2nd installment is just as good as the first. Apollo's humbling takes a gigantic leap forward, but not too much to stop him from making arrogant quips that resulted in my laughter. Honestly Leo is still my favorite character for humor in this series, and I'll be sad when or if he leaves this series. Sucks I have to wait until Spring for book 3, but I will read it when it drops. 4.25 out of 5.
