My Review: 5/5 Stars 

What a fantastic end to an amazing series. This series was such a rollercoaster. It brought back so many amazing characters throughout the entire Percy Jackson world. I laughed (a lot). I cried (a lot). It was such a great series and this last book really did a wonderful job. After all the hardships Apollo has gone through he in in the endgame now. Apollo has learned so much during his time as a mortal. Lessons were learned and his character arc was fantastic. Few battles are left. It is time to defeat Nero and then his greatest enemy, Python. And it won't be easy. Apollo and Meg make it back to New York and gain a new ally. They see old friends and make it back to camp, ready to figure out a plan to take down Nero. Nico and Will (love them so much) and Rachel play an important role in this last quest. It was a very satisfying story and ending to this series. And the ending itself was a great way to wrap up everything we have come to love about this demigod world. You won't be disappointed in this final story. Love, love, loved it. 

Also!!! I see what you did there Rick at the end. Not gonna let it go. I need my Nico and Will book, please and thank you!! :) You may be done writing series in this world, but I'm pretty sure you won't mind writing some standalones!! Cause seriously, I need it badly!
