Our Review

When Apollo's backup singers go from quartet to trio, Percy Jackson and his satyr friend Grover find themselves on an urgent quest through New York City to track down a rogue living statue before her divine voice causes chaos. This short story drops readers right into the action as three golden women—the Chryseae Celedones—appear, singing one blissful but incomplete chord, leaving our heroes to solve a mythological mystery on a tight deadline. The premise perfectly captures the blend of modern setting and ancient Greek mythology that defines the Percy Jackson universe, delivering a compact adventure that feels both fresh and familiar.

Riordan's signature humor shines as Percy navigates the absurdity of chasing a missing celestial backup singer while dealing with Apollo's diva demands, offering the same witty narration and buddy-comedy dynamic with Grover that fans adore. This story serves as a satisfying snack for readers craving more camp half-blood adventures between the main series installments, delivering all the charm and chaos of a full-length quest in a condensed format. It’s a swift, entertaining reminder of why we follow this demigod—even his side missions come with world-ending stakes and a solid dose of laughter.
