The Trials of Apollo-The Hidden Oracle 

The Hidden Oracle (The Trials of Apollo Book 1) eBook: Riordan ...



          Another amazing book by Rick Riordan is out! Another mystery, another adventure but also another character. This time the lord of plague, medicine, archery, music, and poem has come to the mortal world himself. Apollo has been punished by Zeus and now has to undergo a bunch of trials to prove himself to become an Olympian again. This book is a little different from what the Percy Jackson fans have always been reading but no less adventurous. Rick's humor is the same as always! You never know how the next sentence is going to tickle your funny bone.

          I started Percy Jackson when I was in 6th grade. I became an instant fan. It's actually really hard to meet a person who has read a Percy Jackson and not liked it. I personally have never met such a person. Rick's work is amazing and mostly a hit (yes, he is capable of writing shit too). The Kane Chronicles were great too... not the same kind of humor... but definitely a fun read. However, I have no idea what he was thinking writing the Magnus Chase. I mean that book sucks! He failed to get me hooked and I just couldn't continue it. I guess not all stories are success stories.

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan – review ...  9780141325507: The Red Pyramid (The Kane Chronicles, Book 1 ... Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard Hardcover Boxed Set | Read Riordan
          
          Anyways, getting back to The Trials of Apollo, it is worth a read for any Percy fans. Of course, Percy was love but really this book is not that bad (it could have been worse). There is a guest appearance of him in the beginning and the end. He also saves the day but we are now stuck in Apollo's mind. Apollo is high headed and a little annoying... okay who am I kidding... very annoying. The guy clearly needs to get his priorities sorted. A lot of character development is seen in him (which was very much needed and even more appreciated). But that didn't mean he stopped being a dick! He excels in that. You have seen a glimpse of his personality in previous books, so, this shouldn't be a surprise. Also, look at the author's name bro. 

          One of the things that I personally feel really excited about is having Leo back! That guy is just plain funny and attractive with irresistible charm. Honestly, who needs any more of a reason to read this book!

Rating 4/5 (simply because Apollo is not Percy)

It's prejudice..... I know.... but this is also my blog.

    😯😯😯I thought I'm reading a blog by a professional and experienced blogger.
    I don't have any idea about this author's books, so I can't say much, but the way you've written it is really really good. I personally liked it very much.
    The little humour you've tried to add here and there just garnished the write up!
    Keep blogging :)
    Would love to read more.

Ikigai The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life A self-interview review! Q. Hey, Shreya! How are you? A. Hello! I am doing well. There is a lot on my platter. It's heavy with aspirations. But things are managing themselves. Thanks for asking! Q. Coming to review, what made you choose this book? A. I saw this book cover on someone's status a long time back. That person had good taste in books, so, I figured I should read this too. However, with the passage of time, I forgot about this book. Later, I came face to face with it when I visited my aunt's house. The yearning for this book rejuvenated. Hence, when my uncle asked me what I wanted for my birthday, I replied, "Ikigai". Q. How is this book different from other books like The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari or Who Moved My Cheese ? What makes Ikigai unique? A. I am glad you asked! All the books that you mentioned come under the category of self-help. However, each one is different. The Monk Who Sold His Ferrar...

The Matrix -1999 (Movie)

The Matrix           The Matrix is a 1999 science fiction action film written and directed by Wachowskis . This movie is quite advanced for its time dealing with virtual reality (the matrix), artificial intelligence, the reality of technology, a dystopian world after an apocalypse . Now dear readers, these are simple English vocabulary that every book and movie fan should be familiar with... if you aren't maybe it's time to question whether you have spent your childhood right.           The movie begins with a girl (Trinity) searching for the ONE (Neo or Mr. Anderson if you may). It is believed that Neo is the one to reverse the effect of the virtual world created by shape-shifting agents. The agent ( that guy looks pretty much the same as the one who played Hydra in the Marvel series but I am not sure and I am too lazy to search it up) is the one controlling the world. The agents (it's actually a group) have enslaved humanity and make...

Deciphering With Astha Dhal (Podcast)

  Deciphering with Astha Dhal           I hate it. I absolutely despise it. How could he do this to me? I knew I should have kept my distance. What is wrong with me? I shouldn't have opened up myself. She is truly awful. That was no way of speaking! Doesn't she get it? I should not have shared it. I should've kept it to myself. Something is wrong with me. I can't breathe. I want to let go. I want to die.               Today the teenagers deal with problems way different from what the Millenials dealt with. It is important to know that you are not alone. When people say, "look they have a bigger problem than you, so shut up..." I personally want to punch those people. Everyone is going through something. A teenager's problem is way different from an adult's. Deciphering with Astha Dhal is a podcast by Astha Dhal deciphering the life of a teenager.           The calm and serene voice of Astha leads ...

The Lover Boy of Bahawalpur: How the Pulwama Case was Cracked (Book)

  The Lover Boy of Bahawalpur: How the Pulwama Case was Cracked                      A couple days ago, CJI N.V. Ramana said that there has been a decline in investigative journalism. Earlier, newspapers would be responsible for exposing big scandals and speculate scams. However, today journalism has been reduced to politics and sensational headlines. The media is doing more politics than politicians. This is the reality. Over time it has become increasingly difficult to differentiate between the truth and a publicity stunt. Every other day there is an actor or an actress involved in a money laundering case or with narcotics. Trial by media is the new trend. Very few police evidence or courtroom dialogues are provided. The news today is the public or the powerful's opinion.           In this new era, Rahul Pandita's book The Lover Boy of Bahawalpur: How the Pulwama Case was Cracked provides a refreshin...
