Not the strongest entry in this series (there's been a bit of a decline from book 1, through 2, to 3), but still quite enjoyable. Honestly I'm a bit biased because But overall, it has the same charm and fun of the other two books. Apollo is even more I'm still having a great time with the series. Looking forward to book 4. "When life gives you seeds Plant them in dry rocky soil I'm an optimist" The first half of this book was... Not it. Took me forever to get by and just sounded like more and more of the same. I was ready to proclaim it the worst one yet. but. BUT. Surprisingly. My exact problem with the previous one is what saved The Burning Maze: the special guests. As someone who neither loved nor hated Jason and Piper, I was so amazed by how well the two of them worked in this story. It really felt like developmental both for the characters and the plot, and not simply a marketing device aiming for nostalgia. I say this specially because I went in knowing about The Spoiler and I was so sure it was only for shock value that the emotional impact was actually unexpected. Jason's resignation and Piper's denial emphasize that this series really is darker than the other ones. Not everyone makes it. And Rick is not vague about it. I'm also really glad to see the impact this is having on Apollo. I reiterate how much I appreciate this protagonist and gloomier, nihilistic view of the Percy Jackson world. One does not survive four millennia with a mortal heart. He's finally changing and I hope we don't see this character development go just to create conflict on the next book.

Domare le fiamme di un labirinto infuocato dovrebbe essere un gioco da ragazzi per il dio del sole se soltanto Zeus non l'avesse trasformato in un adolescente imbranato e senza poteri! Armato di ukulele e di una logorroica freccia parlante, Lester Papadopoulos, in arte Apollo, non sembra avere molte speranze di riuscire nell'impresa, eppure è l'unico che può tentarla: dovrà attraversare l'abisso più rovente del globo per liberare la Sibilla Eritrea, l'Oracolo che vi è incatenato. Prima, però, sarà costretto ad affrontare Caligola, il terzo e più temibile membro del Triumvirato che ha fatto prigionieri i cinque Oracoli. Dopo aver nominato senatore il suo cavallo, l'imperatore ha ora una nuova e più eccentrica ambizione: diventare dio del sole! E per realizzarla è deciso ad assorbire la forza del titano Helios e la poca essenza immortale rimasta nel povero Lester. Come sempre, il più vanitoso degli olimpi non potrà che confidare nell'aiuto degli amici e arrendersi al destino: per tornare a essere un dio, dovrà accettare la propria imbarazzante umanità! Età di lettura: da 12 anni. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

The Burning Maze is the third book in The Trials of Apollo series by Rick Riordan. It follows the god Apollo who has been sent to earth in human (gawky teenager) form to finish a quest to save the Oracles.
This book broke my heart! I can’t believe it ended as it did. The first time I read it I kept hoping that he wasn’t really dead and that he’d come back somehow, but that doesn’t happen. Jason was my favorite character since The Lost Hero and killing him like that totally made me stop the series for…uh…three years.
I’m going to force myself through the next two books but I don’t think this series will ever set well with me because the author had to kill my FAVORITE CHARACTER.
Otherwise, this was a good book and a good addition to the series. It was well written and interesting, exciting and engaging.
This book is also LGBTQIA+ friendly.
I recommend to fans of fantasy and middle grade/young adult fiction. ( )
