Such a fun time being back in the Camp Half-Blood world! I didn’t love Apollo as a narrator as much as Percy, but all the sarcastic, funny comments and wit of the two previous series were present again and it just adds an element of nostalgia when reading, so I look forward to continuing the series!

enjoyed the 1st half but the latter half dropped the ball. felt like events didn't have much build up but still enjoyed the humor.

for sure in my top 3 of rick riordan’s books. lightly to read like always, hilarious jokes and a nice plot with good twists.
i’ve been sceptical about apollo as a narrator in the beginning but it turned out to be hilarious to read from his perspective.
the history references as well as the pop culture referneces are on point!
can’t wait to see roman fascist’s asses beaten up in the future books.

Quotes

Oh, why does college have to happen to perfectly good people?
I always appreciated it when humans sacrificed themselves to save me.
I had assumed that everyone talked about me all the time. I was so interesting they simply couldn’t help it.
The only biohazards we encountered were vegan cupcakes.
I often got sword fighting and tennis confused
Not all monsters were three-ton reptiles with poisonous breath. Many wore human faces.
They were presently on hold with Comcast customer service and might not emerge for hours, if indeed they survived the ordeal at all
(out of context)
I’ve turned too many people I cared about into flowers, Meg
I try to avoid weapons that talk. I find them rude and distracting
