I really did like how the characters dealt with the drama in the previous book. I loved being back at the new setting in this book and the older characters that we met up with. I felt that the pacing in this book was not as tight and hard to feel invested to keep reading. I still love apollo character and really loved his character growth. I felt the pacing was just not as strong and wanted it from this book. I am really excited to read the possible last book in this series late next year. I really did enjoy this read.

TW/CW: Death, injury, fantasy violence, scary sequences RATING: 4/5 REVIEW: The Tyrant’s Tomb is the fourth book in Rick Riordan’s Trials of Apollo series. It follows Apollo and the demigods as they attempt to protect Camp Jupiter from an impending attack from their enemies. I finally read this book! While I’m still bitter about some spoilers at the end of Book 3, I actually was able to get back into this book this time and enjoy it. It’s definitely got some sad parts, and some tense parts, but there are also a good number of funny parts and exciting parts, even for adults. As the pentultimate book in this series, I think that it sets the last book up perfectly, and I look forward to reading that as well. I recommend this book to fans of Rick Riordan and of YA Fantasy (Yes, I would call this series YA instead of Middle-Grade). no reviews | add a review

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. No library descriptions found. |

This was an interesting addition to the series. Battles were good, strategy and Apollo being his selfish and unselfish self.
This series is turning into an emotional roller coaster, a few beloved characters lost, and there is no time for grieving if the fate of the world hangs on one's shoulders.
It has its funny moments and heart wrenching. I still love Meg to bits and hope she would conquer her fear in the next book.
Apollo would surely learn his lessons, but does he ever?
I enjoy the intertwining of the myths, and this time, a little of Egypt. So well brought together.
This series is such a joy to read. ( )
