Overview
Overview
The formerly glorious god Apollo, cast down to earth in punishment by Zeus, is now an awkward mortal teenager named Lester Papadopoulos. In order to regain his place on Mount Olympus, Lester must restore five Oracles that have gone dark. But he has to achieve this impossible task without having any godly powers and while being duty-bound to a confounding young daughter of Demeter named Meg. Thanks a lot, Dad.
With the help of some demigod friends, Lester managed to survive his first two trials, one at Camp Half-Blood, and one in Indianapolis, where Meg received the Dark Prophecy. The words she uttered while seated on the Throne of Memory revealed that an evil triumvirate of Roman emperors plans to attack Camp Jupiter. While Leo 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 one glimmer of hope in the gloom-filled prophecy: The cloven guide alone the way does know. They will have a satyr companion, and Meg knows just who to call upon. . . .

It'll keep you on the edge of your seat!
Larissa D. - 4 years 9 months agoI have been an avid follower of Rick Riordan's work since Mark of Athena came out back in 2014, and The Burning Maze does not disappoint. Quirky and hilarious, yet somehow still heart-wrenching, this book will keep you guessing at every turn. Even I was surprised, and I thought I knew all of Riordan's tricks!

Energetic, adventurous, and fun-filled
Amelia H. - 6 years 4 months agoThose who fell in love with Riordan's writing with Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and its epic follow-up, The Heroes of Olympus, will enjoy this sequel, the first series written from the perspective of a god. Experience more of Riordan's humour, quirks, and capture of the American teenage/young adult experience. Highly recommend for your #SummerReading!
