Twelve-year-old Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school...again. No matter how hard he tries, he can't seem to stay out of trouble. But can he really be expected to stand by and watch while a bully picks on his scrawny best friend? Or not defend himself against his pre-algebra teacher when she turns into a monster and tries to kill him? Of course, no one believes Percy about the monster incident; he's not even sure he believes himself.

Zane Obispo spends every day exploring the sleeping volcano in his backyard. "The Beast", as he calls it, is the one place where he can escape other kids, who make fun of him because he has a limp and walks with a cane. After a plane crashes into The Beast, a mysterious girl named Brooks shows up at Zane's doorstep, insisting that they meet at the volcano, where she will reveal a terrible secret. Zane agrees. Brooks tells him that the volcano is actually a centuries-old prison for the Mayan god of death, whose destiny is directly tied to Zane's.

Ben Ripley may only be in middle school, but he's already pegged his dream job: CIA or bust. Unfortunately for him, his personality doesn't exactly scream "secret agent". In fact Ben is so awkward, he can barely get to school and back without a mishap. Because of his innate nerdiness, Ben is not surprised when he is recruited for a magnet school with a focus on science - but he's entirely shocked to discover that the school is actually a front for a junior CIA academy.

Description
How do you punish an immortal?
By making him human.
After angering his father, Zeus, the god Apollo is cast down from Olympus. Weak and disoriented, he lands in New York City as a regular teenage boy. Now, without his godly powers, the 4,000-year-old deity must learn to survive in the modern world until he can somehow find a way to regain Zeus' favor.
But Apollo has many enemies - gods, monsters, and mortals who would love to see the former Olympian permanently destroyed. Apollo needs help, and he can think of only one place to go...an enclave of modern demigods known as Camp Half-Blood.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"[Narrator] Robbie Daymond is completely charming as the god Apollo.... Apollo is conceited and self-important, but Riordan's funny writing and Daymond's narration make sure the listener is always on his side as he learns how to manage without his godly gifts." (AudioFile)

Jesus Christ, Apollo
The title had to have come out of my mouth a dozen times before the end of Chapter 4, however it was in an endearing way. i really enjoyed this one, I am a sucker for anything that will bring ancient Greece or Rome into the story and imo Uncle Rick is one of the bests. the narrator also did a great job, i thoughouly enjoyed this story and reccomend it.

Decent narration, book itself is so so
Robbie’s narration is quite good, I appreciate the calmness and deeper cadence compared to earlier PJO / HoO works, though he does fall flat a little in the sense that there is not a ton of character differentiation besides Meg and Apollo.
Still, not bad to listen to. I wish the story was a bit more entertaining - I’ve heard the series gets much better by the 3rd book but it’s pretty lacklustre so far compared to Heroes. Perhaps it’s because Apollo as Lestor is very annoying… however I have hope for future books :)

Great perfomance, story not so much
Narrator was great but the story lacked actions and events. I had just finished Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus hoping to find a third story as amazing, but got disapointed. It has potential, but I couldn't find myself caring about any of the characters except maybe a little for Apollo. The annoying thing though is that the book spent way too much time inside Apollo's head and not enough on advancing the story. Narrator still did an amazing job and made it enjoyable.

Another fun tale in the world of gods and demigods
It is a very entertaining book, capturing the fun and mythos created and recreated in every iteration and variation of Riordan's God and demigod universe. It is nice to see one of the gods getting a down to Earth view of humanity.

Finally a good narrator
The world of Camp Half Blood is once again filled with the drama and adventure that makes Rick Riordan's YA novels thrilling for readers/listeners young and slightly older. This new series revives the humor and unique perspective that made the original Percy Jackson series so great. But what impresses me more is the fact that Listening Library has finally cast another quality narrator. After sending listeners through disappointing series of narrators in Heroes of Olympus and the new Magnus Chase, Robbie Daymond finally gets Riordan's style and characters right.

Fantastic!!
What made the experience of listening to The Trials of Apollo, Book One: The Hidden Oracle the most enjoyable?
Rick Riordan did it again! He brought us a new series that leaves us vying for more! Sadly, I finished the book quickly after I started, which means I have to wait another year for the next book :( But this series is going to be great! I love the character development throughout the book. The book brings us a slew of new characters, yet with enough familiar characters to make us smile.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Trials of Apollo, Book One: The Hidden Oracle?
The most memorable part that sticks in my mind is probably how narcissistic Apollo is at the start of the book, and how he grows into a character that cares for others and is willing to put others first.
What does Robbie Daymond bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Robbie Daymond did a great job of reading the characters voices. It really brought the story to life.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
And the end of the world is coming... again....
Any additional comments?
As much as I love Percy, Anabeth, and the 7 demigods, I like that Riordan has given them a little bit of a break from having the fate of the universe on their shoulders. They deserve a break... I mean poor Percy! every time he wants to have a normal life, the world is ending and he has to save it... So I am glad he has taken a break from that. Even so, I am glad that we find out snippets of what is going on in our favorite characters lives since Gaia tried to rise. Its neat to see what they are up to!

I did miss Percy, At least Apollo was Great, That’s About It.
The Hidden Oracle is the first book in Riordan’s third Greco-Roman Modern Mythology series, the Trials of Apollo. To start my compliment sandwich there, the premise of our protagonist being an extraordinarily flamboyant Greek god forced into an all to ordinary mortal form is undeniably effective. Apollo’s near nonstop commentary, whining, and occasional moments of self-reflection make this easily one of the most amusing books I’ve read in quite some time, but not necessarily at the cost of story or character development.
(I’ll be taking pains to avoid specific spoilers, but the hyper-cautious would likely do well to skip the following paragraph regardless)
Unfortunately, that brings me to the meat of my thoughts on this book, which is that this is the third five book series focusing on the Greek pantheon, and that— fun mortal Apollo gimmick aside— the seams of this series have become a bit too strained for my liking. So, it turns out that the last 2 wars were just warmup rounds for the REAL masterminds! Excellent, glad to know that the last 2 series’ worth of conflict was all just fodder for the big guns, maybe if we’re lucky this bad guy will last 45 seconds before being supplanted in the next series! Pardon my sarcasm, but I hope it got the point across. Quantity runs the risk of eroding quality, and when you’re building your new toys on the backs of the old— particularly if people already think the execution was rushed last time— you run the sincere risk of desensitizing your audience to your product before its barely left the gates. Take new intrepid demigod Meg McCaffrey, for instance. Hero with an uncommon godly context? Check. A magic sword and an unreasonably high skill level to go with it? Double check. A tragic history that must be overcome for the sake of her future. Check and then some. It’s this last point in particular that Trials of Apollo wants me to focus on- Meg’s trauma. Unfortunately, I’m a full book into this series, and I’ve already determined that I don’t particularly care for this lead character. I applaud Riordan for planting another bold flag in his ever expanding banner of diversity, and genuinely hope that Meg McCaffrey is the character that Percy Jackson was for so many. But I’ve been reading these books since 2009, when I was 11. I’ve seen this author craft 3 and a half world’s based in Mythology(my favorite subject), and populate them with fun and impactful characters, each fully equipped with their own stories to tell. I’m not sure if there will come a day where these stories and I go our separate ways, but the day I finished The Hidden Oracle, I knew I’d reached a turning point. The law of diminishing returns had been enacted, I was struggling to care. This book is too closely tied to PJO & HoO for its own good. The characters I’ve already grown to care about are a touch too sparse for my liking, while they’re still too close to let this new series breathe. Pun very much intended, it’s the worst of both worlds.
And then there’s Robbie Daymond, the narrator, the thing that separates the Audible version of Trials of Apollo from just any other version of the book. And gods, what a defining feature to have! Daymond’s cadence PERFECTLY captures every angle of Apollo’s character: The proud Olympian, the whiny teen, the grieving man, the extravagant immortal. This is easily one of the best voice actor to character marriages I’ve witnessed since the likes of Mark Hamill and the Joker, and I don’t say that lightly!
Final thoughts:
Riordan’s old magic is still hard at work in this new series. I easily recommend this to new and young readers, there’s a good chance you’ll learn something about mythology, and maybe even the world around you. Even if you don’t, it’s still another fun misadventure in the world of Modern day mythology, and I’m sure somebody will enjoy the ride. Be for warned that the book eludes to the 2 previous Greco-Roman series multiple times, making this a somewhat unideal jumping point. Also, while all subjects in this book are paired to a mid-reader Level, there are still mature themes and concepts on display here that are not to be taken lightly, Chief among them the subject of childhood emotional abuse. Reader discretion is advised.
As to the more seasoned veterans or older prospective readers, your enjoyment of Trials of Apollo will be dictated pretty thoroughly on your present appetite for Riordan’s formula. The parts have been swapped out, but the mechanism is largely the same. If you’re as hungry for more of this style of writing as you were 10 years ago, then by all means, I hope Trials of Apollo is what you’re looking for. But if you were looking for further iteration on the characters you’ve already become endeared to, are are weary after the controversial Blood of Olympus, or have reader fatigue after 10-16 books of something similar, then maybe you’re better off stopping here.

Well Earned Mega-Success
I'm an adult (with a Grandson who LOVES these books!), and I certainly enjoyed finding and promoting an author who quickens and enriches kids' appreciation of mythology.
But, can he produce that quality over and over again? Well, yes, apparently! "Apollo" is a case in point: there's reference to earlier books and some overlap of familiar and loved characters; new characters are just as sympathetic (or horrifying!) and fresh as in earlier series; and Riordan's enthusiasm for myth and expanded detail seems not to have diminished at all.
I always wonder if kids really "get" his many jokes and references devoted to the 1960's and '70's, but, if you can go by my grandchildren's reactions, these seem not to phase them at all or reduce enjoyment. If those babyboomer sections are skipped over, there are still plenty of age-appropriate bits of humor and current pop culture quips to please the target audience. We all loved, for instance, this book's mention of "Groot", and my grandkids are now running around shouting "Peaches!" at every opportunity.
And, thank you, thank you for this new narrator! While still sounding appropriately like a youngster, Robbie Daymond's delivery is so much less cartoonish than the previous reader. He interprets all the characters well and brings the whole thing to life for listeners of any age.
Rick Riordan deserves his fame and success.

Unnecessary Agenda
Personally, despite his mispronunciation of some words, I liked this reader better than the one for the Percy Jackson series. What killed this book for me was the unnecessary LGBTQ agenda. I understand that it is a part of the world and I would love and accept my children if they were to come to me and tell me they were feeling something along those lines. I do not however find it necessary to force it into their literature. It didn't even feel like a natural part of the story. It felt like agenda.

Rick you're a genius
We get to see the world through the eyes of an ex god, reconnect with our favorite demigods, meet the new face of evil, and meet some amazing new characters.
I also extremely appreciate the very respectful portrayal of a young bisexual boy, and the true natures of the gods.

Different but good
Good storyline, just didn't enjoy how much lgbt propaganda riordan put in it... Came out kinda forced... Kind of like the twilight series, if you were to take out all the crap that Bella was thinking in her head it would be a much better storyline

Good story marred by narrator
Told from the perspective of Apollo, this story has much to offer the fans of Riordian's other series featuring Roman Greek demigods. Unfortunately, the narrator was the death knell for this audible book. The narrator was bland, lacking color and animation. I suggest you skip this audible and read the book yourself.

political agenda mongering
I've lived riordan's books since middle school. enjoyed the Percy Jackson series, the heroes of Olympus series, and the red pyramid series. but now he's seemed to inject a little bit of left propaganda by humoring the term 'mansplaining'. I'm really disappointed.
he also turned a well written gay character into a token diversity quota by making his gayness his entire personality, despite this character having amazing character development in the previous series'. when introducing a straight character the first interaction isn't something that screams 'straight' at the reader, so why do that for a gay one? his being gay should only be mentioned when relevant, not thrown in your face the moment we meet him. and it was so well done in the previous books and now it's just virtue signaling to children who read the book and pushing agenda on them

Surprisingly Awesome
I wasn't sure about this book at first. But, since I love the other Olympian books, I gave it a shot. Riordan stunned again.
At times, you hate Apollo, at others, you want to cry for him and what he's been through. Admittedly, there were a few soapbox moments, but they didn't detract from the plot and were funny and appropriate.
I can't wait for the next book.
