I decided to read this book because my friend's brother was reading it and he said it was good. I really enjoyed this book and love how Meg drags Apollo(Lester haha evil) around. ;)

These books are so good!! Rick Riordan is one of my favorite authors! I have to say though I still love Percy Jackson more.
I just finished the Heroes of Olympus series and I LOOOOVED it. I really hope Leo Valdez is in this series

it was absolutly awesome. action packed and full of funny parts
Ahhhh…. My winter break read. Before we get started, I am just going to put it out there, Rick Riordan is an artist. (Speaking from an actual artist’s perspective). He writes with such flow and ease that it feels like he is simply moving a brush against a canvas. Too metaphorical? I know, I realized. My point is, is that Rick Riordan’s books are works of art. (Is that a better metaphor for you!?) His whole fandom is based on a sort-of fractured mythology. (That is a phrase that I just created). Now, let’s stop talking about the beautiful, enchanting works of Uncle Rick that I adore with a full passion, and start with TTOA; The Dark Prophecy. ***Characters*** As you all would know the main character is no other than (!) Lord Apollo himself, which you would know if you read the first book. In which case, WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING READ THE FIRST BOOK (AND MY FABULOUS REVIEW). Apollo (or poor pimple-filled Lester) – Apollo (or Lester) was the sort of character that you could not-not like. I loved being in his first person mind and reading how his thoughts about puny mortals (which I certainly am not) changed throughout the novel. For example- “ ‘Let the girl go,’ I whimpered through the pain. ‘Kill me and let her go’ “ And then, after his life flashed before his eyes, he thought, “I surprised myself. These were not the last words I had planned.” Meg McCaffrey- Meg was pretty, um, outgoing? She was the kind of person that didn’t really care about what will happen to her. You could say that she was Lester’s (Apollo) sidekick? But technically by the book, he really is her servant. You know what, I cannot explain this in a review, so GO READ THE NOVEL! There were other characters out there like Leo, Calypso, Emmie, and that other lady that was with Emmie that I forgot her name. Was it Jorge? Joe? Yea, it was Joe. Oh, and you can’t forget my buddy Lit! JUST LISTEN TO ME AND READ THE BOOK, YOU’LL UNDERSTAND MY JIBBERING… ***Build-up*** As I said in my first paragraph, Uncle Rick’s wonderful world is completely amazing. I, if you do not already know, am a rising author. I am trying to type a wonderful, original novel. Rick Riordan is GOALS, his writing is (I repeat) magnificent. His writing flows like paint. HE IS AN ARTIST! Okay, I’ll stop with the art references. In all, I really enjoyed this winter read. It was completely amazing and entertaining. And now, I bestow upon you a five-star rating. Congratulations, you stole Lana’s heart.

brilliant review!
I literally finished this book yesterday. I like this series and it leaves me in suspense. I noticed that the books keep ending where Apollo is about to go on a quest.
Percy Jackson is awesome and so is mortal Apollo!!!!!
Ok first off, did anyone check the haiku (did I spell that right?) At the beginning of each chapter? Lol and second, SPRING OF 2018 IS WHEN THE NEXT ONE COMES OUT!? TO LONG!!!
You did spell it right! Kind of a difficult word to spell.
Another great book from Rick Riordan-no doubt my fave author!This is the second book in this series and I so,so,so, SO am lovin' it.I! WANT! THE! NEXT! BOOK!
"There once was a god named Apollo, Who plunged into a cave blue and hollow, upon a three seater, A bronze fire eater, was forced madness and Death to swallow." LOVE THAT LIMERICK!!!
