As I purchased my copy of The Trials of Apollo, I knew I could rely on Riordan to deliver a great story and he didn’t disappoint. They are books I cannot stop reading and I’m sad when the book is over. Rick Riordan’s world of mythology, Greek Roman or Norse, is brought to life in the modern world with memorable characters like Percy Jackson, Magnus Chase, and Jason Grace. I could hear her say to her mom in the distance, “See I told you it was here.” She scooped up the book and ran back to her mom before I even found the section. As I made my way down the book store isle to buy The Trials of Apollo: The Hidden Oracle, I was passed by an excited young girl searching for her copy. I am always giddy at the release of a new Rick Riordan novel.
