![]() ![]() Sadly there are a few things that I wish for this novella series. I loved how Annabeth and Sadie works together, and are willing to try new ideas out to help save the world. ![]() I really enjoy reading The Staff of Serapis. In addition, it is fun to see the reactions of the characters to multiple gods and religions being in existence, especially in Carter’s and Annabeth’s perspectives. Even though they were short, the adventures were fun and exciting. This book takes the perspective of Annabeth as she tells the story. The Staff of Serapis looks at Annabeth and Sadie working together to destroy a god. This book was done in the perspective of Carter. The Son of Sobek, is Percy and Carter having to work together to destroy a giant alligator. I gave both of these books five out of five stars on Goodreads. These two books were the first books that I have read this year, and I enjoyed them. I know that this review is a little late, but I wanted to get these books reviewed before it became Feburary comes. I have decided to combined The Son of Sobek and The Staff of Serapis by Rick Riordan, for review. ![]()
