the trials of apollo book two the dark prophecy

'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.

I will be much kinder and more generous than everyone is being to me-especially that sorceress Calypso. or I really just don't feel like doing it myself. And unless I am sure the mortal can handle it. I vow that if I ever regain my godhood, I will never again send a poor mortal on a quest. Shouldn't there be a reward at the end of each completed task? Not just more deadly quests? Oh, the indignities and pain I have already suffered! Untold humiliation, impossible time limits, life-threatening danger. Despite all this, if I have a chance of prying her away from her villainous stepfather, I have to try.īut I'm new at this heroic-quest business, and my father, Zeus, stripped me of all my godly powers. And while I'm mortal, she can order me to do anything.

She betrayed me to Nero back at Camp Half-Blood. Meg, my demigod master, is a cantankerous street urchin. But why would an ancient Roman emperor zero in on Indianapolis? And now that I have made it here (still in the embarrassing form of Lester Papadopoulos), where is Meg? Those were the orders my old enemy Nero had given to Meg McCaffrey. If you cannot bring him to me alive, kill him. Capture Apollo before he can find the next oracle.
