The Tyrant's Tomb (The Trials of Apollo #4) by Rick Riordan - Restarting May 18th 2021

[Sarah Elizabeth]

In his penultimate adventure, a devastated but determined Apollo travels to Camp Jupiter, where he must learn what it is to be a hero, or die trying.

It's not easy being Apollo, especially when you've been turned into a human and banished from Olympus. On his path to restoring five ancient oracles and reclaiming his godly powers, Apollo (aka Lester Papadopoulos) has faced both triumphs and tragedies. Now his journey takes him to Camp Jupiter in the San Francisco Bay Area, where the Roman demigods are preparing for a desperate last stand against the evil Triumvirate of Roman emperors. Hazel, Reyna, Frank, Tyson, Ella, and many other old friends will need Apollo's aid to survive the onslaught. Unfortunately, the answer to their salvation lies in the forgotten tomb of a Roman ruler . . . someone even worse than the emperors Apollo has already faced.

Starting!

[Karen]

Up to ch4. Apollo really is unlucky, but I confess to finding this opening disaster quite amusing.

[Karen]

Up to ch11. Their arrival at the Roman camp shows how bad things have become. Pretty sure Apollo will recall what’s needed in time.

[Karen]

Up to ch23. Definitely not on a good place, but I’m hoping Lavinia will find a way to pull out a trick.

[Karen]

Up to ch33. The interaction between the characters is so well done.

[Karen]

Up to ch39. The battle seems to go one way, but I’m hoping for a swift about-turn soon.

[Karen]

Finished. I know I'm not the target audience for this, but it's a cracker. I'm loving the changes in Apollo, and the way other characters are taking a more central role on occasion. I'm getting concerned that Apollo might not get his wish to return to godly form - you have to hope his luck will hold out for just one more epic battle. Full review on home page.

Finished. I'm sorry I didn't get the notification. :(

25% (view spoiler)[ugh jason 😭😭 seeing his funeral brought back all the pain of watching him die in the last book. I think I’m still shocked by that happening. I’m happy to See Frank and Hazel again tho. Also I am so curious about Apollo’s reaction to Reyna. (hide spoiler)]

60% (view spoiler)[omg Apollo 🤣that was such a sad dating proposal. Poor guy. But damn I am also laughing so much. I am wondering if anything will happen there. I love seeing realize how horrible some of his past deeds were. If/when he becomes a god again will he change back tho?? (hide spoiler)]

80% (view spoiler)[so glad Sybil and that other god didn’t kill Apollo. I feel like he’s definitely changed a lot. I love meeting new characters and seeing my old favorites. I really hope Nico and Will pop up in the last book again! (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[ OMFG, I really thought Rick was going to let Frank stay dead. I can't decide if I wanted that to actually happen. Like right after Jason died idk it was too much, but now I'm CONFLICTED. IDK WHAT TO FEEL. I'm so glad Diana came through for Apollo in the end. I always love seeing her regardless her aspect. I'm kinda sad Apollo didn't get to try and woo Reyna, but I'm also SO HERE for her going out and discovering herself. I need the last book now (hide spoiler)]
