The bottom line of this review is that if you liked any of Riordan's previous books you'll like this one also. It has all the features we've come to love about Riordan's books. We have young protagonists who are suddenly empowered with great abilities but are at the same time expected to deal with great challenges and shoulder enormous responsibilities. They are aided by more mature allies but ultimately they shoulder the burden alone. The action is fast paced and almost non stop with frequent changes of locale both in the familiar mundane world and a fantasy world. Much use is made of ancient myths and legends (in the present case Egyptian) which are contrasted sharply with and integrated curiously into modern times. The latter is a primary source of the book's humor.

There are a few things that a prospective reader should be aware of. First, the book is the second of a three volume series; they should be read in order for maximum enjoyment and the least confusion. None of Riordan's series can be jumped into at any point. Second, Riordan in this series changes points of view between siblings Carter and Sadie every two chapters. It can be a little difficult to climb out of one character's head and into another if reading for extended periods. Third, like all Riordan books the present book is heavily (and ingeniously) plotted so there is more than a little demand on the reader's attention; read at least a chapter or two at a sitting.

Highly recommended. Adults and children alike can enjoy this series.

The Throne of Fire The Kane Chronicles Book 2 Rick Riordan 9780120000388 Books Reviews

I really like Rick Riordan's books, starting with Percy Jackson series. I like that he uses mythology and humour in his books. I have always loved mythology and this is a great series to get my sons reading. In fact, it was my oldest son and my sister who got me into Riordan's books.

This is the second book of the Kane's Series/Egyptian Mythology. This is written in first person from each sibling's point of view (POV). Each chapter is a different POV. Some writers have a hard time writing different voices for their characters and when they try this the characters sound the same. However, Riordan does a good job of keeping Sadie and Carter's voice distinct.

I bought this one to replace the one that disappeared. It has been awhile since I read the Kane Series.
Rick Riordan starts another great story! I am a great fan of Percy Jackson, and was excited to see a new series. The author introduces new characters but has not changed his style of getting you to know and care about them, until they become real people to the reader. Too many dismiss books nowadays as copies or derivatives of older well known works. In that light , everything can be considered a copy of something else. I always approach a book or series to see if it can grab my attention and invest me in the story or characters. Rick Riordan has not disappointed me yet.
I love a good book. My favorites are usually modern day stories about normal people with a little bit of magic thrown in to make it interesting. I originally started reading the Percy Jackson series because my granddaughter liked the movie. So I bought her the series and we read at least a chapter or two every time we spend a few hours together. My girl does most of the reading and I sort of explain the parts or words she doesn't understand. We've almost finished all of the Percy Jackson series. And I must confess, since I read just a bit faster, I've moved onto the Lost Hero series. It started a bit slower than the other books. But as I read the story I found myself wondering how it was going to play out. Greek mythology is just as fascinating as Roman mythology. I like that they're being mixed together and how these series are overlapping. The message I see in both series is one of honesty, and friendship and trust. The concept of right and wrong should be installed into young people at an early age. Age appropriate explanations of actions and consequences. These books have helped my granddaughter, who is just about 8 years old, to learn to think about what will happen once she has said or done something. I'm thankful there are stories that have captured her interest and attention. She is also beginning to understand that the lessons these books are helping her to learn will help her throughout her life!! That is the best compliment I can give to any author and his/her stories.
As a huge fan of Percy Jackson, I was so excited to continue the adventure with The Heroes of Olympus. After reading this book, the first in the series, I'm neither satisfied nor disappointed. It was nice to dive back in to the world of Camp Half-Blood but I just couldn't get too involved with the new characters like I did with Percy and his crew. I also purchased the second book to try and get more into it, that book will determine whether I continue the series or not.
As for if I would recommend this book, I'd say it's worth a try. -)
