How do you punish an immortal? By making him human. After angering his father Zeus, the god Apollo is cast down from Olympus. Weak and disoriented, he lands in New York City as a regular teenage boy. Now, without his godly powers, the four-thousand-year-old deity must learn to survive in the modern world until he can somehow find a way to regain Zeus’s favor.
But Apollo has many enemies—gods, monsters, and mortals who would love to see the former Olympian permanently destroyed. Apollo needs help, and he can think of only one place to go . . . an enclave of modern demigods known as Camp Half-Blood.
This is a genuinely wonderful book. If you read and enjoyed the Heroes of Olympus books, Trials of Apollo will not disappoint. We get a little check up on all of our favorites and what they are doing, a smattering of nods to Magnus Chase, and plenty of that Rick Riordan pop culture humor.
Also, you have to appreciate the way Rick embraced the character of Apollo for this novel. He is just as sassy, just as silly as you would hope. His sexuality is not shied away from (in fact the book as a whole is very positive for LGB representation) and he is still made very relatable.
