The Kane Chronicles follows Egyptian mythology, rather than the Greek in the Percy Jackson books. He created a brand new series, that has apparently no relation to Percy's story, the Kane Chronicles. At first, he was following the formula set by the previous authors, setting his Percy Jackson & the Olympians in a world using elements of Greek mythology. The ending left a nice opening more crossovers, which did come.After the success of J.R.R Tolkien and J.K Rowling in creating a new, magical world, apart from our own, where their books take place, Rick Riordan has sought to replicate the feat. I wouldn’t call them friends, but they’re allies at least. I disliked how they parted ways without knowing too much about each other, but you can’t reveal everything at once sadly. I enjoyed how their bickering turned into teamwork and getting a burger afterwards. Just another day in their crazy lives. They have strengths, skills, and different personalities, but are both good fighters. Carter and Percy balance each other out just like their partner. They constantly say the wrong names, break more rules (even if necessary), and a bit more laid back, depending on the situation. Percy being like Sadie, while they do take things seriously, are not as into the things their partners in crime are. Carter being like Annabeth, both liking books, museums, architecture/monuments, and don’t goof off much. The two protagonists joining forces reminded me of of the main characters of both series. It was almost as if they were trying to be the alpha dog or something, which is out of character for them. Had the story been longer it could have been better but it just a short story.Ĭarter and Percy’s brief fight had been a little odd to me because they were just fighting each other while a giant crocodile was on the loose. They fight, join forces, kick butt, and part ways. When he meets Percy they are immediately distrustful, which is a reasonable reaction. It starts off with Carter hunting down a crocodile and then being eaten, which was pretty hilarious. I would have liked to read Percy’s POV, but oh well. It is in Carter Kanes point of View (POV) throughout the entire story. The Son of Sobek is a short story that introduces the two series.

Though the crossover stories came out a few years ago, I hadn’t expected them to come out at all. There is The Son of Sobek, The Staff of Serapis, and The Crown of Ptolemy. The stories go in the order listed. It’s a crossover of the Kane Chronicles and Percy Jackson series. Some of you may not know about the crossover stories Rick Riordan had written.
