The Tyrant's Tomb (The Trials of Apollo, #4)

Rick Riordan

In his penultimate adventure, a devastated but determined Apollo travels to Camp Jupiter, where he must learn what it is to be a hero, or die trying. 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. Don't miss the exciting Book 4 in this bestselling series set in the Percy Jackson universe!

The Burning Maze (The Trials of Apollo, #3)

Rick Riordan

The formerly glorious god Apollo, cast down to earth in punishment by Zeus, is now an awkward mortal teenager named Lester Papadopoulos. In order to regain his place on Mount Olympus, Lester must restore five Oracles that have gone dark. But he has to achieve this impossible task without having any godly powers and while being duty-bound to a confounding young daughter of Demeter named Meg. Thanks a lot, Dad. With the help of some demigod friends, Lester managed to survive his first two trials, one at Camp Half-Blood, and one in Indianapolis, where Meg received the Dark Prophecy. The words she uttered while seated on the Throne of Memory revealed that an evil triumvirate of Roman emperors plans to attack Camp Jupiter. While Leo flies ahead on Festus to warn the Roman camp, Lester and Meg must go through the Labyrinth to find the third emperor--and an Oracle who speaks in word puzzles--somewhere in the American Southwest. There is one glimmer of hope in the gloom-filled prophecy: The cloven guide alone the way does know. They will have a satyr companion, and Meg knows just who to call upon. . . .

The Dark Prophecy (The Trials of Apollo, #2)

Rick Riordan

Zeus has punished his son Apollo--god of the sun, music, archery, poetry, and more--by casting him down to earth in the form of a gawky, acne-covered sixteen-year-old mortal named Lester. The only way Apollo can reclaim his rightful place on Mount Olympus is by restoring several Oracles that have gone dark. What is affecting the Oracles, and how can Apollo/Lester do anything about them without his powers? After experiencing a series of dangerous--and frankly, humiliating--trials at Camp Half-Blood, Lester must now leave the relative safety of the demigod training ground and embark on a hair-raising journey across North America. Fortunately, what he lacks in godly graces he's gaining in new friendships--with heroes who will be very familiar to fans of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians and Heroes of Olympus series. Come along for what promises to be a harrowing, hilarious, and haiku-filled ride. . . .

The Hidden Oracle (The Trials of Apollo, #1)

Rick Riordan

How do you punish an immortal? By making him human. After angering his father Zeus, the god Apollo is cast down from Olympus. Weak and disorientated, he lands in New York City as a regular teenage boy. Now, without his godly powers, the four-thousand-year-old deity must learn to survive in the modern world until he can somehow find a way to regain Zeus's favour. But Apollo has many enemies—gods, monsters and mortals who would love to see the former Olympian permanently destroyed. Apollo needs help, and he can think of only one place to go... an enclave of modern demigods known as Camp Half-Blood.

Strange Thoughts about the Implications of Legacies

So legacies exist, Octavian is an example of this. Meaning, demigods can have children; they are fertile. Ergo gods and humans are the same species. This isn't surprising; humans can become gods, eg. Ganymede. But it does leave to some weird concepts if you think about them. Because, continuing up the tree, gods are the same species as titans which are the same species as the primordials. Therefore primordials and humans are the same species. Gaia and Ouranos are the same species as all the main characters, and literally every person. Meaning everyone is walking around on top of one giant person, that they could (biologically if not physically, like with dog breeds) successfully procreate with (and create fertile offspring). That is so strange. Why are they the same species? Annabeth, when holding the sky, is holding up Ouranos. That's just one giant guy - of the same species!

I'm sorry, it's late and I'm very tired - but I was just thinking about how strange this is. I really feel like it would be less weird if demigods just weren't fertile. (I have also decided to ignore all magic explanations in the books, like the gods not having DNA, because that is 1.) less fun, and 2.) it doesn't really make sense either - because then all demigods would just be clones of their human parent.) I'm not entirely sure what the point of this post is - fun? screaming my odd thoughts into the void? Regardless, it is here. I would also love to hear any opinions on this concept - or any strange thoughts you've had about this series.

So I startet reading the Heroes of Olympus Series around the end of 2024 and I loooved it so much, I fell in love with the characters, the writing, everything. I startet reading this book in january of 2025 and couldn't put it down but as the ending came closer, I got so scared of any of these characters that I grew so attached to dying that I just couldn't bring myself to read it, I also didn't want it to end and ifact I put this book away for over a year. I don't quite know why but somehow I finaly found the courage to read the last 150 pages just now and suprise suprise I had so much fun. It still feels surreal that it's over.

This series was an emotional rollercoster and it's safe to say I loved this everything about it, this world and especially these characters, who from now on will have a special place in my heart.

The Blood of Olympus (The Heroes of Olympus, #5)

Rick Riordan

Nico had warned them. Going through the House of Hades would stir the demigods' worst memories. Their ghosts would become restless. Nico may actually become a ghost if he has to shadow-travel with Reyna and Coach Hedge one more time. But that might be better than the alternative: allowing someone else to die, as Hades foretold. Jason's ghost is his mother, who abandoned him when he was little. He may not know how he is going to prove himself as a leader, but he does know that he will not break promises like she did. He will complete his line of the prophecy: To storm or fire the world must fall. Reyna fears the ghosts of her ancestors, who radiate anger. But she can't allow them to distract her from getting the Athena Parthenos to Camp Half-Blood before war breaks out between the Romans and Greeks. Will she have enough strength to succeed, especially with a deadly hunter on her trail? Leo fears that his plan won't work, that his friends might interfere. But there is no other way. All of them know that one of the Seven has to die in order to defeat Gaea, the Earth Mother. Piper must learn to give herself over to fear. Only then will she be able to do her part at the end: utter a single word. Heroes, gods, and monsters all have a role to play in the climactic fulfillment of the prophecy in The Blood of Olympus, the electrifying finale of the best-selling Heroes of Olympus series.
