"Not quite as good as the first two books (now published together as Tomorrow's Magic) and with an ending that seems extremely abrupt if it's not (hopefully?) leading to a fourth volume in the series. Still, it earns an extra point just for the chance...more

"The latest installment of the Percy Jackson lives up to and even surpasses some of its predecessors. A fast-moving plot with important developments for the overall arc of the series and a narrator who has clearly matured from the first book while sti...more

Azar said:
"Another wonderful Ten & Martha installment with lots of great, in-character action, a fabulous supporting cast, and a genuinely creepy monster. And, of course, the obligatory sly Old-School nods. :-) This one would've made a really fun episode.

Azar said:
"This is an enchanting alternate-historical fantasy, set in the Victorian era on an Earth where magic is an accepted fact of life and people cross the ocean not on ships but on magic carpets. Once I got past the opening scene (a wedding night that...e...more

read in December, 2007
Azar said:
"Not my favorite of the Campion books, but it's great to finally get to see how he was introduced! I'd recommend it as a first read to anyone wanting to get into the series because otherwise Campion's rather secondary role is a bit jarring, but Campio...more

Azar said:
"Still a good read, but this volume was admittedly hurt in my eyes by Annabeth--my favorite character--being the object of the quest rather than part of it, and therefore missing for most of the book. Like previous installments though, it adds a new d...more

"An excellent second installment in what is proving to be probably my favorite new series for children. Percy and Annabeth grow not just physically but also as characters and as people, Tyson is a great addition to the cast, and Clarisse's involvement...more
