5 Golden Stars, Complete
for both this beautiful book & this amazing series

TOP 5 2020

it was my Most anticipated release of 2020 & it did an AWESOME job to live beyond my anticipation.
what's left to say?... Uncle Rick is a genius storyteller.
beautiful, emotional, Comedy, thrilling, quick read, everything!
this modernized mythology (somewhat) retelling of battle between Apollo & Python was EPIC! as always!
I'm speechless!
I laughed.
I whooped!
I cried.
a lot!
though my Top favourite of this series still remains "the Burning Maze", but this one is a close second.

we are back to New York
to defeat the Last Emperor

Riordan's endings are one of the most Satisfying ones in all the books I've ever read, each series, every books.
this journey also has came to an end, Apollo's mortal journey in modern world. I was with this series since the beginning, despite of the other two (trivial me!: I got to know this world (PJO) in 2014 I guess, & it took a year to finish that & I finished HoO in Spring 2016, if my memory is not faulty. so it's not like many fans to say "my childhood has ended" I was pretty adult when I started to know this world, but I feeling nostalgic anyway, it's like I knew them all my life. it's been a journey nevertheless, through 21+ books.), since book 1 in 2016, the releases, the anticipation, it was thrilling, hilarious, awesome.
& I'm happy to see Apollo changed this much through this, grown up.

I just can say thank you Uncle Rick, for making this world, all this series & particularly this one (because Apollo is my favourite god!)
I just love him.
I feel so happy, so lucky & so thrilled.

I was so afraid to finish it, but also dying to know how it ends. I kept up theorizing this whole year until the book came out. & now I'm joyously thrilled & also simultaneously sad because it has end. (that's the problem with the Great books! you want to finish it ASAP & also you don't want to finish the journey.)

I don't know what to say anymore... I feel emotional. I feel hollow.
I want to cry. I want to laugh.
the saga has ended!
What should I do now!?
what can I say? it was beautiful!

this review was more like a summary of how I feel, I didn't know what to say, how to contain my emotions or gathering my thoughts, because I didn't know how to write without giving any spoilers (I think anything I might say about who appeared in this book might be spoiler, so I let you experience that joyful moments of reunions all by yourself); so if you want long reviews about this series, you can check out the reviews of the previous books (up this page)
& I mean, anyway, if you are here, want to read the last book, you know Riordan, his books, Apollo & his style pretty well, right?

I sense a book hangover coming! or the sudden urge to re-read it again (or the whole series)

2023 Reread ooooooooh, now I understand why "that" moment was in Magnus book 3, they didn't know until then!

I let my Pre-read thoughts remain,

Anticipations
definitely a 5-star of 2020

it's the last book!
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!
I repeat!
It's the LAST BOOK!
*FANGIRLING PANIC ATTACK*

Pre-released
I waited so long for this one, Uncle Rick retold many important Greek myths in modern days & in the best way, we had the 2nd Titan's war, Gaea & the Giants, Circe, Calypso, Hyacynthus & many things, so yeahhhhh I was waiting for this one to happen. I can't wait to read it!
it's gonna be awesome!
I know it will be one of the top 5 of 2020.
it's the last book in this awesome demigods chronicles. (I made myself sad!)

I hope we see some Percabeth & Solangelo moments here. The gang is back on track.
I have some hypothesis, let's see...
OMG! SO AFRAID!


& anyway, I can’t be the only one wants to see a full 5-book series crossover between Percy Jackson, Camp Jupiter, Magnus Chase & Kane chronicles involving all the characters. A multi-dimensional, multi-mythical apocalypse; Riordanverse goes on a critical turning point because all the bad guys planning to rule the world?
