![]() ![]() ![]() Jo and Emmie, new characters, are large characters too (and if you want to give us the continued or previous adventures of Emmie and Jo, Uncle Rick, I won’t complain). Their relationship, one in which I was fairly invested prior to the beginning of this series, serves as a good breaker of a subplot to Apollo’s narcissism. Here is Leo, already well-developed and greatly loved, and Calypso with him. This is a story of overbearing fathers or fathers who overshadow their children-Marcus Aurelius, Nero, Zeus, Midas, Apollo himself, maybe even Ssssarah’s father should be included in the list (is that Tartarus?)-the weight that they put on their children, and the right and wrong ways to react to that weight.Īpollo seemed to me less annoying in The Dark Prophecy, whether because this is a god much humbled or because the supporting characters are larger, helping to balance him better. To Percy, that was not at all a light remark.That title seems harsh, but it is nonetheless true. His human girl tells him to save the world for her. The book ends when Percy is summoned for another mission. But, in the end, they find the sword and return it to Hades with the caveat that he not raise it against the gods of the upper world. They deal with a troll and the goddess of ghosts as well as a raging giant Titan. They face many perils and dangers in their trek. Percy and his demigod friends set off on a mission in the Underworld to find the sword. In his final big adventure, Percy and demigods Thalia and Nico are summoned to Hades by the goddess Persephone to retrieve a stolen sword that gives its owner the ability to summon the dead. Together, they resurrect a huge bronze dragon automaton to fight off the vicious ants that capture and nearly kill Beckendorf. ![]() They are joined by the demigods Annabeth and Silena. In another adventure, the demigods are having fun and playing games at Camp Half-Blood until Percy and his friend Beckendorf encounter a huge ant hill that is inhabited by giant ants the size of German shepherds. Eventually, Percy and Clarisse are able to outfight and outsmart Phobos and Deimos and return the chariot to Ares before he knows that it is missing. The battle between the demigods and the gods is a brutal one. They were determined to keep the chariot from her so that she would face the wrath of Ares. Her brothers, Phobos, the god of fear, and Deimos, the god of terror, were up to no good. She had to get the chariot back before Ares discovered it was gone. Actually the vehicle looked like a car to humans but it was really Ares’ war chariot equipped with two huge flame-breathing horses. She had taken her father’s car for a joy ride and her half-brothers had taken it from her. Just as Percy suspected, she had more problems than a flock of birds. Although reluctant at first to let Percy help her – her father is Ares and his father is Poseidon, two bitter enemies – Clarisse really needs help to fight off the onslaught and allows Percy to join her battle. Percy makes an excuse to his teacher and soon comes to the aid of Clarisse. She is fighting off an attack from a vicious flock of huge ravens. ![]() He looks out the window and sees that a fellow demigod named Clarisse is in trouble. The book begins with the adventure of “Percy Jackson and the Stolen Chariot.” Percy is in his high school science class when he hears a commotion outside. There are several adventure stories in this book as well as an activities section for young readers. Percy jackson the dark prophecy series#Percy Jackson & the Olympians – The Demigod Files by Rick Riordan is one in a series of books from the Demigod Files. ![]()
