Book Review: Demigods & Magicians by Rick Riordan

August 6, 2016 By pgarry

Rick Riordan, since finishing his first series, Percy (Perseus) Jackson and the Olympians, has also written the The Heroes of Olympus, based on Greek and Roman mythology, The Kane Chronicals, based on Egyptian mythology, and Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard, based on Norse mythology.

Demigods & Magicians brings together Percy Jackson and Annabeth of The Olympians with Sadie and Carter, kids who are magicians working with Egyptian magic and gods – including lot of animal deities.

Maybe I’ve just read this book too soon – but it really does read like a kids book – grades 5 to 8 maybe. Lots of magic, lots of amazement, lots of Egyptian lore. And yet… not much connection.
