By making him human.
After angering his father Zeus, the god Apollo is cast down from Olympus. Weak and disorientated, he lands in New York City as a regular teenage boy. Now, without his godly powers, the four-thousand-year-old deity must learn to survive in the modern world until he can somehow find a way to regain Zeus's favour.

Zeus needed someone to blame, so of course he’d picked the handsomest, most talented, most popular god in the pantheon: me.
This might be my favourite Riordan book.
I was actually disappointed with his last one - The Sword of Summer - and I began to question in my review if it was finally time for Mr. R. to take a step back from these books about Greek, Roman and Egyptian gods. The conflicts were similar and the teen 'voices' had begun to blend into one. Magnus Chase could just as easily have b...more
Suffice to say, Apollo, you are awesome. This book made me literally 'LOL' multiple times and brought a smile to my face seeing old characters I love again. YAY!

'Is anything sadder than the sound of a god hitting a pile of garbage bags?'
Or to paraphrase, is there anything sadder than your favorite author becoming a sellout?
It's blatantly obvious Riordan isn't even trying anymore. He knows he can put out a steaming heap of crap and Percy fangirls and Solangelo diehards would still be clawing over each other for a copy, sending This Hidden Disappointment to the top of the NYT bestseller's list.

Yesterday, he was the mighty and melodious Apollo, son of Zeus. Today, he is Lester Papadopoulos, a mere, ungifted mortal.
There’s only one thing for him to do now: join the demigods at Camp Half-Blood.
What makes The Hidden Oracle incredibly interesting is Apollo himself. Yes, he is one narcissistic personage with high standards and a peculiar appreciation for poetry.
And, yes, he is tremendously flawed, there is no denying that. But funnily enough, that’s what makes him so likeable.

“Things can turn out differently, Apollo. That's the nice thing about being human. We only have one life, but we can choose what kind of story it's going to be.”
Dammit, Rick Riordan. This book was actually really good. WHAT THE HELL.
When I first heard about Trials of Apollo, I had very mixed feelings. On one hand I felt like, “Jeez Rick, please don’t turn into a huge sell-out.” On the other hand, I was like, “I GET TO BE REUNITED WITH ALL THE PJO/HOO CHARACTERS YET AGAIN!! YESSSS.”

The Hidden Oracle continues right after The Blood of Olympus. Apollo aka Lester Papadopoulos is banished from Olympus. He used to be a god, when he's mortal, he doesn't have his power and that makes him very upset. In this book, you will meet the same old characters such as Percy, Nico, Chiron and Wi...more

I remember when I started this book last year without reading the previous ten books, one of my best friends here told me I have to read previous books. I was sad because I had read, I think, 5 chapters or so and I was quite enjoying it. And reading ten whole books seemed a huge mess to me. Now I understood that my friend was right.

I've officially read 13 Camp Half Blood books and I DON'T THINK I'LL EVER HAVE ENOUGH OF THEM. This was brilliant. I laughed my head off at the perfectness of the humour and sass and basically Apollo's narcissism was glorious. TRULY GLORIOUS. And I particularly loved that this one didn't follow the general plot-themes of the other Riordan books. Like, okay, I totally can get onboard with a prophecy, a team, and a wild adventure. But it's refreshing to NOT have that for once??? SO YAY.

first, Percy Jackson
then Heroes of Olympus

'Nothing is more tragic than loving someone to the depths of your soul and knowing they cannot and will not ever love you back.'
Time and time again, it has been proven that whenever I'm reading a Rick Riordan book, I read so fast that the words blurred. I mean, I can't stop flipping the goddamn pages like there's no tomorrow. Maybe, it's the humor or probably, something else.

Right, so I've just finished my final exams, and will be graduating uni in a few weeks. My degree is combined history and ancient history, and since I was young, tales about mythology have intrigued me, either reading the originals, or adaptations/retellings. Rick Riordan quickly became one of my favourite authors about five years ago, when I discovered the Percy Jackson series, and since then I've loved anything by him.

Overview
How do you punish an immortal?
By making him human.
After angering his father Zeus, the god Apollo is cast down from Olympus. Weak and disoriented, he lands in New York City as a regular teenage boy. Now, without his godly powers, the four-thousand-year-old deity must learn to survive in the modern world until he can somehow find a way to regain Zeus's favor.
But Apollo has many enemies-gods, monsters, and mortals who would love to see the former Olympian permanently destroyed. Apollo needs help, and he can think of only one place to go . . . an enclave of modern demigods known as Camp Half-Blood.
Also included, a bonus short story: 'Percy Jackson and the Singer of Apollo'
