One of the best points of humor in the book is the sibling banter between Sadie and Carter. For example, in chapter 11, Sadie says, “Right, I’m taking the microphone”. There is no chance Carter would tell this part properly, as it’s about Zia. Shut up Carter. You know its true. ]” (Riordan 130) “Right, I’m [Sadie] taking the microphone. There is no chance Carter would tell this part properly, as it’s about Zia. Shut up Carter. You know its true. ]” This reminds me of me and my brother when we want to talk about something, readers with siblings will definitely relate to parts of this story. Riordan brings funny elements into almost every story, even when it doesn’t need it, for example, in The Red Pyramid, Riordan writes this. “‘Gnome?’ I [Carter] asked, as we followed him [Amos - a mysterious character] up the stairs. ‘Like those little runty guys?’ ‘Heavens, no,’ Amos said. I hate the gnomes. They smell horrible.’” (Riordan 52). This shows Jordan’s master sense of humor, turning an Egyptian word into a clever pun. The Egyptian word nome means “location or region of the world,” but Carter gets it confused with a garden gnome. Riordan is a very funny person inside his writing and a funny person in general.
