Overview

I have just finished with this book, Trials of Apollo The Tower of Nero. I don't know why but it always hearts when you comes to and end to such a long series of book or a long story.
I was connected to the Apollo's character and now I know that there won't be any book in this series further. I was eagerly waiting for put my hands on this last book. 
The Tower of Nero has arround 416 pages. I finished this book in single seating, and I loved it. I am not giving you any spoiler of this book.
The Tower of Nero starts with, Apollo and Meg ambushed while traveling. They made a new aly after they got captured.
This is where you can feel Apollo's maturity and his Character development. 
Rick Riordan brought all characters together when Apollo and Meg travels to camp half blood.
The Tower of Nero is a fast paced book. When they reach to camp half blood they only has 48 hours to defeat Nero. It is also a action packed book bit it has few comedy and funny moments which makes it a perfect blend.
Rick Riordan has also garnished Meg's character in this book. She's now totally transformed in the journey from The Hidden Oracle to tower of Nero.
Rick Riordan did a fantastic work with The Trials Of Apollo book series. I haven't read his other books yet but I can say that he has that talent to write a perfect Mythalogical Fantasy stories.
Obviously Rick Riordan brought happy ending for our hero "Apollo". As Rick Riordan has already finished building Apollo's character in last book that is The Tyrant's Tomb, Apollo looks fully matured from the beginning of this book.
God Zeus punishes Apollo and cast out him from Olympus. Readers will emphasized with his character as he learnt about true friendship and the sacrifices. 
The Tower Nero has that epic clashes between evil and good. 
There aren't any weak points of The Tower of Nero.

Strength of The Tower of Nero

  • Character building of Apollo is awesome.
  • You will get that typical happy ending.
  • The plot is filled with action scenes and those nail biting moments.

Quotes From The Tower of Nero by Rick Riordan

  • No story ever ends, does it? It just leads into others
  • So, dear reader, we have come to the end of my trials. You have followed me through five volumes of adventures and six months of pain and suffering. By my reckoning, you have read two hundred and ten of my haiku. Like Meg, you surely deserve a reward. What would you accept? I am fresh out of unicorns. However, anytime you take aim and prepare to fire your best shot, anytime you seek to put your emotions into a song or poem, know that I am smiling on you. We are friends now. Call on me. I will be there for you.
  • At last, as the sun went down, Meg seemed to understand it was time for me to leave. “You’ll come back?” she asked. “Always,” I promised. “The sun always comes back
  • Call on me. I will be there for you
  • Nico laughed, which I didn’t know he was capable of.

Final Verdict

I enjoyed The Tower of Nero and the whole series of Trials of Apollo. This last book is the most awaited one. The Tower of Nero is the perfect blend of nostalgic moments with character building and action pack scenes.
I am curious and excited about what Rick Riordan planning next.
