The Tower of Nero (The Trials of Apollo Book 5)

This is one of the most amazing books as well as the Last Book In Rick Riordan's Trials Of Apollo Series. This book is full of Rick Riordan's Humour And Expertise, I was waiting for this book as soon as Camp Jupitar: Classified was released. Although other Readers say that the first few chapters are not so great, I disagree. The first few chapters are sort of a recap of what happened in the previous book which is, by the way, the Tyrant's Tomb. The Whole Book is full Of Humour Said By Lester Papadopoulos("Or Should I say, Apollo"). The most definitely being The Lester-Nero Standoff In The Throne Room. Though I have To Say That Nero Is Pretty Cunning. (NO SPOILERS !!!!!)Anyway, The Plot Was Pretty Intense and It is Pretty Hard To Predict What Will Happen As the Story Progressed. The Story Started With Apollo And Meg Going To Fight Nero As Said In The Tyrant's Tomb. Yeah and one other thing I don't Recommend Going on to this book Without Reading The Previous Book As you might Not Understand Some Parts In This Book. Moving Along, We also find out that Percy and Annabeth are going to attend college in New Rome. Now with enough said we continue to theCONCLUSION: This Book Is Excellent as I said before. I would definitely rate this book 5 stars. As for What ages This is good for. Ummmmmmmm... It is pretty nice for anyone above I would say 12 Years.

First Impression- Just finished the book. Waited so long for this. Bit disappointed at the beginning but the final few chapters make up for it.Characters- Let me tell you 'Lester Papadopoulos' was never my choice for favorite hero but right after I finished this book, I realized he's up there with the others -- Percy, Nico, Annabeth, Grover, Jason, Piper, Leo, Frank, Hazel, Reyna, Thalia, Rachel, Luke, Will .. I'm going to miss them all. The final two books was more centered around Lester, his emotions, his struggles and his relation with others. Yes, Nico was allowed some lime light (given the fanbase he owns). I was a bit disappointed that Meg was sort of the first runner up to Lester. She lacked any major say in the final stand. Rachel had a decisive part as the Pythia. Will is also involved quite a bit. I loved all the dad son interactions b/w Apollo and Austin. Even Arrow of Dodona had a part to play. I didn't like Lu much. I thought she lacked conviction, a perfect backstory like the one we got for Zoe nightshade might have made her hero image convincing.Plot- I'm not going to give away spoilers. The first few chapters dragged on. There were few repetitive boring iterations of how messed up Lester used to be (I happily skipped). We had enough of that rubbish ! Lester was a dummy but he had earned my respect ever since the tyrant's tomb. Apollo's encounter with Python is a bit underwhelming. I enjoyed all the funny parts in the Apollo-Nero encounter in the throne room. What I really enjoyed was how Riordan wrapped up story of all the 7 demigods from heroes of Olympus (even Jason makes an appearance).Overall- Its a book worth reading if you want to feel at peace after 10 years of Percy Jackson. You'll feel like you've grown up just like Lester. However, I think tyrant's tomb is still my favorite in this series.(except perhaps the last few chapters)Future-I guess we'll get to see Nico and Will in their journey to Tartarus. I was so glad when I read they're talking about rescuing BOB(in other words 'Iapetus'). Perhaps Bob will get to tell the stars Hi after all. I'm sure rick is done with all the others characters, we may get few cameos from our favorite heroes, other than that he wraps up their stories in this book. Besides there were some hints on a collaboration b/w diff Rick Riordan universes and some mentioning of Celtic Gods.We'll see what he has in store for us. Already excited !!

I loved the entire book . I wasn't particularly invested in the series first but this Tryant's Tomb made up for itThe character devolopement for Lester was spectacular .Meg was decent in this book , I personally would have liked more Nero - Meg scenes . Nero the terrifying villain vs Meg .The first chapters were okay , Lugaslewa and the Introduction of Celtic Mythology is great .We got a satisfying end for the main six and one Not So Satisfying One .I hated Piper's end . It totally didn't make sense .I liked the Olympians -Apollo devolopement .Overall ,a must read and a satisfying end to Trials Of Apollo . (This is not the end of the Camp Half Blood Chronichles)SPOILERChiron held a conversation with a cat ( Bast ) and a severed head ( Mimir)Plus Nico and Will are probably going to Tartarus .

As usual rick rioardan has his way with fast witty writing and great heroes and complex theme. Although for some of his past books I have realised that the villains don't get the amount of complexity and the explanation of their motives and this in turn made me feel as a reader not scared of the villain. Voldemort for example was a great villain with tons of background plot but nero and python...just didn't. As much as the book was great and a epic conclusion in many ways, the lack of depth to the villain made me give this 4 stars.

Will change how you look at things for sure

chegou direitinho, super bem embalado, nenhum amassadinho nem nada. além de chegar no tempo previsto (3 dias)

Una edición de colección muy especial, solo hay 1000 y viene numerado!

I was like a lot of rick riordan fans waiting for a year for this to come out when I finished it. It was worth waiting for,it closes out Percy storyline but also opens the door to a new series focusing on Nico and Will and what they are up to.You won't be disappointed

It's Rick Riordan, so I excepted to love it, and I certainly have loved the rest of the books in the series. It was everything I hoped from it and I'm sad to see the series end, but excited to see what Rick will do next!
