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.

Loved this book, and excited that there will be more in Percy's story. There is a lack of a "big bad" beyond the threat of not getting into college, but after what Percy's been through I think that's fine.

Docked stars as i had a hard time figuring out where this book took place in time. A few current references but Estelle is mentioned (not by name) who I already know about... I can't remember if it's Nico or Magnus Chase who comments on the name in a different book.

Seeing as Percy is a senior in high school and the story is "pre Estelle" it being set in 2023 doesn't quite make sense.

But this is something I feel like Rick has kind of done in HoO and Apollo and kept the references current and not cared for actual timelines. Didn't take away from the story, except I kept wondering why Estelle wasn't at dinner with them - so I was confused for a min.
