The Dark Prophecy

"I will never rate a book by Rick Riordan anything lower than 5 stars"

"I want to start with a note for the parents, saying that though the Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus series were kid-friendly, these Trials of Apollo books are more PG-13 due to their graphic violence and gruesome descriptions, as well as sexual suggestions throughout (through narrations and other words). That’s at least how I felt while reading it. <br/><br/>Now to the actual book review, so far these books are really hard to get in to. Though the individual books show character development throughout, it’s like the next book starts from scratch and suddenly he’s unbearable again. I wish the character development would carry over so the books didn’t feel so annoying. Maybe it’s because I listened to them. I’m only finishing the series because I started it. Maybe (hopefully) my opinion will change."

"Beautiful "

"Debo confesar que no soy gran fanática de la serie de Apollo, me gusta, pero me emociona más la posibilidad de leer a los "<i>invitados especiales</i>" #ifyouknowwhatimean. Y los dos últimos capítulos de <b>The Dark Prophecy</b> me hizo soltar un chillido que ha reafirmado mi reputación de "persona extraña para tener alrededor"<br/><br/>Sigue sin enloquecerme esta serie, junto con los Kane siento que es el trabajo más "flojo" (por decirlo de alguna manera) de Rick, aún así las <b>POSIBILIDADES</b> me emocionan un montón. Ya quiero el siguiente!<br/><br/>PD: toda esa cosa que menciona y menciona otros dioses y otras culturas, más vale que no sea puro ruido para luego decepcionar a mi pobre alma fangirl. Rick sígueme educando e.e<br/><br/><b><a href="https://twitter.com/EllieIntheHat">Twitter</a> || <a href="http://el-extrano-gato-del-cuento.blogspot.com/">Blog</a> || <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/EllaZegarra/">Pinterest</a> || <a href="http://ellie-in-the-hat.tumblr.com/">Tumblr</a> || <a href="http://instagram.com/ellieinthehat">Instagram</a> || <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ElBlogDelGato">Facebook</a></b>"

"Decent second book. Feels like a lot of the same, but I guess that’s what happens when you write stories about demigods and always have them facing monsters. Apollo is growing on me - although I suppose he’s growing as a person../god so that’s to be expected? Maybe. Either way, he’s definitely less annoying!"

"This book/ series is a side series surrounding the Percy Jackson series. It’s about the quests Apollo must go on after being banished to earth"

"Update 9/20/24<br/><br/>The first part of these books are very slow then they get good for the final 25% and that's a consistent trend."

"I love the characters, particularly Apollo. However, this was a hard one for me to get through. The first was awesome, maybe it made a huge difference listening to an audio book. Loved book #2 but it seemed too long and drawn out"
