The Trials of Apollo Book Summary
This book is about Apollo, a Greek god who has lived for around 4 thousand years.
Apollo was once a god who has now been cast down on Earth by his father, Zeus. It is a punishment for one of his former actions. This results in Apollo down on Earth in the form of an ugly mortal teenager called Lester Papadopoulos.
Numerous of Apollo’s enemies want to use this opportunity to kill him and to add insult to injury Apollo needs to go on a dangerous quest with the hope that after seeing his brave deeds, Zeus will let him back into Olympus – the home of the Greek gods.
He soon decides that it is best to serve a demigod on quests and journeys and chooses to assist a shabby young girl called Meg McCaffery, whose secrets lead to shocking twists.

Why I liked this book
I could not put it down.
The story is captivating and creative, with a few plot twists and even some humorous turns. I am a big fan of Rick Riordan’s many books, and this book has added to his portfolio of prodigious writing. It is a nice add on to his Greek mythology selection and Percy Jackson books. You should definitely read it, especially if you are into fantasy, fiction and thrillers. If you have read Rick’s previous books you probably know about Apollo’s usual self-obsessed behaviour but after reading this book do you think it might have changed?
