Author’s Note: This article contains spoilers for the original five “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” and “The Senior Year Adventures” books by Rick Riordan.
While I don’t think Wrath of the Triple Goddess was as strong as Chalice of the Gods, I still had a lot of fun with it. And honestly, that’s what makes this reboot stand out. It’s not perfect, but it’s fun. I also just realised that this is the second Halloween-themed book I’ve read in two weeks… and it’s the middle of February. Oh, well.
I’ll try to keep this review as spoiler-free as possible, but since this is the second book in a reboot and the seventh book in the overall Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, there may be spoilers for earlier books.
For those unfamiliar with the series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians follows Percy, a seemingly ordinary kid who discovers he’s the son of Poseidon, one of the Greek gods. As a demigod, Percy is constantly pulled into dangerous quests, battling monsters, encountering gods, and trying to prevent the world from descending into chaos. The original series spanned five books, beginning with The Lightning Thief and concluding with The Last Olympian, chronicling Percy’s journey from an unsure kid to a hero who plays a key role in saving Olympus.
This reboot series, “The Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Senior Year Adventures,” picks up with Percy in his final year of high school. His latest challenge? Getting three divine recommendation letters so he can attend New Rome University with Annabeth. Because, apparently, even demigods can’t escape the stress of college applications.
Percy is once again on a quest to secure his recommendation letters in this instalment. Senior year is stressful enough without needing divine endorsements just to get into college, but that’s exactly where Percy finds himself. After retrieving Ganymede’s chalice in the previous book, he’s one step closer to New Rome University. Now, the goddess Hecate offers him another “opportunity”—all he has to do is pet-sit her enormous, slightly terrifying mastiff, Hecuba, and her devious polecat, Gale, for a week. Easy, right?
Wrong.
