Another delightful adventure with Carter and Sadie Kane! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Not too much to add to my review of The Red Pyramid as the style and things I enjoyed about this one are much the same. I had fun with some of the new characters from this one, especially Bes and Tawaret. Though we do get some resolution on the driving plot of reviving the sun god Ra and stopping the world from ending (!!!) this book is definitely poised as a "to be continued" (my husband was especially annoyed at the "lack of a conclusion" though I am more used to the fantasy series "not everything will be resolved in this book" issues so it didn't bother me). Sadie also has a birthday and some troubles in the romance department. All very cute and humorous. If you liked the first book, definitely continue with the series. I think this one is equally strong. And, if you haven't read The Red Pyramid, what are you waiting for? This series is smart, hip, funny, full of adventure, and even a little bit sweet at times. My husband and I both really enjoyed it.
I highly recommend it, especially for road trips. It will keep you engaged.

I liked this better than the first one actually! i loved the character development and the bigger picture that we’re getting! also: Walt ❤️ and the minor gods are more fun than the bigger ones.

Yet another Rick Riordan reread in the bag. This trilogy is so fun, but I don’t think it holds up as well as the original Percy Jackson books. And the romance is just…messy all around, with the love triangle of sorts.
