Hey, guys! This is going to be a really quick review.
Rick Riordan wrote this short story as a sort of sequel to his earlier short story, "The Son of Sobek", which stared Carter and Percy from The Kane Chronicles and Percy Jackson. This short story centered on Annabeth and Sadie as they met on a train and attempted to defeat Serapis and his staff.
It was pretty good but was not worth buying. It was about the same as two or three chapters. It felt a bit forced, to be honest. Sadie would say something that really would never come up in conversation to remind the readers of something from The Kane Chronicles. In fact, these references were so heavy that I thought that they were designed so that people who had read only the Percy Jackson series would wonder about penguins or whatever and choose to start Sadie's series.
All of that wasn't to say that I didn't enjoy it. I just felt like it wasn't as good as it could've been. I love, and probably always will love, Rick Riordan's writing style and characters, but I felt like this could've used some work.
All in all, I would not recommend buying it, but I would recommend reading it. Don't expect much going in and you will probably enjoy it. Go see if you can borrow it from a friend, your library, or something else.
Until next time, guys! Happy Reading!
