5/7/2023 0 Comments The tower of nero bookRiordan does not shy away from having characters make the ultimate sacrifice, and The Tower of Nero sees that happen too, but it is the fantastical level of development we see in Apollo that makes this book and the series so memorable. Being all knowing is not all that it is cracked up to be. Readers have come to empathize with the vain and self-centered immortal, who has learned that there is more to life then being a god. In the form Lester, Apollo is cast out of Olympus. From the first page of the first book to the last, Riordan has never strayed from allowing Apollo to learn and grow from those who help him. Riordan has made his name for being the king of mythology stories, and for this last act in the ‘Trials of Apollo’, he pulls out all the stops to bring a thoughtful and happy ending for our main characters. Partnered with Meg, a refuge of Emperor Nero, the two make their way to New York City for a confrontation with Nero and Python in hopes of saving the world from their destructive acts. It’s the concluding act for the god Apollo who has been forced to take on the teenaged form of Lester Papadopoulos. Rick Riordan brings his epic ‘Trials of Apollo’ series to a close with the fifth and final book in the saga, The Tower of Nero.
