this book from the title is a little self explanatory yes it is about Apollo the god of music and yes there is a hidden oracle. But the begging of the book is about the god Apollo cast out of Olympus and falls to Earth to find out he is stuck in the form of a mortal for some reason that seems to avoid his memory throughout the book. He befriends a young girl and goes on a journey to try and regain his divine power as the god Apollo. He eventually gets visions that bring his journey even farther from his original intent and the book leaves the story unfinished since the book just came out the beginning of the month.

Readers I would recommend this book to would be people who enjoyed the Percy Jackson series this book even has connections from the book in this one. The quality of the book is great because they even added Old English to fit the language of the gods to make them sound more "real". Now people who are very religious that they believe reading a book about Greek and Roman gods is a sin I wouldn't recommend reading it since the main character is an x god. This book is a little long so if you are impatient and want the story to fix itself really quickly than this book isn't for you.
