A review by tonisalvatore
The Dark Prophecy by Rick Riordan

4.0

With every book, Rick improves a little more. It's obvious he's working hard to better himself as a writer for tweens and teens. The representation in Heroes of Olympus was markedly better than PJO, with the introduction of many POC main characters, and now The Trials of Apollo are stepping it up even more, with many new (and old) LGBTQIA+ characters. He's not perfect by any means. He makes mistakes that have caused me to cringe once or twice. However, I think he was trying before it was mainstream or popular, and I appreciate that immensely.
