About this listen
Brought to you by Puffin.
The latest series from international bestselling author, Rick Riordan
He was once an immortal God. Now, he's a teenage boy called Lester.
Apollo has angered his father Zeus for the last time.
So, how do you punish an immortal?
By making him human. Obviously.
Cast down from Olympus, he's weak, disorientated and stuck in New York City as a teenage boy.
It's the first time he's been without his powers, and he has to survive in the modern world.
Which isn't an easy feat for a four-thousand-year old deity, especially one with as many enemies as he has.
Apollo needs help, and he can only think of one place to go . . . an enclave of modern demigods known as Camp Half-Blood.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Annie has always had high hopes for her future. But the reality of her life just isn’t measuring up. She loves her fiancé, Greg–doesn’t she? She’s going to get her degree and open her own business–won’t she? Then, a strange old woman shows up outside her house, and she seems to know a lot about Annie. An awful lot. Annie could tell the old woman to get lost. Yet there’s something about her Annie just can’t shake. And what she learns could change her life forever–but is it the life she envisioned?

For some it’s an opportunity. For others it’s a moment to question their faith: In God, in science, in everything. Still others try to keep the world running in the face of absurdity and uncertainty. And then there are the billions looking to the sky and wondering how a thing that was always just there is now... something absolutely impossible.

Story
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Was the signal an intercepted communication revealing alarming plans for an enemy’s military strike? Or has humanity at long last found proof of extraterrestrial life?

Great audiobook
I had so much fun listening to this book:)
I read this book irl a while back and decided to listen to it now because I needed something light to be in the background while working/doing chores. I eventually just found myself being so sucked to the story and narrative that I just listened to it with my eyes closed, not doing my chores lol

Why did I wait so long to read this book!?
Finally finished reading the first book in the Apollo series by uncle Rick and it did not disappoint! Familiar characters from the Olympus series are welcoming and new faces arrive that bring the story to live and bring you back to Camp Half Blood.
I will be starting on the next one as soon as I have written this review.
I guees this series could be read as a stand-alone but there a few referance to the the last two that could get confusing, so I would recomand that one should read the Olympians series and the Heros of Olympis before diving into this one!

Stunned
A sequel to the epic Percy Jackson, the new series are AMAZING. Packed with action, Apollo is hilarious. A whole new experience by Rick Riordan.
—Although Percy isn’t a main character :(

good book.
Any additional comments?
Please do not make book 1 available if book 2 isn't. This has happened twice lately. I could understand if the book got low ratings or a new release. My Mom has asked for the next books but still not available.

Rick Riordan keeps delivering
If you like the Percy Jackson series, you Will love this one.
you know how apollo is in the books? arrogant? self-centered? like pretty much all gods. Well, he is mortal now. And constantly fearing for his life.

Review:
I peorsonaly enjoy Rick’s books and I have to say that Percy Jackson and magnus chase have been better than this (so far) which makes this title go to third place of my Rick books. I hope it becomes a bit more interesting. Also the dude who reads the book can sound extremely boring at times. Though I will still recommend the book for humor and time spending. ;)

It's great, but....
Since I was a little girl I became interested in mythology, and Rick Riordan's books rescue that passion in me. It turns out that this new series of books seemed unattractive to me. The main character is the god Apollo, who was punished by Zeus (reason not explained), and is on earth without any divine power. That wouldn't be a problem if he wasn't so self-centered and immature. That doesn't fit with a god ... Okay, by the end of the book Apollo is a little more bearable, but even so, he's a very boring and spoiled teenager. He could have a little more wisdom, couldn't he?
Although I was excited to get to know this new series, now I’m not that interested in continuing. These are books that will stay for another time. I will not abandon the books, but this first adventure of the god Apollo did not delight me, like the other books by this author.
