I think this book was much better than The Demigod Files. I loved all four stories, but especially The Son of Magic! Wow, Rick’s son is just as fantastic, and I feel like his writing style is darker and more mature. I don’t even know if this story is canon to the Riordanverse, but it would make an amazing series. I would rank the other three stories as Luke’s Diary > Quest for Buford > Staff of Hermes. Really good Percabeth moments in the Staff of Hermes, but it just doesn’t have the same impact to the overall series as the other ones.

My main complaint is that this book still uses that horrible old art, and that alone would stop me from owning a physical copy.
