The Dark Prophecy by Rick Riordan

5.0

---

This book wasn’t as great as The Hidden Oracle. Not hating on this book on anything, but I felt like this book was a transition book in this series. I liked it but I didn’t love it. You know how everyone loved Leo in the Heroes of Olympus? I can’t find that feeling in this book - though I’ve grown to like Calypso and Apollo a lot more.The Greek Myths in this book was again top form and Rick was creative in using the Greek Myths as always. I don’t know if this is usual but I am feeling that the voice of Apollo can get quite nonsensical and trying to be funny for the sake of being funny. Other than that I liked where the story was going and all the character growth.

Recommendations

Finish the Percy Jackson and the Olympians and Heroes of Olympus.

SPOILERY DISCUSSION

This mostly has my thoughts when I was reading the aforementioned book.

Spoiler

I love Calypso so so much, she's such a funny person to be around and she's so resourceful despite being quite outdated. I remember not loving her in the first 2 series, it was definitely nice to finally love her.

This Waystation is quite an interesting concept.

Woah, that escape from the zoo was awesome. I really need some explanation as to when Calypso and Apollo have their godly powers.

Omg Meg singing just to get Apollo out of the river was so great.

Woah Apollo managed to turn into his godly form for a little minute? That was great though?

That Shakespearean prophecy though
