The Trials of Apollo
This Post is Spoiler Free! The Hidden Oracle I’m going to keep this short because it is a five book series and I don’t want this post to go on foreeeeeeever. So here we go. The Hidden Oracle, book one of The Trials of Apollo (ToA) by Rick Riordan. It is the third and final series in the Percyverse—Percy Jackson and the Olympians (PJO – five books) and The Heroes of Olympus (HoO – also five books) came before it. This review will most likely contain spoilers for PJO and HoO, though nothing too big. Just character names and possibly relationships (that would be impossible to avoid if you ever…

Each short story is connected by a little cameo from Thor, which is hilarious. Nothing is too intense. It’s just nine, lighthearted and fun stories told by the characters we all love (if you’ve read the Magnus Chase trilogy, that is). Seriously, give this collection a read. It’s fun and provided…

Reading Update (March and April)
Here’s the thing. It’s been about a month since I last posted, and it’s been two months since I last posted anything about what I’ve been reading. I can’t say I’ve read a LOT since then, but I’ve read a fair amount. The books I’ve read in the last two months (with mini reviews/thoughts) are: The Kane Chronicles: The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan It took me a while to get into this one. I think a part of that is because I’d been in YA land for so long that going back to Middlegrade was a bit of a shock to my system. The other part is simply… it…
