[Courtney]

At last, the breathtaking, action-packed finale of the #1 bestselling Trials of Apollo series is here! Will the Greek god Apollo, cast down to earth in the pathetic moral form of a teenager named Lester Papadopoulos, finally regain his place on Mount Olympus? Lester's demigod friends at Camp Jupiter just helped him survive attacks from bloodthirsty ghouls, an evil Roman king and his army of the undead, and the lethal emperors Caligula and Commodus. Now the former god and his demigod master Meg must follow a prophecy uncovered by Ella the harpy. Lester's final challenge will be at the Tower of Nero, back in New York. Will Meg have a last showdown with her father? Will this helpless form of Apollo have to face his arch nemesis, Python? Who will be on hand at Camp Half-Blood to assist? These questions and more will be answered in this book that all demigods are eagerly awaiting.

Chapter 6
(view spoiler)[I love how Rick Riordan portrays abusive relationships in this one. It's so realistic. So many other YA/NA try and fail, because they try too hard and don't manage to make the abuser evil enough. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 10
(view spoiler)[Awww, but Apollo is right. One single day is not enough to procrastinate ( and doesn't that make him such a reliable character?) (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 12
(view spoiler)[I love the allusions to Rick Riordan's other series. (hide spoiler)]

He definitely has a way of doing that. I always hate all his bad guys.

Chapter 13 (view spoiler)[ Its nice to see Rachel again. I think she is crazy for wanting to go with them, but since Python just spoke through her its only fair I guess. I know she is tough, but she is still mortal. I'm worried for her. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 24 (view spoiler)[ Its finally starting to get good. They are unfortunately all separated, but its probably for the better. Also Lu is a badass. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Finished (view spoiler)[ I love how being human changed him for the better, and that he went back to say hi to everyone who helped him. (hide spoiler)]
