In the Kane chronicles during the dance at the school for the gifted, it shows drew as a bully at that school. Also it’s states on the fandom for her, she attends the school for the gifted.

The Battle of The Labyrinth: The battle that happens after Camp Half-Blood is invaded through the Labyrinth entrance in it.

The Last Olympian: Hestia is the last Olympian because she is always there, at the hearth even as the other gods fight, although she isn't actually an Olympian.

Heroes of Olympus (HOO): The Seven (including Reyna and Nico) are the main characters, descendants of gods, and are fighting to save the world.

Not going to do the smaller stories or even Rick Riordan Presents for now without requests.

So, in The Red Pyramid, we find out that Carter can create an avatar which he is encased in. It mimics Carter’s movements, and is said to have an animal head. But which animal, exactly? Let’s take a look. It’s quote time:

“I threw my staff straight at Zia. It hit the ground at her heels and immediately transformed into a snarling she-lion. Zia whirled in surprise, but then everything went wrong. The lion turned and charged at Carter, as if she knew I was supposed to be dueling him. I had a split second to think: What have I done? Then the cat lunged...and Carter's form flickered. He rose off the ground, surrounded by a golden holographic shell like the one Bast had used, except that his giant image was a warrior with the head of a falcon. Carter swung his sword, and the falcon warrior did likewise, slicing the lion with a shimmering blade of energy. The cat dissolved in midair, and my staff clattered to the ground, cut neatly in half.” -The Red Pyramid.

“I fumbled for the hilt of my sword. My legs felt like they were turning to butter. I wondered if I could pull off that hawk warrior thing again. That had been cool, but it had also been just a duel.” -The Red Pyramid.

Sadie claims it’s a falcon, while Carter says it’s a hawk. This may be due to contrasting ideas of the siblings or just a mistake from the author. The first idea is most plausible in this book:

“I yelled, and a primal surge of power coursed through my body. I felt myself rising off the ground and the golden aura of the hawk warrior forming around me. The Set animal's jaws were pried open so fast that it yelped and let go of my arm. I stood, now encased in a magical barrier twice my normal size, and kicked Leroy into the wall.” -The Red Pyramid.

“I focused my power and felt strength coursing through my body. I flexed my arms and felt Sobek's grip weaken. I summoned the avatar of the hawk warrior and was instantly encased in a glowing golden form as large as Sobek. I could just see him in the dark water, his slimy eyes wide with surprise.” -The Red Pyramid.

But Carter still calls it a falcon:

“But then...I'd been hearing a voice inside me too. A voice that was definitely not mine. I looked at my amulet, the Eye of Horus. I thought about the myths I knew--how Horus, the son of Osiris, had to avenge his father by defeating Set. And at Luxor I'd summoned an avatar with the head of a falcon.” -The Red Pyramid.

“I was vaguely aware of security guards trying to regroup, yelling into their walkie-talkies and calling for help. Travelers were still screaming and running around. I heard a little girl shout: "Chicken man, get the moose!" You know how hard it is to feel like an extreme falcon-headed combat machine when somebody calls you "chicken man"?

“I tried to summon the falcon warrior, but it was too hard to concentrate with a six-ton reptile trying to bite me in half.” -The Red Pyramid.

“I tried to summon the falcon warrior, but the effort made my insides burn with pain. I was out of power, and Horus's spirit was slumbering, completely spent.” -The Red Pyramid.

“The falcon warrior mimicked the movement, perfectly attuned to my wishes.” -The Red Pyramid.

He also says he can turn into a falcon, not a hawk.

“Man, come on. Just do the falcon thing. Would you settle for an emu?…I spread my majestic wings. I had really done it! I was a noble falcon, lord of the sky. I launched myself off the sidewalk and flew straight into the fence.” -The Red Pyramid.

He also calls Horus the ‘falcon god’.

“The falcon god glanced at me, and I saw that his eyes were two different colors--one blazing yellow like the sun, the other reflective silver like the moon. The effect was so disorienting, I had to look away. And when I did, I noticed that Horus's shadow didn't match his form. Stretched across the wheelhouse was the silhouette of a giant falcon.” -The Red Pyramid.

“Don't resist, Zia had told me. She didn't mean resisting Set. She meant Horus. The falcon god and I had been wrestling with each other for days as he tried to take control of my body.” -The Red Pyramid.

Even Sobek does also.

Sobek bared his teeth. Maybe it was his version of a friendly smile. Probably not. “That form does not serve you, falcon god," he said. "I will snap you in half." The Red Pyramid.

He’s even a falcon in the Duat.

“The scene would've been frightening enough, but now I saw it as Isis did. Like a crocodile with eyes at water level--seeing both below and above the surface--I saw the Duat entwined with the regular world. The demons had fiery souls in the Duat that made them look like an army of birthday candles. Where Carter stood in the mortal world, a falcon warriorstood in the Duat--not an avatar, but the real thing, with feathered head, sharp bloodstained beak, and gleaming black eyes.” -The Red Pyramid.

We’ve taken note of that, right? Moving on. It seems things have changed in the next books.

We get a different side in the book’s successor:

“My body began to glow. I rose off the ground. For the first time since New Year’s, I was encased in the avatar of the hawk god—a falcon-headed warrior three times my normal size.” -The Throne of Fire.

This one is rather interesting. Carter claims that the avatar is falcon-headed, yet indirectly calls Horus the ‘hawk god’. Why the contrast? Or is he using it as a synonym or something? I’ll make a reference to this later. Let’s look at another quote.

“Pain wracked my body. My blood turned cold. The avatar’s limbs shrank, the hawk’s head slowly changing into the head of a serpent. I could feel my heart slowing, my vision darkening. The taste of venom filled my mouth.” -The Throne of Fire.

Now I’m definitely confused. Here, in the same book and the same scene, Carter calls the before mentioned falcon-headed avatar ‘the hawk’s head’. Let’s look at another from the same book.

“My vision turned red, and it had nothing to do with the light in the cavern. I stepped off the boat and summoned the hawk god’s avatar…Typical. I pull something really cool like morphing into a hawk warrior, and Sadie has to show me up.” -The Throne of Fire.

Okay. That’s two books now. It’s time for some Demigods and Magicians:

“The air crackled with power as my combat avatar formed round me – a glowing blue exoskeleton in the shape of Horus. It lifted me off the ground until I was suspended in the middle of a twenty-foot-tall, hawk-headed warrior. I stepped forward, bracing myself, and the avatar mimicked my stance…My vision cleared, and I saw two things that irritated me. First, the crocodile was charging me again. Second, my new friend Percy was just standing in the middle of the street, staring at me in shock. Apparently my combat avatar had startled him so much he’d forgotten his part of the plan. ‘What the creeping crud is that?’ he demanded. ‘You’re inside a giant glowing chicken-man!’ ‘Hawk!’ I yelled.” -The Son of Sobek.

Here, Carter calls his avatar a ‘hawk-headed warrior’, which Percy calls a ‘giant glowing chicken-man’. Let’s look at The Crown of Ptolemy.

“Carter stared at the papyrus. ‘You’re thinking we could invoke an Ancient Greek word the same way we do with hieroglyphs?’ ‘It’s worth a try,’ Annabeth said. ‘Which of you is better with that kind of magic?’ ‘Sadie,’ Carter said. ‘I’m more a combat magician.’ ‘Giant-chicken mode,’ I remembered. ‘Dude, my avatar is a falcon-headed warrior.’” -The Crown of Ptolemy.

Aight. Now, Carter calls his avatar a ‘falcon-headed warrior’ when he clearly stated that it was a ‘hawk-headed warrior’ in The Son of Sobek.

Let’s delve into The Serpent’s Shadow, shall we?

*Please not that all quotes below are extracts from The Serpent’s Shadow if not stated otherwise.

“As for me, I summoned my khopesh from the Duat. I called on the power of Horus, and the glowing blue avatar of the war god formed around me. Soon I was encased in a twenty-foot-tall hawk-headed apparition.”

“Thankfully, the blue aura flickered around me. I landed in the river encased in the glowing body of a twenty-foot-tall hawk-headed warrior.”

“Carter seemed to be having similar trouble with Horus. He summoned the hawk warrior avatar, but almost immediately it dissipated and dropped Carter to the floor.”

“A few hundred feet away, Julian had summoned a full Horus avatar, a giant green hawk-headed warrior with a khopesh in either hand. He sliced away at the serpent’s tail—or at least one version of it—while the tail lashed around and tried to impale him.”

The ‘hawk-headed warrior’ appears in three scenes for Carter and one for Julian, who is following in the path of Horus. This makes a total of four cases. Now, let’s look at that for ‘falcon’.

“Horus ruffled his feathers. “Well, I looked for a falcon, but they’re a little scarce in New York. I wanted something with wings, so a pigeon seemed the best choice. They’ve adapted well to cities, aren’t scared of people. They’re noble birds, don’t you think?”

“This was terrifying, of course, but I stood my ground. Over the past year I’d got rather used to surprises—what with my cat being a goddess, my brother turning into a falcon, and Felix producing penguins in the fireplace several times a week.”

“BRRRAAHHHHH!” The monster thrashed its head. I lost my grip and went sailing across the river like a three-point shot. I would’ve hit the water hard, but at the last second I changed into a falcon. I know...that sounds crazy. Oh, by the way, I just happened to change into a falcon. But it was fairly easy magic for me, since the falcon was Horus’s sacred animal. Suddenly, instead of falling, I was soaring over the Nile. My vision was so sharp I could see field mice in the marshes. I could see Zia struggling in the water, as well as every bristle on the hippo’s massive snout.”

“A beam of sunshine sliced through the dusty air and hit the middle of the floor like a spotlight, but there was no way we could use the shaft to escape. Even if I turned into a falcon, the opening was too narrow, and I wasn’t about to leave Zia alone.”

Let’s take a look at these:

1. Horus says he looked for a falcon, not a hawk.

2. Sadie says Carter can turn into a falcon, not a hawk.

3. Carter says he turned into a falcon, not a hawk. Equally, he states that falcons are the ‘sacred animals of Horus’, not hawks.

4. Carter says that he could turn into a falcon, not a hawk.

If so, then:

1. If Horus is looking for a falcon, then what’s up with the hawk warrior Cater claims to have and be?

2. If she’s seen him turn into a falcon, then why did she say that his avatar had a ‘hawk head’?

3. Carter stated then he could turn into a falcon yet he’s claiming he has a ‘hawk head’ for an avatar. And if falcons are known as sacred animals to Horus, then why did he call him the ‘falcon god’ and later, the ‘hawk god’?

4. If so, the why does he use ‘hawk’ more than ‘falcon’?

These then bring in a string of questions which I have drawn for my conclusion:

1. Is this falcon-hawk feud based on Riordan’s part as an error-in-writing?

2. If the first question is true, the why does he use both falcon and hawk in the same scene and even book?

3. Does Carter (in a form of Rick Riordan) just basically use both birds as synonyms and uses them interchangeably?

4. If so, then why? He’s clearly stated that Horus’ sacred animal is the falcon, yet calms him the ‘hawk god’. And he’s said that he can turn into a falcon, not a hawk.

5. Was Horus known as both the god of falcons and hawks? If so, then why does Carter state that falcons are the sacred animals of Horus, not both?

6. Does the ‘hawk-headed warrior’ only take place when Carter’s not hosting Horus? This theory has a hole already because Carter is shown to have his hawk status after he became Horus’ host for the second time.

7. Why does he call Horus both the ‘falcon god’ and the ‘hawk god’, when, based on evidence, Horus favors falcons and is seen as a falcon in the Duat?

8. How did Percy not notice the change in animal? Though, this claim can be counterclaimed because Percy could have easily forgotten that Carter had called it a hawk. However, this counterclaim can be counterclaimed in view of the fact that Percy could have just been sassy about it and was making jest of Carter’s avatar, and in fact, remembered.

9. Why does Carter change ‘falcon’ to ‘hawk’ when he mentions before that it was a ‘falcon headed warrior’. Does it have something to do with my theory of ‘synonyms and interchangeability’?

10. Did they mention anything about the falcon-hawk mishap in the books?

11. Or is this just one huge mistake?

So what’s the problem?

If you want to comment, please feel free. Tell me what you think about my ‘Conclusion questions’. What are your thoughts about the matter? What do you think is the problem? Thank you, and have a nice time on the Riordan Wiki.

So in one of the TTOA books Chiron said that he was meeting with a cat and a severed head. Does that mean another book series with ALL the characters in it ? Do you guys want that ?

I just wanna know if you guys have ever gotten something incorrect about the Riordanverse and how they got debunked.

Unpopular opinion alert

Am I the only one who can't stand Carter? Don't get me wrong, I don't HATE him, but he is so crazy-obsessed with Zia. It makes me soooo mad, why can't he focus on the actually VERY important things?

Ofc I love Zia, she is an amazing character and everything, but really Carter, you are with a crazy ghost (Setne) and with a demon (Bloodstained Blade) and you just don't care and risk your own life & your mission because Zia collapsed??

I was so pissed off and annoyed.

I get it, he is a teenager but he is completely OBSESSED with her.

At least Sadie was really funny and not completely obsessed with Anubis and Walt.

Also, all the Sadie's part were more easy to read, I found Carter almost boring to read.

Basically I just made a short lil thing with a bunch of wordplay (I used character names. You'll see names from PJO, HoO and KC [I did use Apollo somewhere there, but I wouldn't count that as ToA... idk]. I couldn't find a way to add MCGoA characters, Annabeth I will soon 😉) At the end of this is a list of the puns and what they're meant to be in case y'all didn't get the jokes (but y'all are smart, you'll understand).

I Went to a Bar, The Woods and Then Walked Through The Neighbourhood

I walked into a bar, and it was Silena. Eerily Silena. In the midst of all the quiet, there was a loud gal, Annabeth she wasn’t exactly welcome there. I said to the bartender, “She’s loud.” The bartender replied, “Her name is Tess, and she’s strange as well. She only asks for Hazelnuts. And she says she’s Big on House riding. She apparently hasn’t gotten a chance to take the Reynas and compete.” “I Will one day. Just you wait,” Tess said.

I left the bar and walked through the woods. I found a Grover full of flowers. I saw a piece of wood on the floor, and Underwood you always find dirt and worms.

I left the woods and walked through my neighbourhood. I saw a garden overgrown with weeds. Frankly, I think the owners need a Coach to teach them how to trim their Hedges. I continued my walk and saw 'The Pied Piper' who plays once a week on the street. For some reason, he was screaming, “You will Rue the day you challenged my Grace!”

I forged ahead and heard about Apollo game going on. I also heard about a crazy Dare someone gave. Moving on to other news, someone Drew something amazing. It was a Kane that looked very real. Amos say, people are very talented.

Will: Exactly what it looks like (Will)

Grover: Grove

Underwood: Under wood

Frankly: Exactly what it looks like (Frank)

Coach: Exactly what it looks like, meant to be a reference to Coach Hedge (paired with the next one)

Drew: Exactly what it looks like (Drew. HoO, the annoying one who used to be senior counsellor before Piper took the position)

Kane: Exactly what it looks like (Sadie & Carter)

Amos: I must

That's it. If you liked it, tell me and I'll do more (I tried to add a pun here, but nothing came to mind).

I'd have to say the first. Though enjoyable and brimming with suspense [and, don't get me wrong, slow-burns are the absolute best in my opinion-] the book has plenty of build-up, which is still executed in the book's final moments in an excellent and satisfying manner.
