We are going to start this in the next couple days if you want to join in :) I'll stop back in when I've got the book!!


Little Bee (littlebeesreads) Let me know when you are ready :)

Just got the email from my library, I'll be picking it up this afternoon!


Little Bee (littlebeesreads) Great! I started the other book I had gotten from the library yesterday while I waited...I am almost finished haha. I will probably finish it tonight and start Red Pyramid :)


Kathy Horsman (kathywithak27) | 1340 comments Mod
Excellent, I'll be able to start when I get it too :) and if anyone else wants to read feel free to jump in!


Kathy Horsman (kathywithak27) | 1340 comments Mod
Got it!
and started it!


Little Bee (littlebeesreads) I am going to pick up where I had started the other night! woot!!


Kathy Horsman (kathywithak27) | 1340 comments Mod
Oh man, a whole new set of gods to keep straight..I don't know how he keeps everything together lol


Little Bee (littlebeesreads) lol I havent gotten to gods yet....I am on Chapter 2, I plan on getting a lot of it read today and hopefully finish this weekend :) I will catch up to you here in a bit I hope!


Kathy Horsman (kathywithak27) | 1340 comments Mod
That's the scary part I'm not much further in...I feel like there are going to be 20,000 more to remember lol


Little Bee (littlebeesreads) I am on chapter 7 now...wow! LOL. I like it. It's good. Riordan is a great author...I am still patiently waiting for the House of Hades to come out though...hahaha...I think at this moment I prefer Percy Jackson and the Heroes of Olympus, but this series has definite promise :)


Kathy Horsman (kathywithak27) | 1340 comments Mod
I don't think I am every going to like anything he writes better than them lol but this is very interesting. I took an ancient Egyptian class in college and I keep going OH I KNOW THAT! All the hieroglyphs and statues are always fascinating


Little Bee (littlebeesreads) I love Sadie's quirkiness. I am at the part she singed off Zia's eyebrows. I like where the story is heading. I'm just ready for it to come together.


Kathy Horsman (kathywithak27) | 1340 comments Mod
I agree. I felt like it all was kinda slow at first but now it's rocking. I would like to more though about the conflict between gods and magicians, and their families involvement, but maybe all in good time?


Little Bee (littlebeesreads) I am now where they discover themselves in paris! so making some sense now!


Kathy Horsman (kathywithak27) | 1340 comments Mod
Oh good! Now I can ask you if you think Zia is really going to be an enemy when they meet again??? I'm not buying it!


Little Bee (littlebeesreads) I don't think so. I'm ending at ch. 19 for the night. I like Bast. I think Zia is up to something though. just not sure what. but I don't think she will be an enemy


Kathy Horsman (kathywithak27) | 1340 comments Mod
Something about Bast doesn't seem right to me, but I still like her. And I think Zia will help them somewhere along the line again.


Little Bee (littlebeesreads) I think we are right around the same place? Or have you progressed much further?

As far as Bast, they are gods...and they seem to be along the same lines as the Greek and Roman...Zia did refer to her as a demon, and that she is trained to kill gods. So maybe, like the other series, Egyptian gods are just as, what is the word I am looking for...shifty?


Kathy Horsman (kathywithak27) | 1340 comments Mod
I think I'm only a couple chapters ahead, shifty might be the word I'd used. Just something about her the rubs me the wrong way but at the time she seems to care about the them, I hope she turns out to be good and not bad.


Little Bee (littlebeesreads) If she turned bad....it would be breaking her promise? that she made to their dad...to protect Sadie. Guess we shall see :)


Kathy Horsman (kathywithak27) | 1340 comments Mod
I'm hoping that's the case, but like you said, these gods I don't know what to think sometimes lol


Little Bee (littlebeesreads) yeah...I want to trust and love them...but they always pull the carpet out from under me!


Little Bee (littlebeesreads) do you think zia could be hosting Nephthys


Kathy Horsman (kathywithak27) | 1340 comments Mod
I do think Zia is hosting her, that's what I was thinking when I asked you about her lol


Little Bee (littlebeesreads) let me know when you finish :)


Kathy Horsman (kathywithak27) | 1340 comments Mod
did you?!?!? lol i havent had a lot of time to read today or last night but tonight I'm sure I'll finish a huge chunk


Little Bee (littlebeesreads) I finished this morning. already put In a request for book 2 :) my luck i will be caught up this series before book 4 in heroes of Olympus comes out lol. I won't say anything. but we can talk about where you are


Kathy Horsman (kathywithak27) | 1340 comments Mod
I just finished the scene where Carter is on the plane and had the dream about the red pyramid....took long enough to get to the title of the book...but it seemed like Set knew he was there?!?!


Little Bee (littlebeesreads) Well. I can't really say too much about it because it'll get explained a little bit. But set is also associated with red so it makes sense for his pyramid to be a Red Pyramid :-) but like I said it'll explain it all real soon


Kathy Horsman (kathywithak27) | 1340 comments Mod
Oh I got that, big red dude= big red pyramid lol but it just took forever to find said "red pyramid" that it is titled for.

And I'm catching a theme in his books, Gods + Mortal spawns = must work together to save world. Got it. Although I thought Thoth mentioning Hermes was funny.


Little Bee (littlebeesreads) Oh I love that part. I also like how in the book a couple times they referenced in Manhattan and not going there lol since that's where you know the the Greek demigods are and tend to be


Kathy Horsman (kathywithak27) | 1340 comments Mod
YES! I chuckled at that reference too. He should do a cross over book between series, that would be interesting


Little Bee (littlebeesreads) That would be interesting! I would read it...I am convinced I will read anything of his. Seriously. He is such a captivating author!! Other than his cliffhanger for The Mark of Athena, I have not been disappointed from a single thing he has written.


Little Bee (littlebeesreads) just got book 2. had to request it from another library. If you want to read it together let me know but I'll probably start it sometime this weekend or Monday. I am going to try and work on a couple other books as well


Kathy Horsman (kathywithak27) | 1340 comments Mod
The cliffhanger I don't hate him for......I hate him for making me wait til OCTOBER to find out what happens!


I just passed the river scene....I am deeply saddened by Bast...

not. cool.


Little Bee (littlebeesreads) Yeah that scene was sad :(

haha yeah...I hate having to wait until October too!!!! ugh!!! why so late in the year?!


Kathy Horsman (kathywithak27) | 1340 comments Mod
I don't know if I trust Amos now either....he just happens to escape???? nope. sketchy.


Little Bee (littlebeesreads) Amos has been sketch from the get go!i like the dynamic between carter and sadie


Kathy Horsman (kathywithak27) | 1340 comments Mod
I didn't think it was going to work at first because they were so different and only spent....what 14 days together since they were 6? But they have surprised me.


Little Bee (littlebeesreads) i am looking forward to seeing how it develops in the next book :)


Little Bee (littlebeesreads) I have been informed of something. If you want me to tell you let me know lOL


Kathy Horsman (kathywithak27) | 1340 comments Mod
uh oh that doesn't sound good....


Little Bee (littlebeesreads) lol no it is great :)


Kathy Horsman (kathywithak27) | 1340 comments Mod
alright, hit me


Little Bee (littlebeesreads) rumor has it, there is a series in the works with carter and percy...from what i understand, we will meet a character in a book in the kane chronicles--Son of Sobek


Kathy Horsman (kathywithak27) | 1340 comments Mod
