Apollo is a snarky, arrogant, bisexual fallen god, so of course, I love him.

I’m going to be honest, I didn’t think I would end up reading this book because I grew annoyed of Apollo/Lester in the first book. I didn’t think I would continue this series. But once I got further into the book, man, was I hooked back in by the action and Greek mythology woven into this. 
Apollo/Lester may be growing on me. Just maybe. 
My favorite part was the reintroduction of the characters from PJO and HoO. My heart swelled whenever they were mentioned or stumbled into the scene. 
Overall, I enjoyed this book. It definitely still hooks you in with the mix of humor, fun, action packed plot with a side dose of emotional damage that Riordan manages to do. I’m interested in seeing how this plot unfolds!
