- i already miss carter and sadie ))): i hope they show up in Rick's new PJO trilogy.
- Viewing Percy through the pov of other Riordanverse characters is one of my favorite things about these spinoffseries.
- 3. Setne deserved a full book as a Kane villain.

The Son of Sobek: PERCYYYYYYYYYY. Oh my god i missed him so much. It’s good to be back! This was SO FUN. i love Percy and i love Carter and seeing them interact??? Chef’s kiss. Both of them are hilarious. The fight scene was incredible. i love seeing Percy from other people’s perspectives. He’s SCARY!!. Carter!!! Holding his own against and schooling Percy Jackson! Good for him. i can’t wait for him to meet Annabeth so he can finally have some intelligent conversation.
The Staff of Serapis: I didn’t enjoy this quite as much as Son of Sobek but still a good time! Very much enjoyed getting Annabeth’s POV. i feel like Sadie and Percy are both so chaotic and that’s why Rick decided to make Carter and Annabeth the POV characters, since they actually think things through. This was a really sweet team up. i think it’s hilarious how Carter and Percy instantly tried to kill each other but Annabeth and Sadie became bffs.
The Crown of Ptolemy: THAT’S CINEMA. I was so excited for this particular story. Percabeth + the Kane siblings? What could go wrong. The Kane’s really carried in the first half cause Percy and Annabeth were getting COOKED goddamn. i love how Percy’s inner monologue while getting his ass BEAT is just “Gotta get to Annabeth, gotta get Annabeth out of here, can’t let him use his magic on Annabeth.” That’s a real man!!! Loved the Carter/Annabeth and Percy/Sadie bonding. Delightful. Every duo needs an off the walls bat shit insane impulse decision maker and a smart analytical down to earth planner.

I love this crossover! I should have read it before Brooklyn House Magician’s Manual though. I had the wrong order.

Cute stories, I loved the crossover between the two worlds. I just wish this was a whole book instead of the three separate stories.

It's hovering between 'liked' and 'really liked', because I love all four characters that are in this collection, but I didn't feel that incredibly satisfied while reading it. It's funny, got great mythology in it (especially when stuff that was covered in my uni module got mentioned!), had adorkable Percabeth moments...but it just didn't feel that special. It just lacked the special *zing* or whatever that would elevate it to the 'ohmygosh I absolutely must re-read this book'/'oh wow I can't put it down' etc. level.
However, it definitely hints strongly at a full-length Greek-Egyptian crossover series, for which I would absolutely die for (figuratively)!! And I really feel compelled to re-read the two PJO/HoO series and The Kane Chronicles, so there's that. I think I need to re-douse myself in Percabeth to re-awaken that fangirl shipper flame that appears to have fizzled slightly.
