I think Carter and Sadie are better than Percy Jackson (says the person who is currently reading HoO #2). I think, you see a unique brother-sister relationship in this book. I also love that that you get to see the events in both Carter and Sadie's eyes and you can actually feel what they're feeling. I was EASILY able to explore their emotions which made this book so much better than PJO series where you only get Percy's view.(less)
