THE DARK PROPHECY The Trials of Apollo, Book 2

Narrator Robbie Daymond is perfectly tuned in as events take a darker turn in this sequel to THE HIDDEN ORACLE. Trapped in a mortal teenaged body and continuing on his quest set out by Zeus, Apollo is forced to remember and relive painful moments from his past. He experiences heartbreak and humility yet maintains his godly self-absorption, which, in Daymond’s capable performance, is eminently charming. Listeners will root for Apollo whether he’s reciting haikus or doing something heroic in spite of himself. Daymond also provides distinct voices for the large cast of Apollo’s comrades and enemies, but it’s Apollo himself who shines brightest. There’s plenty of adventure and humor here, and listeners will finish this installment already eager for the next one. J.M.D. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2017]
