“HITTEST ME WITH THY BEST SHOT” (Dodona arrow, p. I had to hope this would be one of those times.” (Apollo, p. Sometimes it leads to improvisational masterpieces, like the Renaissance of the Beat movement. “I often speak without the benefit of forethought. Okay, I have to say, this made me burst out laughing, imagining the gag reel version of Hunger Games’s Katniss Everdeen. To see him save the day as such is very impressive and shows great strength. I’m rooting for Apollo to get his head straight and rise to challenge of being mortal. If you couldn’t tell from all of the babble, this was just as enjoyable as The Hidden Oracle was.
#THE DARK PROPHECY EXTRACT SERIES#
Just like every woman that joins this series they’re no damsels.
They are truly admirable and certainly phenomenal women that have such a powerful story about how they left behind their lives as hunters. Nothing keeps them down or stands in their way. Now these are only two of the new characters because it would be quite rude of me to not let you meet some of these folk for yourself. There were also new characters! The group got to meet two women that used to be hunters but now reside in a special waystation-Hemithea and Josephine. “That’s not what I meant,” replied Thalia. But damn it, don’t you know by now that I’m crazy? No? Well…Onward! I really hope to see more interaction between the two of them in the future. Her interaction with Apollo back in Titan’s Curse is one that set me down the path of Thalia/Apollo. I love her! A daughter of Zeus turned hunter. And I don’t usually pick favorites, but I was beyond ecstatic that Thalia got a moment here. Calypso and Thalia Grace take on more than just the recurring role in this book. There were more returning characters!!! I’m more excited by the young women I got to see…read…see-you get it. So while it was all one spot, the scenes through the chapters were all perfectly fitting. If there was a tid-bit to explore it was explored and well-detailed. There wasn’t any one time that I felt like the story was dragging along because of this. While in the first book Apollo and Meg were running all over the place, though it centered around Camp Half-Blood, this one stayed put in the city of Indianapolis. We more or less stayed put compared to the previous book. Let’s just say the Kool-Aid man had a brief cameo. Though, I felt like the level of funny went up a notch. I don’t have much to say about the style and tone because Riordan does splendid in keeping both up from the previous book. The continued growth of humanity in the ex-god hit a soft spot with me. More didn’t just pop up after a few were destroyed. They aren’t just meager ants to him anymore. More so, I really REALLY loved seeing the realizations that Apollo was coming to in regards to his demigod friends and other aquaintances. He’s experiencing so many emotions it’s like seeing a newborn baby bird get shoved out of its nest, except he fell on his face instead of taking flight. He is getting to see just how dangerous it can get on the ground floor instead of just watching from a bird’s eye view. I don’t know why, but Apollo’s suffering really gives me a little joy. Just like the first one, The Hidden Oracle (review here), there was so much humor and fun. Already having gone through so much, Apollo has to stop him before they can even get to the next Oracle and before he destroys them. With Meg gone, Apollo relies on a couple of other, erm, friends to help him with the Oracles.įor some reason, Apollo and crew land in Indianapolis and just when they think there’s nothing happening-seriously, it’s flat land for miles and there was nobody around-a roman emperor that’s working with Nero makes himself known. It’s her stepfather, Nero’s, who just so happens to be an old enemy of Apollo’s.
Usually his demigod master, Meg McCaffey does all of the fighting, but she’s missing, which totally isn’t his fault. Capture Apollo before he can find the next Oracle.Īpollo is new to the whole hero-quest-business.
