The Throne of Fire

    Rick Riordan has again outdone himself with this addition to the Kane Chronicles, The Throne of Fire. After reading the first book I wasn't sure he would be able to pull off a book as good as the first, but he definitely proved me wrong. This fiction and action-packed book left me wanting more after every chapter. This is a sequel as I mentioned before and you will definitely need to read the first book to understand this one. This book is about a brother and sister named Carter and Sadie Kane who are very powerful Egyptian magicians. They work together to fight the forces of Chaos and have to do a lot of it on their own. It is definitely a very fun and exciting book!

    As I said before, Carter and Sadie are young Egyptian magicians who study their magic at their uncle's home. Being blood of the Pharaohs, Sadie and Carter are very powerful but because of that power they are often in extreme danger. Carter receives a vision that the world will be destroyed in just 4 days because the overall master of Chaos Apophis is rising. If Carter and Sadie can't awaken the long rested king of the gods Ra soon, the entire world will be destroyed by the evil serpent Apophis and his forces of Chaos. 

    Carter and Sadie are challenged with this very dangerous quest and accept it knowing that they could easily die and fail. In order to awaken Ra they must first find the heavily protected sections of the Book of Ra. Without much knowledge on where to find the sections, Carter and Sadie travel with a new friend named Bes. Bes is the god of dwarfs and helps Carter and Sadie on their quest and he helps them search for the sections of the Book of Ra. Throughout the quest the Kanes are tested and pushed to their limits. They battle demons and even gods who side with the forces of chaos. Carter and Sadie face some of their hardest challenges, and it definitely makes this book very intriguing. 

    This book is definitely one of the most interesting books I've read. Learning about the Egyptian mythology and the many different things their culture had is one of my favorite parts about reading this series. I love how Riordan uses real events that have happened on this earth and has given reasons of how magic forces caused them and that what we think is completely wrong. That great imagination is really one of the reasons I think I like this book so much. It is very entertaining and the humor that Riordan adds just makes the book that much better. 

    I seriously enjoyed reading this book and it was very entertaining. The great mythology and crazy magic is such an interesting thing and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a fun book to read. Just remember to read the first book in the series before you read this one!
