The Hidden Oracle (The Trials of Apollo #1) by Rick Riordan - Restarting July 18th 2022

[Dr. Andy]

I think Annabeth will be involved in the Magnus Chase series more. But I'm hoping to see the rest of the 7 throughout this series!! I want more Nico/Will and Reyna! I loved Reyna!!

[Jackie]

Nico/Will are so cute together! Doctors note.:):) And yes, I want more resolution to Reyna's story.

[Dr. Andy]

Maybe Reyna will get her own short story :D I will hope!

Chapter 4

(view spoiler)[OMG! PERCY IS GOING TO HAVE A LITTLE SISTER! AWW! I'm shock, Rick Riordan really knows who to development and make every character important. I already love Apolo, he is so egocentric, already love where this goes. (hide spoiler)]

[— Massiel]

Chapter 10

(view spoiler)[Apolo is a little different about his sons when others Gods just ignore their but Apolo even remembers every name and the Mother's name, wow.

NICO HAS A BOYFRIEND AND IS WILL, OMG MY BABIE GROW UP SO MUCHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'M SO HAPPY <3333. (hide spoiler)]

[— Massiel]

Chapter 17

(view spoiler)[ I'M LOVING APOLO SERIOUSLY <3. But to be honest I don't know where is going this plot, there is no at all is so different since there is no prophecy at all and Meg seems to be pretty unique I want to know more about her.

I CAN'T GET TIRED ABOUT NICO AND WILL. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH <3333 (hide spoiler)]

[Elsa]

Oh my God Circe you're so far ahead!!!

[Emily]

I got a little behind in starting this book and commenting on the thread - Sorry! I'm all good now, though. What do you ladies think so far?

[Emily]

Chapter 1 (view spoiler)[ I LOVE Rick Riordan's books. So funny! I'm only a few pages in and already I'm laughing at the characters. Meg is awesome. Apollo is ... Apollo. So. Very. Arrogant. I'm having fun getting him knocked down off his pedestal. Thinking Percy and the others owe everything to him - Pfft! (hide spoiler)]

[Emily]

Chapter 10 (view spoiler)[ It is so weird that Apollo is living in the Apollo cabin like he's a camper but really he's their father. So awkward. The chapter titles say it all. Part of me is laughing that everyone believes that he actually IS Apollo. It's not like he looks like he normally does. Then again, a person would have to have a lot of gall to stand up and say that he is a god.

Also, I'm loving Meg. She's a mismatched urchin, but she's pretty neat. I'm seeing a sibling relationship between her and Apollo. They annoy each other to death, but they are growing closer by the day. (hide spoiler)]

sorry!! rick's books are addictive 😍

[— Massiel]

@Emily Totally agree with you, they remaind me Scott and Stiles (Teen Wolf). I'm loving the book is a blame I don't have enough time to continue it

[— Massiel]

Chapter 24

(view spoiler)[Apolo is changing so much I'm shock. I still love him, he is so damn cool and I can't stop laughing. Btw, WHERE THE HELL IS MEG? I hope Apolo rescues her!!! (hide spoiler)]

[— Massiel]

Chapter 32

(view spoiler)[I didn't know Apollo surfer so much! I want to hug him so bad. I knew Meg was the bad guy here after the dreams Apolo had. I hope she really changes after all this. (hide spoiler)]

[— Massiel]

Finished

(view spoiler)[THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING! I want to read so bad the second book is a bummer I can't, too many buddy reads :(

I love the last chapters so much and I really was surprise Meg left, I thought she was going to stay and apologize with everyone I miss her in the battle I want to saw how she would fight.

LEO IS BACK BITCHES! Totally a plot-twist I wasn't expecting, so... I think the prophecy means Calypso, Leo, Apollo and Meg? I was hoping Nico and Will were there too, I love them <3.

About Apollo's powers that means every good "mission" or "action" he makes he will recover his own powers a little more but in special occasions? Is confusing to be honest.

I love the way Rick makes counts every character, in the first series Percy was the main, in the second series he distributes very well all the characters and in this one even when Percy appears the main character is Apollo. Rick is a genius. I can't wait to read Magnus Chase (is the only series left to read). (hide spoiler)]

[Emily]

50% (view spoiler)[ Apollo is so arrogant, but he's learning. His relationship with Meg is priceless. They are like siblings. It's interesting to me that there is no romance in this book. Although I'm wondering if Apollo's love who turned into a tree will somehow come back to life and he'll get another chance with her. There are so many things about trees, and I recall another character who was turned back from being a tree... (hide spoiler)]

[Emily]

75% (view spoiler)[ Apollo has a lot to overcome in this book. His arrogance and thinking he is so much higher than humans for one. I'm glad he is finally able to admit that he has flaws. That is a huge step in moving forward. (hide spoiler)]

[Emily]

Finished! (view spoiler)[ First, Meg?! She's been brainwashed, and I feel so sorry for her! It's so sad. I hope Apollo can find her. Second,
that talking arrow the disease arrows, and the huge statue ...
PRICELESS. This is why I love this author. His books are hilarious!
And what's with the Irish Stepdancing that keeps popping up?
Third, I really want to know what happens when Apollo broke his promise on the River Styx. It is a serious oath, and he screwed it up majorly. But he hasn't had any consequences yet. I want to know what will happen. (hide spoiler)]

[— Massiel]

Emily wrote: "75% [spoilers removed]"

Yes!
He changes a lot but I still love how arrogant he is, is amazing.

[Tiera]

I'd love to join this BR! I've had this audio on hold in the library for 3 months now.. 8 days left on hold so I should get it just in time!

[Courtney]

Yay! That means someone will actually talk to me about it. Lol (Every Rick Riordan buddy I set up no one else shows up)

[Shar]

I'll be reading it eventually but I'm a little behind on my buddy reads haha oops

[Courtney]

I thought this started on the 18th? Opps I have fallen behind as well. I will get to it in the next couple days hopefully.

[Tiera]

Unfortunately I had an overdue book and wouldn't let me grab it off overdrive and then when i took the overdue book back and paid my fine it said I already had it checked out and only gave me 5 hours to listen to it before it returned... so I won't be able to make it for this book. I hate how it works. The overdue book I had was only overdue because someone else put it on hold which means that It didn't auto renew for my next checkout like all my other books did. We need a new system.

[Shar]

Oh that sucks :/ I just managed to get the audiobook now since I forgot the book cause I'm not at home at the moment. I'll start the audio soon :)

[Courtney]

Starting this tomorrow!

[Courtney]

Final starting this.

[Courtney]

Chapter 5 (view spoiler)[ So far Meg saved Apollo and they found Percy who is now going to the camp. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 10 (view spoiler)[ NICO IS BACK! I am excited for that. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 14 (view spoiler)[ Apollo is so freaking annoying. He is so concieted. Plus I feel like Meg has way more power in her. (hide spoiler)]

[Shar]

Making a start on it now! Might try and finish today or tomorrow too lmao

[Shar]

Chapter 5: (view spoiler)[I am loving the new perspective of a god because it's always been the perspective of a demigod in all his other books. There's such a good contrast between the two and the arrogance and god-like personality features of Apollo is really showing. Not much has happened yet but I'm loving getting back into Rick Riordan's writing again (hide spoiler)]

[Shar]

Chapter 10: (view spoiler)[ahhhh the feels. Will and Nico warm my heart so much and I'm so happy Nico is in this book.

I'm so curious to know who Meg's God parent is. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

me too! He's my favourite character from all of Rick Riordan's books <3

[Shar]

Courtney wrote: "Chapter 14 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[Apollo is written in a way that is meant to be disliked I feel. He is a god and I think he's very accurately been portrayed with how he views mortals and demi-gods. Meg is definitely very powerful, her power has surprised me considering her parent is demeter. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 18 (view spoiler)[ Who is this Beast guy, and why does Meg recgonizes his voice. Python wants the Beast to kill the Apollo. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Shar wrote: "Courtney wrote: "Chapter 14 [spoilers removed]"

[spoilers removed]"


He does that very well then lol

[Courtney]

Chapter 24. (view spoiler)[ The creppy myrmekes took Meg. Hopefully Apollo can find her soon along with Austin and Kayla. (hide spoiler)]

[Shar]

Chapter 28: (view spoiler)[Phew that was a mission and a half. I'm so happy the queen let them through cause that could have ended pretty badly if she hadn't. I love the gradual progression of Apollo where he is starting to think and feel more as a mortal now. (hide spoiler)]

[Shar]

Finished: (view spoiler)[Meg's betrayal honestly took me by surprise which I am very surprised about cause usually I catch on to these things. I don't think Meg is a bad character I think how she was raised really influenced her choices and I'm curious to see how she changes or if she changes in the future books.

I didn't enjoy this book as much as some of his other books but did still really like it. I want to see more of Leo and Nico too because who doesn't, they are both such amazing characters. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 29 (view spoiler)[ Nero is Meg's step dad! (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

I didnt see that coming either, and (view spoiler)[ yes more Leo and Nico! (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley W]

Starting soon :) I've read this one before but never got past the first book in the series. I'm really not sure why, because this was pretty good from what I remember. Anyway, I'm eager to get started.

[Ashley W]

Chapter 7
(view spoiler)[ I love Apollo so much. Of all the gods to become human, he is probably the funniest just because of his ego. I was surprised Percy is in this much of the book. I thought he would be done with Heroes of Olympus. I love that they mentioned Annabeth in Boston. It makes me want to read Magnus Chase. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley W]

Chapter 8
(view spoiler)[ Grooting. Haha I love that that's a verb now. Also, these Haikus are great. I wish there were a book of just them. (hide spoiler)]
