Such a fun re-read! I think The Kane Chronicles is definitely one of Riordan's more slept-on series. Carter and Sadie are such fun narrators; sibling dynamics in high-stakes books are always fun to read and explore. Had a fun time getting back into this trilogy.

Uncle Rick's books are a huge source of comfort for me and I will continue to read and reread them until the end of eternity.

The last time I read this I had to be in like the 5th or 6th grade. It’s fun to come back and feel all the excitement I felt when I first read it.

kommatator's review against another edition

3.0

Manchmal muss man sich eingestehen, dass man zu alt ist. 
Ich konnte die "Stimmen" von Carter und Sadie nicht unterscheiden, entsprechend unausgereift empfand ich die Erzählung. Das Buch ist grundsolide und definitiv empfehlenswert für Kinder- und Jugendliche.
