Readers of the blog will know I am a huge fan of Percy Jackson (a previous character created by Mr. Riordan). It should, therefore, come as no surprise that I enjoyed every page of this new novel. I had my doubts, being that it focuses heavily on Egyptian mythology. I have never had much of an interest in Egypt. I tended to focus my mythological obsession on Greece and Rome. However, my naivete didn't affect my love of this book even a little. Sadie Kane has a similar lack of knowledge about the myths and history of Egypt so when Carter Kane filled her in, I learned with her.
Once again, Mr. Riordan has done an outstanding job presenting old mythology in a way that we will all (young and old alike) finally remember. I just wish he had written it before I needed it in school! Well done, Mr. Riordan.
