Wow, I can't believe the second book is already coming out! The first one was OK. I liked The Lost Hero, the first of the Hero's of Olympus series better. I really hope this book is good, better than The Red Pyramid. The cover art looks nice, and the title seems cool. HOPEFULLY this book is worth the wait, but I don't want to get overly excited since The Red Pyramid wasn't as good as I hoped it would be. I will totally still read it though! I hope the like this one, and I also can't wait for The...more

The Throne of Fire is the second book in The Kane Chronicles by Rick Riordan, which tells of the adventures of modern day fourteen-year-old Carter Kane and his thirteen-year-old sister Sadie Kane, as they discover that they are descended from the ancient Egyptian pharaohs Narmer and Ramesses the Great.
To be honest, I enjoyed this book more than its predecessor, The Red Pyramid. And I just enjoyed the story more and the humor. But unfortunately, its still not as good as the Percy Jackson and the...more

There were things Sadie and Carter had to do,
like saving the world from the biggest serpent ever, or knocking babbon out of the bridge.
things like that.
but there were also secret things each of them wanted to do and to do that, they had to sacrifice some things. even if there were chances the world was going to collapse in five-days...

okay, 2 stars rate has never happened with Rick Riordan's works, until now. I found The Throne of Fire is really well written with some great twist but this book is so, unoriginal. Let's see.. The world is at the end.Check. Two kids are their savior. Check. Mob of monster and obstacles. Check.
The way they saved the world was predictable. I can even guess that when they gambled with Khonsu. And one more thing, the main charactors were Sadie AND Carter, not just Sadie. I felt like everything was...more

The Throne of Fire by Rick Riordan is one of my favorite books ever. The pacing of this book was perfect. There were not many parts that dragged on for a long time, and if there were, they kept me interested. During the action scenes, the timing of the story was perfect. When ever there was a battle scene, It didn't go on forever, and it wasn't too short. The pacing never made me feel bored, and I enjoyed it a lot. The voice is very is very believable. The story is in 1st person which, to me, h...more

A petición de una amiga mía, Ale, aquí está mi reseña de El Trono de Fuego, segundo libro de Las Crónicas de Kane.
En primer lugar, quizá deba mencionar lo mucho que me gustan las historias de Rick Riordan. Leí toda la saga de Percy Jackson y los Dioses del Olimpo y me encantó, además de que ansío leer más sobre las aventuras de los semidioses y sobre cierta profecía en El Héroe Perdido, primer libro de la saga Los Héroes del Olimpo.
Me encanta la mitología. Griega, romana, nórdica, egipcia, casi...more

I really love this book because it has lots os adventure and mystery. For example Carter and Sadie go into the Duat(A magical place) and try to awaken the sun god Ra(p.400). There is lots of danger ahead like Gods and Serpents(p.410). Another example why it is a good mystery also is that their is a secret that Bes(THE DWARF GOD) is keeping a secret from them(p.160). I really think that you would like this book if you like adventure stories and action happening in the story. One challenge I had w...more
Friends of mine that hate reading are some of the biggest fans of these books. It's great for stubborn non-reading teens/kids. Carter and Sadie are extremely relate-able characters. And now begins my long opinion on Sadie's "romances." First, she is just 13! At that age you should be focused in friends and childhood, because you simply aren't mature enough yet for a relationship. But anyway, Walt is 16, Sadie is 13. That is two completely different maturity levels! I also highly doubt a 16 year...more
A thrilling sequel to "The Red Pyramid" in the Kane chronicles! This sequel is nothing short of an action packed book with some humor! It's almost been a while since their dad released the gods and now they have recruits. After separating from Horus and Isis, Sadie and Carter have been working by themselves in a effort to convince the First Nome that they mean well. Although they don't have as much power at a time since Horus and Isis have left their bodies they are still making good progress. R...more

The Throne of Fire by Rick Riordan is the second of the Kane Chronicles. Carter and Sadie working apart and later together have do everything in their power to stop Apophis and awaken the sun god Ra.
It opens strong with Carter trying to liberate a magical item from a museum, only to have things go horribly wrong. It's a dramatic and funny opening but that initial energy and humor slowly peters out.

I started out trying to read this in print, but it just didn't feel right. I finally got the audio version and it was much better. For one thing, despite the mention of Sadie starting to lose her accent, I heard no evidence which was much more believable. There seemed to be less of the gods in this book which was slightly disappointing. There was more name dropping (lots of it including dozens that I'd never dreamed could have existed), but not a lot of interaction with Horus, Isis and Anubis (a...more

I really enjoyed reading the book The Throne of Fire. It starts with two children named Carter and Sadie Kane, they are always fighting monsters and gods, but when they accidentally release a hord of gods they have to find a way to stop them. In this hord of gods they have unleashed the most powerful god named Apophis which has come back to take his place in the throne. To stop him Carter, Sadie and their trainees must find the three scrolls of The Book of Ra and speak its incantations. Unfortu...more
Okay, I had two problems with this. First, Sadie doesn't fit her age. I know it shouldn't be a big deal, but pretty much from beginning to end this drives me crazy. I worked with twelve and thirteen-year-old girls for awhile and Sadie fits more my experience with fourteen and fifteen-year-old girls. I know that she's always saying how precocious she is, but if you feel the need to assert that regularly as an author, it seems to me you should just upgrade her age. Also, I can see a thirteen-year-...more

I just finished The Serpent's Shadow - the third and last instalment in The Kane Chronicles - and decided that instead of reviewing only that one book, I'd review that whole trilogy.
Now, I love Rick Riordan, he's an amazing writer - probably one of my favourites. He did not disappoint with The Kane Chronicles. It was a great trilogy, and I'm quite sad that it's over. It's focused a lot on Egyptian mythology, just like Percy Jackson and the Olympians in on Greek myth...more

After two months of waiting (and avoiding spoilers), I finally got my hands on this book! I was so excited to start reading it and once I did, I could not stop! The Throne of Fire was one hell of an adventure. Whereas The Red Pyramid had been an introduction to the world where Egyptian gods live among us, The Throne of Fire continues with Carter and Sadie trying to save the world from Apophis.

The Throne of Fire is a much more enjoyable book. It has all the positives of The Red Pyramid – fast paced action, snappy dialogues, presentation of Egyptian myths in a fun way…with less of the negatives (too many characters, undeveloped main characters). This time around, there is more focus on the main characters Carter and Sadie, and it makes the book a little less distracted than the first one.

Ever since the gods of Ancient Egypt were unleashed in the modern world, Carter Kane and his sister Sadie have been in trouble. As descendants of the House of Life, the Kanes have some powers at their command, but the devious gods haven't given them much time to master their skills at Brooklyn House, which has become a training ground for young magicians.
And now their most threatening enemy yet - the chaos snake Apophis - is rising. If they don't prevent him from breaking free in a few days' t

Fantasy- stuff that couldn't happen
Throne of fire is about two magicans who have to raise the god Ra in order to save the world.
I would recommend this book for anyone who likes to laugh.
I gave it a 5 because it is funny and doesn't stop the action.

Riordan's purpose in writing his book, Throne of Fire, is to let his audience know that the story of Sadie and Carter is not over. There trials in the previous book, which was the first, are not over, and that their is much more to come. This book offers hope to the readers in that they can continue to read in hope that they'll be able to fully understand the story of the Kane siblings. It makes you think that chaos might actually triumph over evil based on the events in the book.

Buatku, buku keduanya lebih bagus dari buku satu. Lebih banyak emosi yang muncul. Sedih, bahagia, lucu, cinta, patah hati, pengorbanan, dan tentunya rasa penasaran. Rick Riordan sangat ahli dalam meramu semua ini dalam mitologi Mesir dan membuat pembacanya terus membalik halaman The Throne of Fire.
