New series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Rick Riordan.
After angering his father Zeus, the god Apollo is cast down from Olympus. Weak and disoriented, he lands in New York City as a regular teenage boy. Now, without his godly powers, the four-thousand-year-old deity must learn to survive in the modern world until he can somehow find a way to regain Zeus’s favor.
But Apollo has many enemies—gods, monsters, and mortals who would love to see the former Olympian permanently destroyed. Apollo needs help, and he can think of only one place to go . . . an enclave of modern demigods known as Camp Half-Blood.

Novel Novice 
Loki, I think he must still be around. Seems like lots of things can and do go somewhat awry these days
Hermes because he’s witty, can fly, and is fast.
Favorite god/goddess from Greek mythology is Hades and Persephone since I love stories about them and currently I’m reading a comic called Hades’ Holiday by Elvishnes, with its beautiful art and storytelling it’s amazing.
(I asked my roommate this question and she responded with, “Thalia,” since her name is Talia. Yes, of course my favorite goddess is the one with your name 🙂 )
He’s not my favorite per se, but I think Narcissus is hilarious!
My favorite goddess is Athena because she is such a powerful, intelligent female role model.
Artemis, who was the goddess of the woods and protected women.
