Last night I stayed up later than I should have just so I could finish reading The Throne of Fire by Rick Riordan. The book quickly became impossible to put down (maybe because of ancient Egyptian magic, I'm not sure). Sadie and Carter Kane were swept up in another fast-paced adventure that tested them to their limits, and this is clearly not their last battle. The book ends with the knowledge that an even bigger battle is looming for our globe-trotting siblings. This book was a worthy sequel to the first book in The Kane Chronicles, The Red Pyramid. There were great new characters introduced and many familiar faces reappeared along the way. My favorite new character in this book was a god named Bes. He's an interesting fellow, to say the least. This book centered around the Kane siblings search for the Book of Ra and their attempt to awake the god. I won't tell you whether they succeed or not (that wouldn't be any fun), however, I will tell you that this book will not disappoint any fans of Rick Riordan. The Throne of Fire is every bit as engaging and addictive as any book in his much lauded Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. I, personally, cannot wait for the next installment in this series. I also await the next book in Riordan's The Heroes of Olympus series which will be here in the not too distant future!
I've already begun reading my next book, The Luxe by Anna Godberson. I just started reading it this morning and am already more than one hundred pages into it. More on that book next time!
