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?

    i don’t understand why books have to have LGBTQ+ stuff in it. like sure, it’s out there in the world, but you don’t have to make it overwhelming. like it’s been mentioned at least 5 times in every book, and more now that piper is bi. even though it’s a real thing that doesn’t mean it has to be put out there in the minds of all the children who read it.
  • Shut up about LGBTQ+ poisoning the minds of children

    PIPER IS BI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 also aMaZiNg job Rick, u really broke my heart and mended it in this one! On a more serious note, dogs girl 58, what’s really not ok is how you think that people being in love is not ok. Love is love, and that’s just life. If your not ok with that, you can go and be homophobic in a area away from her, because guess what? People are gay, and people are lesbian, and people are bisexual. Please don’t hate on us for being in love. What if we said that being straight wasn’t ok? How would you feel? Being denied of love? I bet you would start feeling pretty bad about yourself. I’m not saying that being straight isn’t ok, being straight is a sexuality to, but I’m saying that acting homophobic is not going to stop people from being in love.
  • No. Unacceptable.

    Why. I love the Percy Jackson series, but with Rick Riordan poisoning the minds of children in this series, I can’t bear to look at it the same way I did before. Piper coming out as bi is not ok. It changes young readers minds into thinking that it’s ok, and I am scared for the next generation. Seriously, get off screens! Pick up the Bible and read true and pure writing! This- these books are deadly. I do not recommend any Percy Jackson books except the first and second book, The Lightning Thief and The Sea of Monsters.
  • Best booooooooooooooooooooook on earth

    One, it was very exiting and repellent. It always did the opposite or the exact thing I expected. That made it a good book. Of course, every thing you expected was in there with a few... unexpected things. No spoiler alerts , but I’ve read the whole thing. If you don’t like it, Then I don’t know how your mind works! ( Not that I would know anyway)
  • I LOVE TRIALS OF APOLLO

    Great books! I... kind of go Shelper.... but not really.. I think, if Jason was still alive, and he and piper didn’t brake up, they’d be perfect together.. (read the end of this book... shelper is Piper + Shel) anyways, great book! As a “daughter” of Apollo (I was able to tell by my awesome archery skills, love of poetry and my great guitar/ukelele/piano/flute skills.... plus a “Who’s your godly parent?” test) I find these books great! Now here is an acrostic I made about this series: A musing P erfect O verly amazing L ester is funny L ove the whole series O nly series that makes me laugh whenever u read it (in a good way) Now, everyone, GO GET THIS BOOK!
