This is the third book in the series The Trials of Apollo.
Apollo, or Lester, has survived his first two trials, one of which was at Camp
Halfblood and the other at Indianapolis, where Meg received the Dark Prophecy.
The words that she said while she was seated on the Throne of Memory revealed
that an evil trio of Roman emperors plan to attack Camp Jupiter. While Leo, a Greek
demigod ally, flies ahead on Festus to warn the Roman camp, Lester and Meg must
go through the Labyrinth to find the third emperor and an Oracle who speaks in
word puzzles, somewhere in the American Southwest. There is still one spark of
hope in the sorrowful prophecy. Can Lester and Meg restore the third Oracle?
The thing about this series that will hook the reader into
it is the plot and the character development. Riordan uses a lot of different
techniques to make the stories interesting and gets a lot of people hooked into
the book. I would recommend this book to almost anyone because of how the plot
is built and the genre does not even matter, anyone can read this book. This
book would make you feel as if you are one of the characters because of the
effective use of imagery which plays an important role in the development of
the story. I believe that once you read one of the books you will be wanting to
know what happens in the next.
