The Tyrant's Tomb (Trials of Apollo, The Book Four) | 
pickWe‘re charging full speed toward the climax of this series, and nobody is safe. Apollo‘s redemption is also progressing, and I just hope he can retain the humanity he‘s built. There were some genuine moments of peace and laughter, too, which was a nice respite. #SeriesRead2022 @TheSpineView
pickI quite enjoyed this book. It was a lot more emotional than the last ones and I like the build-up to the last book in the series. I (once again) really enjoyed the cameos of other characters and am excited to read the next book! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Life is only precious because it ends, kid.”
“If I‘m going to burn,” he said, “I might as well burn bright. This is for Jason.”
“Goodbye, Apollo,” said the Sibyl‘s voice, clearer now. “I forgive you. Not because you deserve it. Not for your sake at all. But because I will not go into oblivion carrying hate when I can carry love.”
Thanks so much for the tag @Ast_Arslan !
1. Hestia, goddess of the hearth, home, and families. Let me tel you, my devastation at her not appearing in the game Hades was unparalleled.
2. Tagged one... I think?! 😆

I noticed this book deal floating around and thought I'd post it here in case anyone was interested in having this one 😉 #bookdeal
I loved this quote. It seems to give me some hope about death.
pickThis book is in demand on my Libby app, so took time to get.
Thoroughly enjoyable though, the stakes definitely heat up in this book, 'Trials' is a pretty good word to use in this book.
,'Torment' would be another good one.
Apollo's past is a big factor in this book, even more so than the last 3.
As always, I love Rick Riordan use of mythology in his books, especially bringing to light more obscure stories and myths most people don't know about.
The wonderful @wanderinglynn and @TheSpineView tagged me for this #wondrouswednesday!
1. Tagged!
2. I‘ll confess a secret. When I was young, 9 or 10, I think, my dad read to me and my sisters the Chronicles of Narnia, followed by the Lord of the Rings. For months after, I made up stories of the grown up Pevensie children being dropped into Middle Earth. 😆
3. Yes! I love both, it honestly just depends on the author.
@Eggs
so-soApollo and Meg travel to Camp Jupiter to try and unravel the next part of the prophecy. We meet up with old friends and new, as Camp Jupiter must prepare for a final stand against the Roman Emperors.
This one felt more like a filler book than the first three. Apollo gets a little bit of growth, but it feels like not much advances, there‘s only battles. Although I would give my nonexistent first born for a novel just about Reyna. 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
Getting some #audioweeding done and someone wanted to help. And by help, I mean lay down on my foot so I can‘t actually move.

pickThis book was as fun as the others in The Trials of Apollo. I still like other series in this world a bit better, but it's still an enjoyable read. #fantasy #mythology #greekmythology #romanmythology #lgbtcharacter
pickYes! Seriously enjoyed this one and can‘t wait for the final book!
Thanks @bcncookbookclub for the tag!
The villains in this book were recently enjoying cocktails, but I don't remember what they were. So, I'll go with ambrosia, since the book is based on Greek/Roman mythology.
I don't have any active food bloggers I follow, but I enjoyed the Wordpress blogger Cartoon Cravings while they were active! #literaryflavour
pickFinished. Now to wait for book 5 to release in September. 😬
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Everyone deserved someone who could wash away their curses by making then feel loved."
Just gonna put this here
pickOnce again, stakes are raised in this book. After the previous book set the stage that anything could happen and no one was safe, this became a nail-biter. There were some pretty predictable parts in the story, but Riordan also pulled out some surprises.
I love listening to the Trials of Apollo series, they're so chilled out and really make me laugh.
“Never underestimate the power of thousands of human minds all believing the same thing. They can remake reality. Sometimes for the better, sometimes not.”
so-soGood, but not my favorite of his.
Book haul for December. The picture book behind the stack is Nali by Dan Sultan and Rhys Graham and illustrated by Tali Gal-on
I went Christmas shopping. Some of these a christmas presents to myself. It just happened 🤷♀️
'Life is only precious because it ends'
It's a good story. Really gripping from the start. Humorous at some points, gloomy at others. Eagerly waiting for the next one.
Reading was due from so many days, it feels good to have finished something. Hope the form continues.
#keepreading
pickThis is the best of the series so far! Fall 2020 is a long way away..
pickI‘m gonna kill him. I‘m gonna go crazy just like Hazel. FRANK!!! Oh My Gosh this book was amazing!! It had everything! Apollo has grown so much in understanding the “simple mortals” and the gods own demigod children. You see this? Growth. #RiordanPresents
Really put into perspective how people‘s minds can change reality around them #RiordanPresents
Tis the season for Christmas cups and cranberry bliss bars 😍
Definitely one of those days to curl up with a book.
I don‘t know where to start with this. I adore Reyna so much; she‘s such a powerful and amazing woman. So glad she‘s getting a nice spotlight in this book. And now a quest of her own with Meg and Apollo! #RiordanPresents
pickA mighty good adventure with new and old friends and foes! I really enjoyed this more than the previous one. I was so glad to meet some old favourite characters again and overall the story was just so good. Can‘t wait to read how it all wraps up next year!
The ONLY thing keeping me sane the last three days of sickness
Book 4. Yes. Yes he is. The god Apollo is still cast down as a mortal. Meg is still bugging him. Everyone from past books are here. Finally they got to Camp Jupiter! Now, let‘s see how they protect the prophecies before the old risen Roman rulers, Commodus and Ceaser, and sometimes Nero, come to fight to take over the world. #RiordanPresents
I‘ve been flying through this one and I‘m absolutely loving it! Apollo‘s bad haikus give me life and I love that we get to catch up with some of my favourite characters from the Heroes of Olympus❤️⚔️
pickSo much fun as always. Can‘t wait for the next even though it is the last in the series. Hopefully there are more 🤞
pickWhat a fun ride!
Old faces and a lot of feels.
Another mythical creature that was fun to see.
Honestly, I‘d forgotten this one was out this week and that I‘d put it on hold. That was a pretty great email to get letting me know it was time to hang out with Rick Rioridan, Apollo, and the rest of the gang for a little while. ☺️

My records show this still has a week to go before it's on shelves, but I saw it front and center last night at BN. Almost bought it.
