The Tower of Nero (The Trials of Apollo, Book 5)
Reviews
Apollo and Meg đ
Wow. I canât believe itâs over :( love you Rick đ
im fucking sobbing thanks rick everyone of them are thriving at the end and i love that for them thank god except the open ending unanswered questioned of why does nico keep getting this urge to go back to tartarus which um.... nico.. sweetie and i rly hope thatâs rick setting up for a nico book and we really went from âlook, i didnât want to be a half-bloodâ to âcall on me. iâll be there for you.â
The ending was beautiful :(
I canât believe I finished it⊠a very long journey I must say. 210 haikus, right? I started to read this book when I was in 8th grade of middle school, and now Iâm finishing my 4th semester of university. Heck a long time, isnât it? Iâm just glad Apollo was able to become a god again, all those sweat, blood , and tears happened. Thank you Uncle Rick for the great 5 books, it was quite an adventure.
HELLO I WAS NOT EXPECTING TO GET HIT IN THE FEELS LIKE *THAT* AT 3 IN THE MORNING
damn this was a ride
well this is the last book and i teared up many times during this. actually iâve teared up or started crying during every single one of these books. theyâre like the warm hugs that remind you that there is hope and light. apollo do be making me emotional all the time while giving me fuzzy warm feelings. the first half of this book in particular felt slow, but the second half gripped my heart and rattled it around and would not let go. iâm grateful i finally read this series.
âthe sun always comes backâ
SERU
Clearly a really fun read. No one can beat me but ToA are literally the best. ToA are my roman empire fr fr...
Uncle rick is unbeatable, but not as great as the original saga
Why Rick? WHYYYYYYY?
I'm fine. (view spoiler)[Also I can now add 'an arrow' to the list of things I've cried about. Thanks, Uncle Rick. (hide spoiler)]
Ahhhhh Percy Jackson finale books are always the most emotional, but a finale book to end all 3 series is just ALL THE EMOTIONS đ€Łđđ Apollo had alllllll the character development, all action was great, it was super funny, and still gave you all the warm fuzzies in the end đ So bittersweet, I can't believe it's over đ ... But OMG IT'S SO GOOD đ
Ce tome conclut officiellement la fin de mon voyage dans lâunivers des dieux de lâOlympe aux cĂŽtĂ©s des demi dieux ! Ăa va terriblement me manquer, Ă©tant donnĂ© que jâai plongĂ© dans lâunivers et me suis attachĂ©e Ă tout ça durant tout lâĂ©tĂ©, de juin Ă aoĂ»t 2022 je nâai pas cessĂ©e de dĂ©vorer les 15 tomes qui mâĂ©taient Ă disposition, en passant de « Percy Jackson » aux « HĂ©ros de lâOlympe » puis aux « Travaux dâApollon ». Je pense que cet univers restera Ă jamais lâun des mes prĂ©fĂ©rĂ©s, au cĂŽtĂ© de celui de Narnia ! Ils sont marquants, entraĂźnants et surtout trĂšs apaisant et immersif, jâai pu oublier le monde rĂ©el grĂące Ă eux ! Jâai hĂąte dâavoir les tomes en mains propres (puisque je les ai tous empruntĂ© oĂč lu en ligne) pour pouvoir y repenser et faire quelques petites annotations. Bref sur ce, que du love aux personnages et Ă lâunivers !! â€ïž
i can't believe it's over đ i am NOT okay đđđ
I can't imagine not giving this book 5-stars! This book had the unfortunate luck to try to live up to a lot expectations and the pressure to wrap up a legendary series. It wasn't perfect and there were things that I wished had happened that I went more in-depth on in my tiktok review (@tateslittlebookcorner) but I left feeling satisfied which is ultimately all that I was hoping for. Rick Riordan remains a legendary storyteller.
PIPER LESBIANđđ
What a journey this series has been! Im in awe with Riordan's style and stories! This book was so fast-paced and gripping that I hardly noticed time going by. Sad to see an end to this story but really happy with the conclusion and the self-discovery journey that Apollo went through. All in all a fantastic story! And like it is said - an ending is just a new beginning waiting to be discovered đ
** spoiler alert ** WOW! What an ending to 15 years of adventure and love. I am so glad that everyone got their happy ending (or close to one) and that it really did feel like an ending. I'll forever be thankful for the world that Rick Riordan created for us and Camp Half-Blood will always have a place in my heart. Also Piper being sapphic is my EVERYTHING. Like we all kinda knew,,,, but STILL!!! Having a female character that I admire also being interested in girls is always a win. Also shoutout for not burying the gays Rick, Will and Nico deserved that happy ending.
I was so close to gave it two stars, actually contemplating to gave 2.5 now. Very underwhelming for a final book, though I guess Apollo deserves an easy ending after what he went through.
The book as a whole amazing. the last chapter had me crying.
no review, just impeccable vibes. i will miss apollo and i am really, really hoping for a nico series, i love my boy.
Highlights
To be human is to move forward, to adapt, to believe in your ability to make things better. That is the only way to make the pain and sacrifice mean something.
Piper McLean was on the left. On the right sat another young lady
I knew it!! I called it!!!
Nico twirled his s'more stick. "When I was in Tartarus the first time, somebody helped me. And I -we left him down there. I can't stop thinking about him." "Should I be jealous" Will asked. "He's a Titan, dummy" Nico said.
BOB Iâm coming for you because now I can finally read the new book
The prophecy came true. Apollo fell, and Python fell with me.
FARE THEE WELL, FRIEND, said the arrow. APOLLO WILL FALL, BUT APOLLO MUST RISE AGAIN.
I canât believe that i will miss an arrow
Not throwing away my shot.
He found his inner Hamilton
Instead, I toppled into Rachel's arms and passed out.
The amount of times this guy has passed out during all these books
"No one hits my boyfriend," Will thundered. "And no one kills my dad!"
Lots of love to will
Some of the drama was lost, however, when Nero pushed the button and the shades on the windows began to lower.
I wanted to punch them all and then give them a big hug.
To destroy him, Id have to forfeit my own godhood forever.
So I did the heroic thing. I closed my eyes and wernt to sleep.
Nico smirked. "Friends, meet my glow-in-the-dark boyfriend."
Hey!" Nico turned from the window, his face pale with shock. We have to get out of here now. The cows are attacking."
Thatâs something I never thought I would hear
"Guys," Rachel said, "you forgot about me.â I stared at her. "What do you mean?" "Iâm coming, too." "Certainly not!" I protested. "You're mortal!"
Everyone there is Apollo!!
5 "What did it say?" Meg demanded. I tried to think of an alternative, but I was so tired I couldn't even lie. "Fine," I said. "We go to Percy Jackson's place."
PERCYYYYYYY oh I missed him!!!
At the end of the alley, taxis zipped down a busy street: Park Avenue? Lexington?
LEXINGTON WHOOP WHOOP
"Fine." She turned to her squad. "Iâll take them. The rest of you stay here and prepare to disembark."
I have the feeling she is helping them
âI held on to my purpose. I remembered Meg McCaffreyâs last order: Come back to me, dummy. Her face remained clear in my mind. She had been abandoned so many times, used so cruelly. I would not be another cause of grief for her. I knew who I was. I was her dummy.â
Ah, Rick. He never misses. đ
âRachel pulled out a blue plastic hairbrush and threw it at the nearest barbarian, beaning him in the eye and making him howl.
Rick really took this book and ran off with it cackling.
