It wouldn’t be a Rick Riordan novel without orphans, kid geniuses, kid warrior/athletes, and kid leaders. The main character is an Indian girl (who addresses colonialism!) and one of her closest friends is autistic. Then of course, there’s the diverse cast. Maybe I need to re-try it? If it’s half as fun as this novel was, I am definitely missing out. I tried to read it when I was a teenager, and just did not get into it. I also have to admit that I never actually read (…or I guess completed) 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Instead, there’s ships, submarines, giant octopi, dolphin friends, sci-fi weapons, crazy science, hidden islands, treasure, AI, and so much more! I’m used to his books always involving mythological Gods and creatures and super powers of sorts, so it was a fun experience to get something different from him. So, basically, writing my review is going to be interesting….Ana and her freshman class do witness something terrible in the very beginning of this book, that had me put this book down and go, “WOAH.” Riordan does not shy away from action and suspense in his books, but that was a MAJOR opening.Īnd then because it’s a Rick Riordan novel stuff goes a little fantasy/sci fi. This is one of those situations where the summary doesn’t really summarize the book much at all….But, also, it kind of can’t, without giving HUGE things away.
In a race against deadly enemies, Ana will make amazing friends and astounding discoveries about her heritage as she puts her leadership skills to the test for the first time.
