Characters

The change of the characters in The Red Pyramid are drastic. One character in my book named Carter Kane was in the beginning was laid back, yet still serious from the first book, he's gotten a bit desperate after which he was told he only has 5 days to save Ra to destroy and evil snake that being resurrected. Over the course of the story, he's become more depressed, he's still sarcastic with his sister, Sadie Kane, but his mind drifts to other places like he needs something. He's become more desperate now that the days are becoming shorter and that he is unable to find The Book of Ra. He still uses his intellect to try to figure out challenges that would face them, so it progresses the story along but he wants to find his love Zia who is lost after turning out to be a clay doll in the first book. The book starts to head in that direction as it follows his story as he tries to find her. This is sidetracking him from his real goal of saving Earth.

What's happening in Throne of Fire is that Sadie goes back to London to celebrate her 13th birthday but when she gets there to visit her grandparents, her grandparents have fallen host to Nekhbet, the vulture goddess. Another Egyptian god named Babi, the baboon god has been ordered to hunt down Sadie Kane and her friends and dispose of them. They are saved by the dwarf god Bes and they are teleported to the eighteenth nome in St. Petersburg, Russia. The Egyptians split the world into several Nomes where a major city is. A man named Menkishov is trying to summon Set which was the evil god in The Red Pyramid. Menkishov summons a snake to battle Carter and Sadie. I really enjoy this book so far, and I like how they incorporated all these Egyptian gods into it.

Book Recommendations

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a fictional book with magic and monsters in it. If you read Lightning Thief or The Lost Hero, this book has the same formatting and will be enjoyable but with Egyptian Gods instead of Greek. I really liked this book by how the chapters are placed out by having two narrators (Carter and Sadie Kane) which both have 2 chapters to tell their side of the story and then they switch to another narrator. Its a really good book with plenty of cliffhangers and great descriptions of things, it really pulls you into the book. Throne of Fire is a really good book so far!

So far in the book I am reading which is Throne of Fire by Rick Riordan, they found out that a giant snake that has been in eternal conflict is about to break out and destroy earth. The only way to stop it is to rally all of the Egyptian gods and fight it. The only problem is that the sun god Ra is in a deep sleep and no one knows where his sleeping sanctuary is and how to wake him. They go into a long ride on a boat under the underworld so they can find out answers as to how to wake up Ra.

Reading Skills

The independent book I am reading is Throne of Fire which is by Rick Riordan. I predict what will happen in the book is that Sadie and Carter Kane will have to search for Ra and after waking him he will refuse to help them having to travel to Ra's 'Throne of Fire' which is what the book is called to convince him into helping. What if though they fail to wake Ra? Will they go to an alternate plan to trying to destroy the evil that haunts them? A text-to-world example would be that in the book it takes place partly in Egypt which is ironic since there was revolts and violence their not that long ago. A text-to-text example would be like Lightning Thief, series which even though is made by the same author has similar story lines like gods and a secret world of magic and creatures. A text-to-self example is that Carter slowly gets irritated over a long period but is able to hold it in which is sometimes what I do.

The book I am reading is Throne of Fire by Rick Riordan, it is about two Egyptian twins who after defeating an Egyptian god named Set who plans to take over the world by unleashing monsters. They use magic to overcome their new challenge in the book which is a giant snake who had been battling another monster for millennia is about to escape from its prison and destroy the world. They have to try to wake the Sun god named Ra who could be their only hope so they travel around trying to find clues to Ra's sleeping sanctuary. I really like how in the book the two main characters, Sadie and Carter Kane get two chapters to tell their part of the story then it switches to the other character. This repeats through the whole story so you get two views of how the book happens.
