Publisher's summary

It's time to face the final trial....

The battle for Camp Jupiter is over. New Rome is safe. Tarquin and his army of the undead have been defeated. Somehow Apollo has made it out alive, with a little bit of help from the Hunters of Artemis.

But though the battle may have been won, the war is far from over.

Now Apollo and Meg must get ready for the final - and, let's face it, probably fatal - adventure. They must face the last emperor, the terrifying Nero, and destroy him once and for all.

Can Apollo find his godly form again? Will Meg be able to face up to her troubled past? Destiny awaits....

Marvelous

Narrator as amazing as always. This requires no further explanation.
Everything came to an end nicely in the end, and I just miss Bob...

Love it!! But am very sad it ended😭

I love Robbie Daymond's narration, it's great as always. I love how this ended but I'm sad it's the last Camp Half-Blood chronicles.

My main issue was that I (personally) felt didn't feel like there were very high stakes till the last 10 chapters, unlike The Burning Maze (the best) and The Tyrant's Tomb. However, I still love it as this was the ending of the chronicles and that we revisited (almost) everyone. I also loved Apollo's character development in this book. He is so different compared to The Hidden Oracle.

There are many other characters and things I love but I like to keep this short so those were my main thoughts. (and no spoilers so I'm not saying anything more)

Great finale of the series

There are some books which, no matter what small faults they might have, you will just love it. This was how I felt after finishing the final book from the series of Trials of Apollo.
The beginning of this story was a bit slow and I felt like I had difficulties to come back to it but I'm glad I didn't give up because after the 1/3 of the book I couldn't put it down and was entirely swallowed up by the story and what was happening there.
I absolutely loved the adventure, emotions and how the series has ended with the final battles. The last chapters.. I was crying and I was sobbing at the very end.
As much as this series had its ups and downs for me while reading, it will stay in my mind. And whenever I am going to be writing, reading or drawing.. I will think of Apollo smiling at me.

Perfect

I really liked both the story and the performance of this book,
I would recommend it to ppl at around 11-15 years old
I chose to have 5 stars at everything, just bc it deserves it, I actually learned a lot from this.
