( / ˈ r aɪər d ə n/ RIRE-dən born June 5, 1964) is an American author, best known for writing the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series. Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard trilogy.Percy Jackson & the Olympians pentalogy.I love how Carter and Sadie are just like alternate versions of Percy and Annabeth. It made the story and combat rather interesting. This story shows a lot of mixing of Greek and Egyptian magic. It was kind of him to make his first meeting of Carter sound more dignified than it actually was. She just rolled with everything, no secrets, without a second thought. I thought she would have had the same thoughts as Carter did in the first story, but she didn't. I think it's funny how for once Percy was more cautious about something than Annabeth. It was better than I expected considering who the main characters were. Neither of them are favorites of mine, but I didn't mind this story. Annabeth and Sadie have an action packed adventure combating a resurrected god. This one is told from Annabeth's perspective. This story is told from Carter's perspective, and the two spend pretty much the whole story in combat. I also noticed in Sadie's solo picture, she's missing her highlights. They could have been spread around to be in tandem with the events they represent, but whatever. There are a few pictures clumped together in the last story. The first two stories have the two boys meet, and then the two girls meet, and the final one brings all four together. I'm sure they were published separately somewhere, but this has them all in one book. This book contains three connecting stories for a Percy Jackson and Kanes crossover.
