The Red Pyramid

I liked it. There were, in fact, several things that made me like it more than the first book of the Percy Jackson series.

I think the writing has improved. I like that the most important relationship in this book is familial (sibling, specifically). I like that Carter and Sadie are biracial.

I love Egyptian mythology and history, so to see it used so well - and studied so obviously - made me very happy.
