The nostalgia hits so hard, especially the humor and chaos I've always cherished since middle school.
The Chalice of the Gods left me yearning for more thrilling adventures that lie ahead. I can't wait to see where Percy's gonna look for his next college acceptance letter!

The Chalice of the Gods was a really promising start to what feels to me like the Percy Jackson Farewell Tour. It kept the fun and adventure of the original books and I really enjoyed how it focused on the original trio. As an older reader who grew up with Percy Jackson, I especially loved how the book was themed around growing up, touching on ideas like trauma and healing and the mentality of expecting that you'll die young.

Rick Riordan never misses with Percy Jackson! 

Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, and Grover Underwood are BACK in a brand new adventure—something I never thought I’d get to see! 

In “Chalice of the Gods,” Percy discovers that saving the world wasn’t enough to get him into college, he also has to earn recommendation letters from three separate gods. To earn them, the trio embarks on a quest to find a magical stolen cup that can grant mortals immortality. The three battle new foes and run into old acquaintances along the way with the same trademark sarcasm and humor readers have enjoyed since 2006. 

It was so incredibly heartwarming to read a new story about my childhood favorites and to see them taking on new adventures—college, serious relationships, and quests for Greek gods. 

While I’m already much older than basically everybody but Sally Jackson, it’s a great feeling to know that new readers get to grow up even more with these beloved characters.

It was very reminiscent of the original series and I loved it! The stakes are somewhat low with Percy doing quests to get college recommendation letters instead of fighting off the end of the world. It was so much fun and I was giggling and kicking my feet the whole way through.
