The Dark Prophecy Audiobook free – Trials of Apollo 2

About The Dark Prophecy Audiobook free

The Dark Prophecy Audiobook free is an American fantasy audiobook based on Greek and Roman mythology written by Rick Riordan. You need to know that The Dark Prophecy Audiobook free is the second audiobook in a series that’s a spin-off of a Percy Jackson Audiobook spin-off series.

Did you follow that? The Percy Jackson and the Olympians Audiobook series came first, then the Heroes of Olympus Audiobook. It helps to read them both before digging into the Trials of Apollo Audiobook series.

It has been published in hardcover, paperback, audiobook, ebook, and large-print editions. To date, The Dark Prophecy Audiobook has been translated into 7 languages from its original English.

The plot of The Dark Prophecy Audiobook

Zeus has punished his son Apollo – god of the sun, music, archery, poetry, and more – by casting him down to earth in the form of a gawky, acne-covered sixteen-year-old mortal named Lester. The only way Apollo can reclaim his rightful place on Mount Olympus is by restoring several Oracles that have gone dark. What is affecting the Oracles, and how can Apollo/Lester do anything about them without his powers?

After experiencing a series of dangerous – and frankly, humiliating–trials at Camp Half-Blood, Lester must now leave the relative safety of the demigod training ground and embark on a hair-raising journey across North America.

Fortunately, what he lacks in godly graces he’s gaining in new friendships – with heroes who will be very familiar to fans of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians and Heroes of Olympus series. Come along for what promises to be a harrowing, hilarious, and haiku-filled ride…

Why should you listen to The Dark Prophecy Audiobook free?

If you like fighting mythological creatures and impossible quests that lead to more impossible quests and more fighting mythological creatures, you will thoroughly dig this sequel.

By the end of the audiobook you’ll need the help of Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory, just to recall when Apollo and friends fought the giant serpent, when they were set upon by pits of smaller venomous snakes or weird creatures with faces below their armpits, or by Germani soldiers, or by helmeted fighting ostriches. It’s all big fun, but it does blur together after a while.

There’s less focus on character development here than in the first book, The Hidden Oracle, mostly because Apollo has already accepted his fate as a tortured mortal. His endearing relationship with Meg, his polar opposite, continues to develop on the sidelines of all the action.

And the dedication of the ex-hunter couple Emmie and Jo to their mortal life as parents in the Waystation adds nice depth to the story. Blink, and you’ll miss it, though. The Dark Prophecy is back to the action quicker than one of Artemis’ Hunters can draw her bow.
