‘Wrath of the Triple Goddess’: Percy Jackson Lights Up His Own Funeral… Again
|
If you’re anything like me or any of the people who I told about the release of this book, then you’ll be surprised to find out that Rick Riordan is still writing Percy Jackson. Nonetheless, it seems our good friend is back on the shelves and ready to take us all on another adventure, so join me in my confusion as we break it all down. Wrath of the Triple Goddess, the seventh book of the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series, is the first piece of new content in the literary world of Rick Riordan since the release of the Disney+ show last year. Along with most of the people I know, I was so disappointed in the show’s portrayal of the story that shaped my love for reading that I began to close the door on that part of my childhood — in my mind, I held a little funeral for my first ever fictional crush.
To be frank, I didn’t even know this book was coming until last Tuesday when it hit the market. Wrath of the Triple Goddess follows high school senior Percy in his quest to obtain a recommendation letter from Hecate, the goddess of magic and witchcraft.
