Trials of Apollo: The Tyrant’s Tomb by Rick Riordan continues to follow Apollo and Meg as they work to secure the Oracles. Now at Camp Jupiter, Apollo must prepare to face a new threat, worse than even Caligula. 

I read this book right on the heels of the previous one, only to realise it wasn’t the last in the series. Noooo! Now I have to wait for the last one! I love how much Apollo continued to grow throughout Tyrant. Fingers crossed that reattaining godhood won’t undo all that personal growth. 

As with all of Riordan’s books, this one is full of snarky sass, and wit. While there was plenty of action, I felt this book had a lot more character development. And just when you think Apollo has enough to challenge him, we get introduced to a tyrant king worse than the Triumvirate that must be overcome. Surprise! I quite enjoyed spending time in Camp Jupiter/ New Rome. Terminus is a big fave with his extra special snarkiness. Highly recommended!
