4.5 stars 
 A great start for a new series. I'm glad that I picked this book immediately when Trial of Apollo first book came weeks ago. Honestly, I want to read the Hidden Oracle first, and I have no intention whatsoever to read this book soon, but most people said that I need to read Heroes of Olympus first because it will be the huge spoiler for the new book. Without hesitation, I chose it and read it. 
 What I love about this book was the writing style (Third person view). I admired it because I finally can read what the characters thinking about their self and their opinion about another person. It was fun and hilariously entertaining. And the writing also the element of the book that made this book fascinating to me. 
 Even though I had a hard time to fancy the new characters, I still really enjoyed reading about them. Their characterizations get better and better until the denouement. If you ask me who my favourite character, I may say that Leo is my favourite, and it will always be. 
 His name is Bores? What is he, the god of boring? 
 She's got make up! Its a miracle! 
 He was so hilarious in the book that I literally laugh every time he made a joke, even though sometimes his jokes were stupid. No doubt whatsoever. 
 Other than that, what made me so excited about this book is the Roman mythology! I love Roman mythology. I like the gods and goddess names in the Roman version 
 (eg: Jupiter,Neptune, Pluto, Minerva, Diana, Mars, Mercury, and Et Cetra.) 
 But I still like Greek mythology, though. ^*^ 
 I recommend this book to you.
