He’s not picky, and it is so in character for him. There are gay references in The Dark Prophecy, primarily Apollo’s attraction to anything gorgeous. It’s quite contradictory and very laugh-worthy. It’s a story of regrets as well as self-reflection…and a reflection that goes both ways, as Apollo manages to see where he went “wrong” as well as how anyone could possibly think he was anything less than fabulous. (This could be a good talking-point for parents.) His whinging back and forth between his lack of godly abilities and the usual torments of being a sixteen-year-old with zits, creates such a dichotomy between a god and a human teen, and all in Apollo’s self-centered view that you can’t help laughing. Apollo/Lester cracks me up with his selfishness. So, for all my whining about the cover, this was great. In 2017, The Dark Prophecy was nominated for the Goodreads Choice Award for Middle Grade & Children’s. Second in The Trials of Apollo mythic fantasy series (and seventh in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians universe) for middle-grade readers and revolving around the punished Apollo, er, Lester. Published by Disney-Hyperion Books on May 2, 2017Īlso by this author: The House of Hades, The Hidden Oracle, The Titan's Curse, The Sword of Summer, The Hammer of Thor, The Ship of the Dead, The Battle of the Labyrinth, The Last Olympian This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
