During that first 60%, I had no clue where the plot was going, and felt like nothing had really happened at all. I started reading this book in November, trudged through the first 60% over 2 weeks, and then put it down for nearly 4 months. The book is also filled with enough cameos from the stars of the previous series that it's clear that even Rick doubts Apollo's ability to draw people in.īut the worst part of this book was the pacing. Apollo failed to make me care about him enough.
They're kids' books, and I think it's great that children can have an accessible series that has this much content.īut this book just didn't do it for me. I don't think Rick is selling out or anything by continuing to write in this universe. Honestly, I found this book really boring. an enclave of modern demigods known as Camp Half-Blood. 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 favor.īut Apollo has many enemies-gods, monsters, and mortals who would love to see the former Olympian permanently destroyed.
Weak and disoriented, he lands in New York City as a regular teenage boy.
Favorite Greek and Roman demigods return in a new five-book adventure quest with a fresh twist: they're helping Apollo regain his immortal status.Ī clash of mythic intrigues and centuries of pop culture to thrill die-hard and new fans alike.- Kirkus Reviews
