The Trials Of Apollo: The Hidden Oracle Book Review
riordan.wikia.com

This past week I finished the book, "The Trials Of Apollo: The Hidden Oracle" by Rick Riordan, and I have to say it is one amazing book interconnected within the Percy Jackson universe.This story takes place pretty soon after the Heroes Of Olympus series ends after the battle of Gaia. In this installment the god Apollo has lost his divinity and has become a fully fledged mortal.

I know what you're thinking: what?!! Apollo the god of sun, light, healing, music, poetry, archery, reason and prophecy a mortal? You're insane! Just hear me out. According to Apollo who is telling the story he is being punished for what happened in the last installment of the Heroes Of Olympus series ("The Blood Of Olympus" if you want to know exactly what that is go and read that book) Apollo has become known in the mortal world at least as Lester Papadopoulos who is your stereotypical awkward, acne ridden, sixteen-year-old boy. Seeing as Lester is also the Olympian God Apollo he is also a bit of an egomaniac. Okay, fine, he's a giant egomaniac, better?

So Apollo, the average mortal that gets thrown down onto a dumpster and attacked by two thugs when all of a sudden a demigod girl named Meg comes and saves him and has become his trial master of sorts in which he is obligated to do whatever she says. Apollo, being the self-entitled prick that he is, doesn't think that this girl is his trial master and he hopes and prays that Percy Jackson (yes, that Percy Jackson) will claim him to be Apollo's trial master and not this small annoying Meg girl. Well, things don't go according to plan and when they get to Camp Half-blood and into the forest Apollo Feints. After this Meg ends up bringing Apollo the rest of the way to the camp to the big House where Apollo talks to Chiron who tells Apollo that bad things have been occurring.

According to Chiron Campers have been disappearing from camp with no signs of where or why. Also another thing that's been going on is that the Oracle of Delphi has stopped working and nobody has any idea why and because of this nobody can go out on a quest to find out what is wrong because you need the oracle to go and give you a prophesy to go and give you a quest to go on in the first place.

Apollo becomes a part of the camp and Meg gets claimed as a child of Demeter there is a death maze game that is invented by an eight year old child of Hephestus which goes into the labrynth this is THE labyrnth that goes all over the world. Apollo and meg end up in Delphi where the Python is with a mysterious figure who calls himself the beast.The Python isn't your average python this is a ten foot monster of pure distruction that'll make you pee yourself just thinking about it. These two are talking about controlling all of the oracles even the one called the cave of dodona. Apollo tells this to the camp and him and meg go into the forest where they think that this oracle is.

Apollo and Meg go and find this oracle but it turns out that Meg has been working for the beast who is Emperor Nero a very corrupt emporer who lived in ancient times. Nero gave Meg the idea that him and the Beast are two completely different people. Because of this Meg flees with Nero not wanting to anger the beast.

Apollo opens the cave of dodona and gets a prophesy that gives him an idea of what he needs to do next. We wiill see what that is in the next installment of the Trials Of Apollo.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
