About this eBook

The fifth book in the bestselling spin off series from Percy Jackson and the Olympians - now a major Disney+ series!

Though the Greek and Roman crew members of the Argo II have made progress in their many quests, they still seem no closer to defeating the earth mother, Gaea. Her giants have risen - all of them - and they're stronger than ever.

The gods, still suffering from multiple personality disorder, are useless. How can a handful of young demigods hope to persevere against Gaea's army of powerful giants? As dangerous as it is to head to Athens, they have no other option. They have sacrificed too much already. And if Gaea wakes, it is game over . . .

Return to the World of Percy Jackson in the best-selling, brand-new adventure featuring the original hero in Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Chalice of the Gods – out now!

And don't miss the trio's next adventure in Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Wrath of the Triple Goddess, coming soon!

Ratings and reviews

The book is fine. I seriously don't understand why Percy and Annabeth were not having their POVs in it! Nico and Reyna were awesome but Piper was really boring(no offence). Rick what have you done to our Leo! I loved his character before this book but all he did in BoO was to act like a lovesick puppy and the end was a big sucker. So overall BoO was not even close to what the fans expected.

What hazel saw in the cross roads after they met mountain gods could u do a book of what COULD have happened after that about frank in the tunnel hurt majorly, and hazel in the corridor looking dizzy and perch and Anna beth at the hands of Giai's favourite son the void my tablet won't let me say his name (he mite smell me out online better stop talkin

Wtf dud he do, talk about rushed endings. It was as if percy and Annabeth weren't even part of the quest, they didn't even have a pov. Worst book of both series by far.
