Hooked from start to finish! This book right here had me laughing, angry, on the brink of tears and ready to throw hands. 
The characters are as lovable as I remember them to be and Apollo'scharacter development!? Amazing. One moment you laugh at him and the Arrow of Dedona and at some point all I wanted to do was punch the guy.
The same as all Rick Riordan books the plot just thickens and turns whenever a chance is given. Yes I had some foreshadowing take place too and I started to predict the plot near the middle but it was still an absolute blast to read

3rd book down! Glad to be over halfway through this series. Im about to start Daughter of the Deep and im excited to get out of Apollo’s head. There was a surprising amount of death in this book. I feel like it isn’t normal if Ricks work to have so much of it in his books but this was very grief stricken. The warrior driads were cool, I loved seeing Grover again, the Coach Hedge fight scene was funny and the whole Jason thing felt… unreal. No way.
