Hello! I'm back again, with a new review for a not-so-new-book-anymore (technically it was a short story): The Staff of Serapis written by none other than Rick Riordan. Some of you will know that last summer I took a dive and started reading Percy Jackson, and then later onto the Heroes of Olympus. This year I intend on tackling the Kane Chronicles (which I still haven't finished). Anyway, when I found out he was writing a short story featuring Annabeth Chase and Sadie Kane (two of my favorite characters) that would serve as a sequel to the first crossover he did (The Son of Sobek, which featured Percy Jackson and Carter Kane), I was excited and couldn't wait to read it. And I finally got to. Onto the review!
Synopsis:
On her way home from an interview, Annabeth Chase discovers a strange new monster; when curiosity gets the best of her, she finds herself in the midst of something far more stranger than she first thought.
Review:
I must say, I particularly liked this short story. It was nice, funny, had plenty of action in it, and Annabeth and Sadie worked very well together. While, admittedly, I read this before finishing the Kane Chronicles (which I'm still reading, I keep getting distracted), it didn't diminish the quality, although you'd probably have to some basic knowledge of the Kane Chronicles/Percy Jackson lore to get a better grasp on the story-line and references. I'm not quite sure when this takes place during each series, but I imagine this is set after the events of the Heroes of Olympus series, I'm not sure. All I know was that it was a really good read, and I'll definitely be reading it again!
