Not the strongest entry in this series (there's been a bit of a decline from book 1, through 2, to 3), but still quite enjoyable. Honestly I'm a bit biased because But overall, it has the same charm and fun of the other two books. Apollo is even more I'm still having a great time with the series. Looking forward to book 4. "When life gives you seeds Plant them in dry rocky soil I'm an optimist" The first half of this book was... Not it. Took me forever to get by and just sounded like more and more of the same. I was ready to proclaim it the worst one yet. but. BUT. Surprisingly. My exact problem with the previous one is what saved The Burning Maze: the special guests. As someone who neither loved nor hated Jason and Piper, I was so amazed by how well the two of them worked in this story. It really felt like developmental both for the characters and the plot, and not simply a marketing device aiming for nostalgia. I say this specially because I went in knowing about The Spoiler and I was so sure it was only for shock value that the emotional impact was actually unexpected. Jason's resignation and Piper's denial emphasize that this series really is darker than the other ones. Not everyone makes it. And Rick is not vague about it. I'm also really glad to see the impact this is having on Apollo. I reiterate how much I appreciate this protagonist and gloomier, nihilistic view of the Percy Jackson world. One does not survive four millennia with a mortal heart. He's finally changing and I hope we don't see this character development go just to create conflict on the next book.

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 emperorâ??and an Oracle who speaks in word puzzlesâ??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.

The Burning Maze is the third book in The Trials of Apollo series by Rick Riordan. It follows the god Apollo who has been sent to earth in human (gawky teenager) form to finish a quest to save the Oracles.
This book broke my heart! I can’t believe it ended as it did. The first time I read it I kept hoping that he wasn’t really dead and that he’d come back somehow, but that doesn’t happen. Jason was my favorite character since The Lost Hero and killing him like that totally made me stop the series for…uh…three years.
I’m going to force myself through the next two books but I don’t think this series will ever set well with me because the author had to kill my FAVORITE CHARACTER.
Otherwise, this was a good book and a good addition to the series. It was well written and interesting, exciting and engaging.
This book is also LGBTQIA+ friendly.
I recommend to fans of fantasy and middle grade/young adult fiction. ( )
