The Chalice of the Gods by Rick Riordan

Image
  I never expected that there would be another book in the original Percy Jackson series. I was looking forward to reading it and it certainly didn't disappoint. Percy is almost done with high school, but before he can enter college, he needs three recommendation letters from Gods. And the only way to get that is to do random quests for whichever God needs something. First, he has to help Ganymede, who lost his golden goblet. He needs to find it before it gets into the wrong hands because it can turn any mortal into a god.  Nothing is ever easy or straightforward in Percy's world. He, Annabeth and Grover are back together and it's the best thing! :) It has all of the elements that made the Percy Jackson series so good, friendship, adventure and awesome mythology. The only thing that it hits differently is that the stakes are a lot lower...  ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ book info published September 26, 2023 number of pages 268 GoodReads Amazon happy reading, anie

The Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan (The Heroes of Olympus #5)

Image
The giants have all risen and the heroes are no closer to saving the Earth more than before. They are on a tight deadline. They have also been having nightmares of battle at the camp half-blood.  They all want to go back there and help their friends, but their quest is more important. So Reina, Nico and the coach shadow travel back west, while the heroes go east. It's the final book in the series and the stakes have never been higher. It's a good conclusion to the story, but I was honestly a bit disappointed with the ending. After all that build-up, it seemed a bit underwhelming. The one thing that I consistently didn't like in all of the books was the narration. I didn't like the POV switches, they didn't work as well as the first-person narrative in the first series. rating  ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤   cover  ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ Goodreads || Amazon happy reading, anie

The House of Hades by Rick Riordan (The Heroes of Olympus #4)

Image
The most intense book of the series! The stakes are higher than ever. Percy and Annabeth are in Tartarus, trying to survive and find a way out, in time, and they can't fail. Nico leads the rest of the team to the House of Hades. They have to arrive at just the right time if they want to save their friends.  It's so good! rating❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤  cover ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤   Goodreads || Amazon happy reading, anie

The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan (The Heroes of Olympus #3)

Image
Heroes are finally all together. They didn't have the best start, the peace with the Roman camp they were hoping for is long gone and they are planning on going after them.  They are on a ship, made by Leo, trying to come to the ancient land, but of course, it never goes smoothly for the heroes. Annabeth has a quest of her own to complete, she has to follow the Mark of Athena and find the statue that was lost for centuries. She is hoping that it will help bring peace between the camps, but the mission is not easy.  It's my favourite in the series so far- Percy and Annabeth are finally back together. :) And that cliffhanger at the end, omg! rating ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ cover  ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ Goodreads || Amazon happy reading, anie

The Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan (The Heroes of Olympus #2)

Image
Percy woke up from a long sleep, not knowing who he was or where he is. He spent the last few weeks getting trained by the wolf Lupa, who told him he was a demigod. Now he has to fight his way to the camp for half-bloods. But these kinds of things are never straightforward for demigods. The monsters keep attacking him and they seem to come back faster and faster each time.  He finally makes it, with a little help from Hazel and Frank, but the place feels all kinds of wrong.  Soon they have to go on a quest, to the land beyond Gods and face their own demons along the way. The danger awaits the heroes, new monsters, stronger, and deadlier than before and they don't stay dead.  The story is told from three different points of view. And Percy is finally back! :) rating ❤❤❤❤❤ cover ❤❤❤❤❤ Goodreads || Amazon happy reading, anie

Daughter of the Deep by Rick Riordan

Image
Ana Dakkar is a freshman at a five-year high school, Harding-Pencroft Academy. It's a prestigious school, for future marines, marine biologists, and naval explorers in the world. Since her parents died the school has become her home. The only family she has got is her brother, who is a senior.  When her class goes on a weekend trial on the sea, the whole part of the land, that house the school complex explodes. The rival school that they have been in conflict with for the last 150 years has attacked and her class is the only thing that can protect the legacy left. A few students with Ana in charge embark on a dangerous mission, all while on the run from the rival school. A retelling of 20 000 Leagues under the Sea, the story is full of adventure and nail-biting moments. Past and future merge in the story of survival, alt-tech, friendship and betrayal.  I was on the edge of my seat for most of the book and couldn't stop reading, it's so so good! Highly recommend it! rating
