Description

The formerly glorious god Apollo, cast down to earth in punishment by Zeus, is now an awkward mortal teenager named Lester Papadopoulos. In order to regain his place on Mount Olympus, Lester must restore five Oracles that have gone dark. But he has to achieve this impossible task without having any godly powers and while being duty-bound to a confounding young daughter of Demeter named Meg. Thanks a lot, Dad. With the help of some demigod friends, Lester managed to survive his first two trials, one at Camp Half-Blood, and one in Indianapolis, where Meg received the Dark Prophecy. The words she uttered while seated on the Throne of Memory revealed that an evil triumvirate of Roman emperors plans to attack Camp Jupiter. While Leo flies ahead on Festus to warn the Roman camp, Lester and Meg must go through the Labyrinth to find the third emperor--and an Oracle who speaks in word puzzles--somewhere in the American Southwest. There is one glimmer of hope in the gloom-filled prophecy: The cloven guide alone the way does know. They will have a satyr companion, and Meg knows just who to call upon. . . .

    Jason was perfect. Now that Rick has slaughtered him, I am really sad.

    Honestly I knew he was going to die from the start. Oh well, It’s better to just rip the band-Aid off but it still doesn’t hurt any less :( Also, poor Piper! I know that people hate on her, and that sometimes she just has some moments, but it’s still so hard to grieve for someone that was as close to you as Jason was to her. Also, to all the people complaining about Jason’s death: in Heroes of Olympus, everyone was complaining about how “nobody died” and “Rick is to attached to his characters, he’s never going to kill any of them off.” Please people, it’s extremely hard to write on book, much less multiple series.

    Great book until Jason Grace’s unfortunate death!! C’mon Rick!!! Jason was awesome in the Heroes of Olympus series! And now he just..... dies?! I mean I get it... that’s the life of an author. You gotta make people die. But JASON?! ... I gave this 4 stars because other than the unfortunate death, the books are great! I read all the Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus/Trials of Apollo books!!
