My MOST anticipated read of the year and it delivered! Quests, laughter, and full of nostalgia- what else can you want?! I can't wait to see where his next search for a college letter will take him. He's a golden drachma if I've ever known one. That he deals with Gods thousands of years old, and will always give them a chance to change their ways even when they absolutely do not deserve it. How on earth is he smarter, more caring, more understanding that anyone has ever given him credit for? I love that even when he's fighting monsters, he still tries to give them the benefit of the doubt and a chance. How did he grow up so fast? How is he going to be a big brother (we knew that). But this book was a nice reminder that no matter what he does in his life, no matter how many monsters he must fight, the goal will always be to keep going with Annabeth and Grover. Percy doesn't need anyone else to point that out for him, he knew it when the Gods gifted him immortality and he said no. Loving people, getting to live life beside them, that's the point. I'm almost thankful for it after reading this book simply because he learned so much faster than anyone else that growing up is the most important thing you can do in your life. Being a half blood doesn't allow you the luxury. He's never really been given a break to be a kid. With a Mom like Sally, how could he ever be anything but wise beyond his years? With Annabeth by his side, is it truly possible to be anything but special? He's always had the sarcasm of his age and the courage to never actually act that way. We're all grown up, and while Percy is still a teenager, he grew up with us, too. All of Percy's greatest hits lay before us so we could reminisce, and be reminded what it felt like to be a kid again. He knows how to drive a story home!Įvery page of this felt like a throwback to a core memory we built together as a group of kids just wanting to go on an adventure. Even if it feels like Rick will never leave me alone, his words will always be something I pine after. He was my very first best friend, and the comfort I felt turning every page of this will not be forgotten. I've had a pretty tough week, and boy was it perfect timing to be able to go on an adventure with Percy Jackson again. Readers new to Percy Jackson universe and fans who have been awaiting this reunion for more than a decade will delight equally in this latest hilarious take on Greek mythology by the "storyteller of the gods." Can Percy and his friends Grover and Annabeth find the precious cup in time? And if they do, will they be able to resist its special power? You see, one sip from it can turn a mortal into a god, and Zeus would not be pleased with that result. The first task is to help Ganymede, Zeus’s cupbearer, retrieve his golden goblet before it falls into the wrong hands. Poseidon breaks the bad news that if Percy expects to get into New Rome University, he will have to fulfill three quests in order to earn the necessary three letters of recommendation from Mount Olympus. Unfortunately, the gods aren’t quite done with him yet. After saving the world multiple times by battling monsters, Titans, and giants, Percy is now settling in at Alternative High School in New York, where he hopes to finally have a normal senior year. ![]() is much more of a Parisian neighborhood rather than a tourist area, so although we were the first inside at 7 PM (how do Europeans eat so late?!) we are so glad we chose to come here-the service was friendly and welcoming, the interior very cute, the food was so good, and even the house wine (€5 a glass…I love Europe) was delicious! While there, the restaurant started to fill up with locals and was completely full by 8 PM-which is always a good sign.Percy Jackson, modern-day son of Poseidon, is just trying to get through high school. We were recommended this place by our hotel in the 15th arrondisement because we had just arrived in Paris, woken up from our 3 hour jet lag nap, and we’re in need of some nearby good food to start off our trip!
