Finishing The Trials of Apollo, it’s hard not to feel sad seeing Lester/Apollo’s journey coming to an end.

A bit unsatisfied with the conclusion of The Heroes of Olympus, I thought to go on to The Trials of Apollo as there was a spoiler for it in The Magnus Chase series. I don’t want to risk being blindsided once … Continue reading Book Review: The Trials of Apollo #1 – The Hidden Oracle by Rick Riordan
