Our view
“The Chalice of the Gods” is a light, funny reunion with Percy Jackson and his friends that trades on affection for the original five books. Readers who return for the characters and the wisecracking voice get what they came for, while some find the premise too silly and the story slighter than the earlier quests. Under three hundred pages, it is a quick treat for fans, though it assumes the earlier books.
