Synopsis :
How do you punish an immortal?
By making him human.
After angering his father Zeus, the god Apollo is cast down from Olympus. Weak and disorientated, he lands in New York City as a regular teenage boy. 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.
But Apollo has many enemies—gods, monsters and mortals who would love to see the former Olympian permanently destroyed. Apollo needs help, and he can think of only one place to go… an enclave of modern demigods known as Camp Half-Blood.
My Review :
My initial reaction when I heard that Riordan was going to write another series in the Percy Jackson World taking place after the Blood of Olympus was literally :
And what an amazin job he does too .
Its certainly one of the most funniest books he’s ever written and the first from a Narcissistic God’s POV .
Makes a pretty nice transition from the normal teenage demigod series .
And Oh I almost forgot to mention , we get see
*DrumRoll*
Most of the old cast including Percy , Nico and Leooo
BEST CHARACTER
Apollo .
He’s a funny , spoilt , narcissistic , blundering brat literally but you end up rooting for him . Some of the emotional scenes were just *.*
Mainly the reason why this book is so enjoyable and almost un-put-down-able .
BEST QUOTES
“Nothing is more tragic than loving someone to the depths of your soul and knowing they cannot and will not ever love you back.”
“Things can turn out differently, Apollo. That’s the nice thing about being human. We only have one life, but we can choose what kind of story it’s going to be.”
