Now, I'd like to start off by saying that I enjoyed the book, probably more so than I did The Son of Sobek. It had a clear plot line, and as with all of Riordan's books had a clear cliffhanger. He left room for their to be another sequel to this book, which is great!
I think Annabeth and Sadie connected well. They are a good duo in my opinion. But there is one thing in this book that I couldn't get past, and couldn't understand.
When was it taking place? It stated that it was weeks after the events of The Son of Sobek, and I believe The Son of Sobek took place after The Last Olympian, but that makes no sense. There are clear references to events that occurred during The Heroes of Olympus series, such as
- Battling the giants (plot of The Heroes of Olympus)
- Battling Chaos (The House of Hades)
- People turning into animals (Frank, The Heroes of Olympus)
- Specific quotes from Frank (The Lost Hero)
- Yankee hat not working (The Lost Hero)
- Argo II (The Heroes of Olympus)
It just doesn't make sense time-wise, and I got really annoyed by that. Anyways, if you haven't read it yet, don't worry, and if you have to, you can wait until May. It's nothing spectacular.
Thanks for Reading!
