The Greeks had little respect for animal-headed figures, and so a Greek-style anthropomorphic statue was chosen as the idol, and proclaimed as the equivalent of the highly popular Apis.

Serapis continued to increase in popularity during the Roman Empire, often replacing Osiris as the consort of Isis in temples outside Egypt. The cultus of Serapis was spread as a matter of deliberate policy by the Ptolemaic kings. The cult of Serapis was created during the third century BC on the orders of Greek Pharaoh Ptolemy I Soter of the Ptolemaic Kingdom in Egypt as a means to unify the Greeks and Egyptians in his realm.

More than just the novelty of Annabeth and Sadie meeting and working together to kick divine butt, what I really liked about “The Staff of Serapis” was how Riordan was able to connect the Greek and Egyptian mythologies using a god that was worshiped in Greek-controlled Alexandria. When I reviewed “The Son of Sobek”, I commented that these Percy Jackson / Kane Chronicles crossovers were cool but might not fly because the Greek and Egyptian worlds that Riordan created were too different. ![]() Review Summary: A more cohesive, more imaginative, and mythologically richer crossover than “The Son of Sobek”, but still too formulaic.

I was a tiny bit annoying for me, but when the romance did appear it was pretty impressive! So, I am looking past the lack of romance until the story is almost over because Mariana nailed the ending. How slow you ask? Well, the book is just about 600 pages, and the romance doesn’t even start until about 460 pages in □. I get it, everyone told me it was slow, but I couldn’t believe the snail pace of the story! I’m not even saying this in a bad way, but it’s important to note that when readers say it’s a slow burn they really mean it. ![]() I think one of my biggest dislikes about this book though is how SLOW the romance was. I smiled a LOT when I was reading this one and watching the characters grow TOGETHER was an amazing experience for me. ![]() Zapata’s novels are extremely unique and her ability to bring such an epic love to the pages while also slowly building the romance within the story is incredible.
