I really enjoyed this book， just as I really enjoy almost all of Rick Riordan's work。 The problem with him putting out so many good books is that it can sometimes get hard to really appreciate just how good they actually are。 Anyway， this was a very enjoyable book， I'm looking forward to reading the next one。 I really enjoyed this book， just as I really enjoy almost all of Rick Riordan's work。 The problem with him putting out so many good books is that it can sometimes get hard to really appreciate just how good they actually are。 Anyway， this was a very enjoyable book， I'm looking forward to reading the next one。 。。。more

This has felt a lot like a Percy Jackson book， whereas the one before hadn't so much。 I felt immersed in so much history as well as the classic mythological stories that I felt really excited reading and learning more of that。It made me realise just how much I appreciated the romans （and I had sworn I was much more prone to the greek）。Anxiously waiting to start the next one as soon as I have the time。 It'll be interesting to see how Apollo will evolve as a character at last。 I just wish Rick Rio This has felt a lot like a Percy Jackson book， whereas the one before hadn't so much。 I felt immersed in so much history as well as the classic mythological stories that I felt really excited reading and learning more of that。It made me realise just how much I appreciated the romans （and I had sworn I was much more prone to the greek）。Anxiously waiting to start the next one as soon as I have the time。 It'll be interesting to see how Apollo will evolve as a character at last。 I just wish Rick Riordan would never stop writing about these characters and this universe。 It makes me all warm inside every single time。 。。。more

Probably 3 1/2 stars but I round up。 It was good。 I like the Apollo books as they are generally funny。 I like the little poems at the beginning of each chapter。

Depois de muito tempo consegui comprar o quarto volume da série “As Provações de Apolo” e， por enquanto， achei o melhor da série。Acho “As Provações de Apolo” uma série muito mais estilo do Rick Riordan do que “Herois do Olimpo”。 A narração em primeira pessoas deixa tudo mais alegre e mais próxima do Apolo， conseguimos de fato conhecer ele e conhecer os outros personagens através dos olhos dele。 O senso de perigo das missões parece maior e tudo soa como se tivesse mais impacto。 Prefiro narrações Depois de muito tempo consegui comprar o quarto volume da série “As Provações de Apolo” e， por enquanto， achei o melhor da série。Acho “As Provações de Apolo” uma série muito mais estilo do Rick Riordan do que “Herois do Olimpo”。 A narração em primeira pessoas deixa tudo mais alegre e mais próxima do Apolo， conseguimos de fato conhecer ele e conhecer os outros personagens através dos olhos dele。 O senso de perigo das missões parece maior e tudo soa como se tivesse mais impacto。 Prefiro narrações desse jeito。Nesse livro achei que a evolução do Apolo é bem visível。 Temos conflitos e mudanças na personagem que impactam nos acontecimentos da história。 Eu amei acompanhar Apolo aqui， ele é uma ótima personagem。 Frank， Hazel， Reyna e Maggie também estão ótimos，cada um muito especial e marcante a sua maneira， com destaque para a nova personagem， Lavinia， que ganhou meu coração。 Achei esse livro bem mais engraçado que a média， as piadas estilo Rick Riordan estão bem colocadas。Eu amo os livros de autor， que venha o último volume <3 。。。more
