The Throne of Fire by. Rick Riordan
My Review:
Ever since the Ancient Egypt gods were unleashed in the modern world... And learning that their descendants of the House of Life.. Fourteen year-old Carter Kane and his thirteen year-old sister Sadie have been thrown into world of magic and adventure... While training their powers and skills that they still don't understand...
The devious gods haven't given them much time to master their skills at Brooklyn House, which has become a training ground for young magicians....
As they discover that a more threatening enemy... That they have ever encounter is at its rising peek, the chaos snake Apophis.... And if they don't prevent him from breaking free in a few days' time, the world will come to an end..... While learning that their only chance of battling the Forces of Chaos... Carter and Sadie must search for the sun god Ra.. Which is a task that will be more difficult than any magician has ever accomplished... Because no one knows where Ra is exactly....
My Thoughts:
-This book was amazing.. I really enjoyed the Egypt mythology in this series.. I grew up love Egypt mythology when I was a kid.. So I was very impress with how the mythology is explain this series.. Rick Riordan did a good job with book one and now book two.. I can't wait to read book three, the third and finale in the series...
-I also enjoyed how Carter and Sadie are growing has characters in Throne of Fire, from how they were in the first book... And I'm very curious to see how Rick Riordan builds there character in the next book... While also enjoying the Ancient Egypt gods in this book that I grew up with.. To how I learn about new gods along the way...
-So with the narrated wisecracking voices of Carter and Sadie and featuring old and new unforgettable characters.. While also with a adventure that explores the globe.. This second installment of the Kane Chronicles, will be a heck of a thrill ride that will have you begging for Carter and Sadie's next adventure in book three...
-And I give this book 5/5 stars...

This week I pick:
Kill Me Softly by. Sarah Cross
About Kill Me Softly:
Mirabelle's past is shrouded in secrecy, from her parents' tragic deaths to her guardians' half-truths about why she can't return to her birthplace, Beau Rivage. Desperate to see the town, Mira runs away a week before her sixteenth birthday—and discovers a world she never could have imagined.
In Beau Rivage, nothing is what it seems—the strangely pale girl with a morbid interest in apples, the obnoxious playboy who's a beast to everyone he meets, and the chivalrous guy who has a thing for damsels in distress. Here, fairy tales come to life, curses are awakened, and ancient stories are played out again and again.
But fairy tales aren't pretty things, and they don't always end in happily ever after. Mira has a role to play, a fairy tale destiny to embrace or resist. As she struggles to take control of her fate, Mira is drawn into the lives of two brothers with fairy tale curses of their own . . . brothers who share a dark secret. And she'll find that love, just like fairy tales, can have sharp edges and hidden thorns.
