Percy Jackson for Catholicism! Though imma be honest and say this wasn't as good as Riordan's series. I liked the overall idea of the power of faith and can definitely see this going over well in religious households and giving parents a way to talk about religion and church history that isn't dry. I was fascinated by relics and the saints as a kid and would have been super into this. Hopefully Arroyo grows as a MG writer as the series progresses.

The plot was solid, but the writing was mediocre at best.
