I had a wonderful time with this book -- and reading the entire series. I liked Apollo, his character growth and learning what it meant to be mortal. I liked that Apollo reflective on his previous romantic relationships and he had awkward crushes on other characters.

A very cute conclusion to a very cute serious. Lots of suffering and this didn't hit as hard as other series have in the past, but it's still a good serious. The final battle with Python was fire and even if the ending was very neat and tidy, those hints at three more potential books were very sneaky indeed. Good stuff.
