Description
Fantasy. Juvenile Fiction. Juvenile Literature. Mythology. It's not easy being Apollo, especially when you've been turned into a human and banished from Olympus. On his path to restoring five ancient oracles and reclaiming his godly powers, Apollo (aka Lester Papadopoulos) has faced both triumphs and tragedies. Now his journey takes him to Camp Jupiter in the San Francisco Bay Area, where the Roman demigods are preparing for a desperate last stand against the evil Triumvirate of Roman emperors. Hazel, Reyna, Frank, Tyson, Ella, and many other old friends will need Apollo's aid to survive the onslaught. Unfortunately, the answer to their salvation lies in the forgotten tomb of a Roman ruler . . . someone even worse than the emperors Apollo has already faced.… (more)

Trials of Apollo: The Tyrant's Tomb by Rick Riordan continues to follow Apollo and Meg as they work to secure the Oracles. Now at Camp Jupiter, Apollo must prepare to face a new threat, worse than even Caligula.

As with all of Riordan's books, this one is full of snarky sass, and wit. While there was plenty of action, I felt this book had a lot more character development. And just when you think Apollo has enough to challenge him, we get introduced to a tyrant king worse than the Triumvirate that must be overcome. Surprise! I quite enjoyed spending time in Camp Jupiter/ New Rome. Terminus is a big fave with his extra special snarkiness. Highly recommended!

Fingers crossed that reattaining godhood won't undo all that personal growth. As with all of Riordan's books, this one is full of snarky sass, and wit.

Good read.

As usual, it's great to see some characters again from previous book series. Apollo has grown so much as a person, and I literally read the last 4 or 5 chapters while crying. Uncle Rick just has a way of writing that's filled with so much emotion that you can't help it (at least I can't).

TW/CW: Death, injury, fantasy violence, scary sequences
RATING: 4/5
REVIEW: The Tyrant’s Tomb is the fourth book in Rick Riordan’s Trials of Apollo series. It follows Apollo and the demigods as they attempt to protect Camp Jupiter from an impending attack from their enemies.
I finally read this
As the pentultimate book in this series, I think that it sets the last book up perfectly, and I look forward to reading that as well.
I recommend this book to fans of Rick Riordan and of YA Fantasy (Yes, I would call this series YA instead of Middle-Grade).

book! While I’m still bitter about some spoilers at the end of Book 3, I actually was able to get back into this book this time and enjoy it. It’s definitely got some sad parts, and some tense parts, but there are also a good number of funny parts and exciting parts, even for adults.As the pentultimate book in this series, I think that it sets the last book up perfectly, and I look forward to reading that as well.

With how book 3 ended, I was a little worried for this book. It was suspenseful and heartwrenching, but it holds onto that humor that makes Rick Riordan's books so good. I'm so happy that no major characters died (even though we had quite the scares), and I also appreciate seeing how far Apollo has

come in terms of emotional growth since he first fell in the dumpster as Lester. Also, the fact that Reyna finally realized that she didn't need a partner and took the steps to do what was best for her was absolutely golden. I can't wait for book 5!! Show Less

Would've given it a weak five, but Rick Riordan still doesn't know the difference between a stepfather and a kidnapper.
