‘The Chalice of the Gods’ has Riordan reunite us with Percy, Annabeth and Grover, the former two now in a very wholesome relationship, as Percy is set a quest by Ganymede to locate and return the cupbearer’s stolen chalice. Unlike the previous books this was a much more low-stake mission but allowed Riordan to place more minor gods into the modern world, arcs focusing on Hebe, Iris and Gerios, which was unique and fun. All in all it was really lighthearted, pretty wholesome at the end, clever as always with the intermingling of mythology into the modern world, and a really easy and quick read: it took me just a day to zoom through this! As fun and lighthearted as it was the lesser stakes meant it didn’t quite meet the standards of the original five books (minus ‘The Sea of Monsters’ it was better than such!) and was nothing to ride home about but nonetheless a really fun little read !
