If I had to choose one word to sum up all the books that Rick Riordan writes, I would have to invent a new word. That's my honest answer. If you have never read a Percy Jackson book, or a Kane Chronicles book, or even the Heroes of Olympus series, I have three words of advice for you:1) Crawl out from under that rock you have been hiding under.2) Buy his books and read them.And 3) Read his books over and over again until you have drilled every single word into your brain.If you have never ever ever liked a PJO, HoO, or a KC book, please come with me. We shall go to the nearest mental institution and have your brain checked. I mean, really. Riordan is just to amazing for someone in their right mind not enjoy his books.Now, this is my honest review of the Son of Sobek...Some people would argue that the Son of Sobek was "a waste of my money," or "too short for my liking," but seriously. Did you not read the cover? It obviously declares that it's a "SHORT STORY" which therefore, by definition, makes it a "SHORT STORY." It's shocking to me how so many people reviewed it poorly because of this. I found the length great, actually. The Son of Sobek was a great introduction of possibly a budding new series about the crossover between PJO and the KC series. What's better than our favorite two heroes fighting a giant crocodile and then in the end enjoying burgers at a nearby diner? Nothing is better.The Son of Sobek (as noted in the title) really did satisfy my inner fangirl. It will certainly keep my mind out of the mishap Percabeth is in currently. I really really really really REALLY hope this took place AFTER the Mark of Athena. I just want my Percabeth to be okay... Zeus knows what troubles they're facing in Tartarus! Sorry...
Summary pretty-much says it all; it's a nice short story that satisfies our Percy Jackson craving, and gives us a great crossover while we're at it.One criticism, though: it did seem a little... fanficky. That's not a knock against its quality (sometimes fanfics are written by really good authors), but rather a remark about its impact on the canon universe. The way it ends, it seems to be foreshadowing a big impact on both canon universes, and following up on the vision at the end of the Kane Chronicles. I really hope that's the case! :) But there's also a big problem with that... it's never established just how this fits into Percy Jackson's story. If this story is supposed to have any sort of greater impact on Percy Jackson and Carter Kane, then we need to know how, and especially when, this fits into Percy's story. Without that, we're left with tantalizing clues that this will have a major impact in the future, but also left with a sense that it CAN'T have an impact in the future, because this story doesn't fit into the canon universe anywhere.It obviously takes place after the start of the Heroes of Olympus series, because escaping through the Doors of Death is mentioned. But it takes place with Percy in Long Island. But Percy hasn't been back to Long Island since the start of the Heroes of Olympus series; first he was asleep, and then he was in California, then Alaska, then back to California, and then they pretty-much flew straight to Rome. They never stopped in New York, and certainly not in a context where Percy could just go off on his own to hunt a random monster that was killing pegasi. So... does this story take place in the future, after the end of the Heroes of Olympus series? That's about the only theory that makes sense...
