The Tyrant's Tomb (Trials of Apollo, The Book Four)
The Tyrant's Tomb (Trials of Apollo, The Book Four) | Rick Riordan
46 posts | 63 read | 26 to read
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.

We‘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

I 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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved this quote. It seems to give me some hope about death.

Reggie In Joe Hill‘s NOS4A2, a kidnapper kid‘s starts to get his bearings remembering the voices of his family and realizes they‘re never really far away cause they‘re always inside him, in his heart. It‘s a touching moment. This reminds me of that. 4y
Nute This is a lesson that I am struggling with right now. I know that I should see death this way, but this loss is so painful. 4y

This 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.

Apollo 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. 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑

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

bcncookbookclub Great! This cocktail sounds good, go with champagne in the recipe 🍾 5y

Once 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.

'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.

Bookish_Gal I loved this book. Thought it was gonna end up being the final one, but I guess there‘s one more for Nero 5y
ishan0986 At first I thought that too and in the end it was kinda pleasant surprise. I liked this series and the way things are presented. 5y

This is the best of the series so far! Fall 2020 is a long way away..

Sargar114 Oh no...is this another of Riordan‘s series I‘ll be addicted to??? Lol (edited) 5y
Purplerosiepage @Sargar114 Probably! It‘s not as good as the Heroes of Olympus series, but better than the Egyptian gods series. 5y
Bookish_Gal Finished this one last week. Agree that it was amazing!! Apollo has grown so much! Can‘t wait for the next one 5y

I‘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

Oli.reads Bro the ENDING!! Have u finished it all? I need to talk about it with someone 4y
Bookish_Gal @Oli.reads I loved this book!! I‘m always looking to talk about a book 4y
Oli.reads Omg. How do you feel that hazel is now preator? I kind of like it but it‘s scary bc she‘s like 15? But then again they‘re all kids. Also Apollo is growing on me and I‘m really glad Reyna is now a huntress. Also Thalia 🥺 4y
Bookish_Gal That surprised me, and I can see her growing into the part. I like to think that it‘s taken up to this second to last book for Apollo to really grow on me. 4y

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

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. ☺️
