belle2022's review against another edition
4.0
Probably my favourite one of the series so far. I was already spoiled for the death however it still hit really hard. Still unsure how I feel about Meg. Apollo grew on me a lot in this book. He’s humanity is really starting to develop. His under a lot of pressure though. Cant wait to see how this ends. Loved the edition of Piper. And Leo at the end

I have always loved Rick Riordan's writing. But recently, I feel as though he is only writing for the money. This series is not written well. It feels forced. All of the Rick Riordan fans I have talked to have hated this book series. All of them have wanted him to bring back Magnus Chase, but that series didn't earn quite as much money.

Structured and plotted in exactly the same manner as every other one of Rick Riordan's books, yet still feels creative and fun. Magic!
Also, I can't emphasize enough how casually, cheerfully queer this mainstream middle grade fantasy series is. Riordan's books were already popular when he started massively queering them up, so equal arguments could be made about whatever he had to gain or lose. However, it's clear he made this choice because he wanted to, and because it felt right for the story, characters, and his audience. And huh, oddly, the books became about a thousand times more interesting pretty much simultaneously! Coincidence?
*Apollo scoffs magnificently*
