UPDATE: On further reflection I've decided to add a handy guide to help you get through this wait. We made it through the waiting.Īnd boy, was it worth it. "I SHALL SAY NO MORE TO YOU, BASE VILLAIN! THOU ART NOT WORTHY OF MY SAGE ADVICE! Things are beginning to escalate, but haven't reached PJO-HoO status. "MY WISDOM DOTH NOT SPEW FORTH ANSWERS AS IF 'TWERE GOOGLE." Very amusing way to observe Apollo's character evolvement. This rollercoaster of guilt keeps on the move throughout the story, and even more pronounced than it did in The Hidden Oracle. One instance, he'd recall something and regret his behavior as a god, and then another moment, he'd argue he was entitled to do so, even without reason. It's not predictable at all and quite unusual. It's interesting to see how Riordan has chosen to allow Apollo to look back to his godly days and regret every now and then. Even with the first person narrative in PJO, we had a number of sub-plots while moving towards doomsday, but ToA appears to have no sub-plots so far. Unlike in PJO and HoO, the storyline seems to be moving along the main plot line. I liked all the new characters, and hope at least some of them will make re-appearances down the line. Environs of Commodianapolis was interesting, and I have no complaints. "Defense Plan Omega - falling to my knees and begging for mercy."Īn entirely new set of vivid characters help move along the plot, which is somewhat longer than the first, while letting us meet a couple of characters we had encountered in PJO and HoO. As if it hadn't been funny enough with all the bad things which kept happening to Apollo, Leo is back, not only to add his own share of humor, but to torment Apollo whenever possible. With The Hidden Oracle's prophecy unraveled, our ex-god - demigod - ex-sorceress trio is already on the way towards the second stage of the journey. Quick note: there are spoilers for the Percy Jackson books, so maybe don't read this if you haven't read them yet.īlog | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Youtube

It is full of adventure, haiku and mechanical dragons, as well as some great LGBTQ+ representation (Apollo is, himself, bisexual). In this book, Apollo has left Camp Half-Blood behind and is venturing out to restore Oracles and - hopefully - regain his place on Mount Olympus after Zeus cast him out and made him human. But sometimes there is just something so delightful about a character who is definitely NOT a hero and doesn't even pretend to be.

Don't get me wrong, I praised the Percy Jackson series for being all about how a seemingly regular kid discovers he is actually so much more and proceeds to become a hero. Unfortunately, I missed the wall.Īlso, I just kind of love that Apollo is a narcissistic ass.
"Um.nah." I leaned against the wall, hoping to look casual, attractive and suave. And the plots of the other books seemed to move in similar cycles of prophecy-quest-resolution, whereas this and The Hidden Oracle contained more surprises. Percy Jackson and Magnus Chase - started to blend together after a little while, and their characters were hard to distinguish from one another. I think I like these Apollo stories so much more because they feel the most unique.
Apollo is just so sassy and snarky, and his disdain for humans rings with hilarious truth. I know all of these books have the same light, humourous tone, but none of the others seem to make me laugh so much. Honestly, Apollo is hands down my favourite character that Riordan has ever created. Unfortunately, the only thing that came to mind was weeping in terror.
