This book is dedicated to Walker Scobell, Aryan Simhadri, and Leah Sava Jeffries, the stars of the Disney+ series. Are you kidding?” He grinned at Annabeth. “A chance to do quests, just the three of us? Like old times? The Three Musketeers!”

Annabeth's Yankees Cap is revealed to give the wearer an uncomfortable sensation while it's being used which Percy suspects is the reason that Annabeth doesn't use it too much. Annabeth tells Percy that this is because all power has a price, even invisibility. The cap's effects are also shown to be limited for the first time, only making Percy invisible to spirits and minor gods, but at best looking unimportant to the major gods such as the Olympians. You know you’ve been a demigod too long when you’re flushed out of your school straight into the Atlantic Ocean and you’re not even surprised.”

That’s because the flow may feel disrupted with the short stories that are scattered throughout the timeline. As well, since Riordan was writing multiple series over the span of many years, there is overlap throughout the universe with events taking place at the same time. Some of the short stories are also hard to place within the timeline, because trying to line up seasons, ages, and events within the overall timeline with the main books can be challenging.

Trolls upset by the casting rallied to have the 12-year-old's TikTok account banned, prompting Riordan to defend her casting. "If you have a problem with this casting, take it up with me," he said. "You have no one else to blame. This is a reference to The Return of the King when Frodo gets to Mount Doom with the One Ring, which makes him invisible like Annabeth's Yankees Cap does to Percy, and claims the Ring as his rather than destroying it. The Percabeth moments were lovely - such a delight to read! You can see how their relationship has become so very solid - so in tune and entwined with each other - with dry wit that comes from Percy knowing in his heart that he and Annabeth are in for the long run - that for a girl who had seen his baby pictures, 'I had no dignity left. Annabeth and I were still together. I figured that was good enough. 💜💜 But, that one moment which caught me completely off guard when it happened! One second, it was all hearts and love and the next, Percy was barreling towards peril - hahaha, whiplash at it's finest! And the best part, was that it was so well-executed that the surprise was totally worth the pay-off! 😅 Despite being a minor god, Ganymede appears to be unaffected as well, but Percy had also intentionally revealed his presence to the god, possibly negating the cap's effects despite Percy still wearing it. In The Lightning Thief, Percy bitterly thinks that his father should be able to just make a phone appear to call him. In this book, Poseidon does in fact call Percy on a mortal landline and Percy suspects that Poseidon plugged his phone straight into the undersea transatlantic cable which gives Poseidon very good reception.I will be doing a brief North American tour for the book in the fall, as I have done in the past (pre-Covid). Unfortunately, I don’t have the time or bandwidth to do an international tour. My apologies to my global readers! Hopefully we will be able to offer some of the US events on line if you want to join us from abroad. As soon as I have details on the tour, I will post them on my blog. The half-bloods have been preparing for battle against the Titans all year, even though they know their chances of victory are grim. Meanwhile, the Olympians are struggling to contain the monster Typhon and Kronos has begun to advance on New York City. First up: the cupbearer of the gods, Ganymede, is missing his golden chalice. Not only is this embarrassing (why do the gods keep losing their magical items?), it's also potentially disastrous. One sip from the cup will turn any mortal into a powerful god. And the old gods do not take kindly to newbies. Other series, like the Kane Chronicles, Trials of Apollo, and Magnus Chase, don’t feature Percy at all. These books, however, are set in the same world. This means that names and places will be familiar. He's never really been given a break to be a kid. Being a half blood doesn't allow you the luxury. I'm almost thankful for it after reading this book simply because he learned so much faster than anyone else that growing up is the most important thing you can do in your life. Loving people, getting to live life beside them, that's the point.

Go to areas that people barely visit and collect the chests to get the chalice easier, examples of places are Port Town and Great Tree. The original heroes from The Lightning Thief are reunited for their biggest challenge yet: getting Percy into college.

First quest: the cupbearer of the gods, Ganymede, is missing his chalice. Not only is this embarrassing. It’s also a potential disaster, since any mortal who happens to drink from the cup will gain immortality. Percy, Annabeth and Grover have to find that chalice and return it to Ganymede before anyone realizes he lost it. These gods . . . they really need GPS tags on their magic items, don’t they? It's revealed that the humidifier and lamp setup that Nico and Will used in The Sun and the Star: A Nico di Angelo Adventure to communicate with Percy and Annabeth via Iris Message was created by Percy to talk with Annabeth before bed every night. Annabeth had a similar setup in her own room.
