I love this book and have loved these books since I was a child but on reread as an adult I had to dock half a star because of the relationship between Sadie and Anubis. It really made me physically uncomfortable to read their scenes...why would Rick Riordan think it was ok to write about a romance between a 12-year-old child and a 6,000-year-old man.  When I was a kid I never realized how messed up it is for an adult to be attracted to a 12-year-old and now that I am an adult this relationship is so creepy. I'm sorry but I don't care how much he looks like a teenager or how cool and interesting Sadie is...there is no excuse for writing a relationship like this.
