Don't read this until after you've read The Kane Chronicles and both Percy Jackson and the Olympians and the Heroes of Olympus series because these take place after all of those books. I really enjoyed the stories though, and seeing the Kanes in action again was awesome! It makes me want to reread all of the Riordan's mythology books.
Overall Rating: 4/5
This book contains three connecting stories for a Percy Jackson and Kanes crossover. I'm sure they were published separately somewhere, but this has them all in one book. The first two stories have the two boys meet, and then the two girls meet, and the final one brings all four together.
There are a few pictures clumped together in the last story. I don't think that was good placement. They could have been spread around to be in tandem with the events they represent, but whatever. I also noticed in Sadie's solo picture, she's missing her highlights.
-The Son of Sobek: 4/5
I love how Carter and Percy met. That part was well done and amusing. This story is told from Carter's perspective, and the two spend pretty much the whole story in combat.
-The Staff of Serapis: 3/5
This one is told from Annabeth's perspective. Annabeth and Sadie have an action packed adventure combating a resurrected god. Neither of them are favorites of mine, but I didn't mind this story. It was better than I expected considering who the main characters were.
I think it's funny how for once Percy was more cautious about something than Annabeth. I thought she would have had the same thoughts as Carter did in the first story, but she didn't. She just rolled with everything, no secrets, without a second thought.
-The Crown of Ptolemy: 4/5
The final story, told by Percy. It was kind of him to make his first meeting of Carter sound more dignified than it actually was.
This story shows a lot of mixing of Greek and Egyptian magic. It made the story and combat rather interesting.
I love how Carter and Sadie are just like alternate versions of Percy and Annabeth.

Oficialmente estoy al día con el Riordanverse y no se como sentirme. Great crossover, though. No sabía que necesitaba la amistad entre Sadie y Annabeth (y Percy diciendo que su hija con Annabeth sería como Sadie) but here we are.
I always love Riordan's writing and this book was no exception. I loved how he combined the 2 worlds. I wish there was a whole series of the Greeks and Egyptians like there was with the Romans. I would enjoy that.

I wish I could give it 3.5. I did like the book but not as much as some of the Percy books. It's well worth reading though.
I must admit that I was a bit hesitant about this apparent young adult crossover of the century but Demigods & Magicians: Percy and Annabeth Meet the Kanes is a really fun collection of three short stories. Rick Riordan brings his Greek & Egyptian worlds together in a comedic, splashy, and action-packed fashion that highlights the shared themes of the two series. The only downside was that the stories were so short there wasn’t as much time to get invested nor were there any of the emotionally impactful goodness that really makes Rick Riordan’s characters shine. Other than those minor complaints, these three stories form a fast-paced, mythologically-sound, and downright joyful quick read for fans of both The Kane Chronicles & Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
3 / 5
Aunque fue un crossover que esperaba, me decepciono de cierta forma, porque esperaba más pero, ea un libro complementario, así que no le podía pedir mucho.
Mi historia fav fue la de Serapis, es que simplemente Sadie y Annabeth son tan TOP que las adoro con mi alma ♡♡♡
Mi frase fav del libro fue en la tercera historia, cuando Percy y Annabeth se besan es tan aaahhh
