WHAT'S HOT
*The fast-paced action and the exciting climax.
*Piper and Reyna. They both really stand-out in this one. Talking about girl power!

Nico is also one of my favorite characters in this book. I am off to start Trials of Apollo next and I believe he is a bigger role in that series so yay!

I did tend to have my mind wander during this book a couple times so I couldn't give it a perfect 5 stars but it really is a great book. And I LOVED t ...more

Great ending! It was touch and go there for a moment at the end but everything worked out. Even for Calypso. Now I really want to go and read Trials of Apollo to see where they end up next or hopefully some sort of story on how these guys are doing. I just can't get enough of these two camps. ...more
