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

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.

How many different scenarios can one man create in which the world is about to end? [No, Bog, I'm the one typing. Get away from the keyboard.] All you have to do is read Rick Riordan's books to find out.
In the Throne of Fire, the world is about to end. Again. [Gasp. Sorry, Bog just poked me in the ribs.]
Riordan's prose is generally quite tight, and well written. [Thank you, Bog, I would like a drink.] But, he chose to use the same ridiculous [Yes, Bog, I could have used More...

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

Sadie Kane isn't even a teenager yet, but she and her older brother have four days to find the three pieces of the lost Book of Ra, ressurected the old king of the gods, and help him defeat Apophis, giant snake and lord of chaos. Sucks being a kid, especially if you're the heir of two powerful lines of ancient Egyptian pharaohs. And to make matters worse, the only adults who might be of help, magicians skilled in the Egyptian ways, are convinced that Sadie and Carter are up to no good -- and the

The Throne of Fire is the second book in the Kane Chronicles trilogy. It centres on the first-person perspectives of Carter and Sadie Kane, two powerful magicians, who are best-known for having the intertwining blood of two ancient and magical families (thanks to their parents). It is mostly set in America but the two magicians are often made to leave their home countries and throughout the course of the book, end up in London, Cairo and even Russia. Their purpose is to stop Apophis, the ancient

Overall, I enjoyed the Throne of Fire. I found the plot to be engaging, if a little slow at the beginning, and I liked how Riordan imagines elements of Egyptian myth, especially in the final scenes where the characters are entirely inside the mythological spirit realm, the Duat. It has fantastic new characters, including Egyptian gods, ghosts, and magicians from the House of Life. The standouts for me were Bes and Mad Claude the Roman, whose appearance I found hilarious beyond belief.

Mortals, magicians, and gods all interact in this combination of Egyptian Mythology and the modern world. Magicians, Carter and Sadie, have started their second journey to save the Earth from the forces of chaos. They have no idea the god their up against, or his power. Apophis, the nemesis of the famed sun god and creator of Egypt, Ra, has been slowly weakening the bonds of his prison. If he is able to escape, the world’s economies could be devastated, and more importantly, the world destroyed.

3.5 stars? possibly 4. i liked this a LOT more than the red pyramid. despite the similarities of the world ending if carter and sadie don't fix things; there was much more fullness to this story. yes, it's still an action-packed whirlwind of a tale with some things that have to be overlooked, but when it comes down to it, it's an entertaining read that is gripping and keeps the pages turning.

Carter and Sadie Kane are back. They have collected a small group of young magicians and they have come to the decision that they must go on a quest for the Book of Ra to awaken Ra to fight with Apophis. Both the House of Life and many of the Egyptian Gods believe that Sadie and Carter are making a mistake so they have plenty of people trying to stop them along the way.

So in my last review, I praised the prequel to The Throne of Fire: The Red Pyramid. That book does not even compare to Rick Riordan's sequel, which was a thrilling ride from beginning to end. The characters in this book are more diverse and travel to places a person would not think had any connection to Egypt, until they got there.

This book was a little bit of a disappointment. The author kind of repeated the same plot for book 2. In the first book, they have to so and so in a number of days, otherwise the earth is doomed. This happens again in book 2. The repetitive nature of the book made me lose interest.
In my opinion, Riordan isn't really good a writing romance. It may be because the characters are to young to actually know love and relationships between girls and guys, but I don't think that's the case. More...
