It's fascinating to me how Rick Riordan manages to make me laugh even in the most tense parts of his books. 
Apollo's character is really interesting. In the beginning he's pretty stuck up and self-centred. Soon though, he comes to terms with the mistakes he's made and the defects in his character. It's a pretty face-paced book and is only the first of a series, so I'm eager to see how this character arc proceeds.
All I can say for Meg right now is that she's cute and I hope she finds lovable people at CHB!

This book is so much fun, and I totally see why everyone loves Rick Riordan. I'll be reading many more of his books in the future, but I want to wait a bit to savor them. What a beautiful book for young folks to read with nary a terf in sight.

This book was fun and I plan to read the rest of the series
I loved meg so much and I got mad whenever Apollo trash talked her. If she ends up being an actual villain I'm gonna be pissed because she has literally been manipulated and gaslit her whole life so they better fucking save her
