an enclave of modern demigods known as Camp Half-Blood.įirst off, I loved that this book had a map at the front of it. Apollo needs help, and he can think of only one place to go. Now, without his godly powers, the four-thousand-year-old deity must learn to survive in the modern world until he can somehow find a way to regain Zeus’s favour.īut Apollo has many enemies – gods, monsters and mortals who would love to see the former Olympian permanently destroyed. Weak and disorientated, he lands in New York City as a regular teenage boy. I cannot wait for the sequel now, May feels like so long away! How those of you who read this when it first came out have managed the year long wait, I do not know! Here is a short synopsis of the book:Īfter angering his father Zeus, the god Apollo is cast down from Olympus. I loved being back in a world that is so familiar to me, these characters feel like old friends to me by now, though there are some new faces in this book.

I know some people say that Rick Riordan is milking the Percy Jackson world by doing so many series set in that universe but personally, anything he wants to write in this universe, I will read because I love this world and characters and this book was no exception. I was really excited when I first heard about this book because I knew it was going to be back at Camp Half Blood and hopefully featuring some familiar faces, plus Apollo has always been one of my favourite Gods, I love the way Riordan portrays him, he’s so hilarious, so I was really happy when I saw that this series was going to be all about him.
