I never thought we would get a Halloween novel for the Percy Jackson series, but it’s here and it's a bunch of zany fun. Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson and the Wrath of the Triple Goddess, the second book in Percy’s quest to get three recommendation letters for college, was a blast to the past as the original trio worked to earn Hecate’s favor. Jesse Bernstein once again did an excellent job bringing the story to life with his performance in the audiobook narration.
Housesitting a goddesses’ pets sounds simple on paper, but of course with the triple goddess herself things get very complicated very quickly. It was a spooky, nostalgic ride, with many cameos from various characters from the series as well as other figures from mythology. While this series already has my heart, my favorite moment in the book was a heartfelt exchange between Percy and his mom Sally. Overall, it was a great read (though that’s no surprise) and I’m really excited to see who the third god providing Percy a recommendation letter will be.
I recommend the series to those who enjoy adventure, humor, and Greek mythology. Readers should absolutely read the original books (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, The Heroes of Olympus, and The Trials of Apollo) before reading this book and The Chalice of the Gods for the best experience.
