think it's particularly because Apollo has become one of my favourite main POVs that Riordan has written. I know the voice of Apollo is similar to that of Percy and Magnus because they have all been funny in their own ways! But there is something different about Apollo. I am not sure if it's the blend of a more arrogant "god-like" perspective mixed with teenage morality, but it's just so fun to read from. I think the overall plot in this one was really interesting and had me at the edge of my seat because the situations felt a bit more threatening. I feel like these stories feel more unique due to the oracle perspective, Apollo's past and dream sequences, the different relationships both old and new that he interacts with - I just really enjoy everything that surrounds this series.
I was also very excited about the ending here; I cannot wait to read the next one! I'm so happy to be excited by series.
