THE CHALICE OF THE GODS Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 6

More than 10 years have passed since listeners first adventured with Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Narrator Jesse Bernstein doesn't disappoint as he returns in this sixth installment. Percy is just trying to get through his senior year without incident, but if he wants to attend college, he must complete three quests to obtain the required reference letters from Mount Olympus. There's no "world-saving" action as before, but Bernstein wonderfully captures Percy's excitement and sarcastic humor. Some listeners might find Bernstein's voice a bit adenoidal for their liking, particularly as he portrays the cheerful but nervous Grover or the ambitious and intelligent Annabeth, who also returns. Listeners will enjoy this delightful reunion with its mix of nostalgia, romance, adventure, and humor. E.P. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2023]
