The Throne of Fire is written by Rick Riordan. This book is 452 pages of action and excitement. The Throne of Fire is the second book, in a three book series called the Kane Chronicles. Sadie Kane, and her brother, Carter Kane, come from a long line of magicians. They descend from the Egyptian gods. Both of their parents have died while trying to save the Earth using their magic. Carter and Sadie live with their Uncle Amos in Brooklyn House, where they have 20 students that they teach how to be proper magicians. If you’re ever in Brooklyn, and you wonder where Brooklyn house is, don’t even try to find it. It has magic protective shields that make it invisible to mortals. In the second book, Apophis, the evil serpent god, is breaking free from his prison in the duat, that Ra the sun god put him in millennia ago. (The duat is like an ocean under our feet with layers and layers of magical dimensions going down forever. At least, that’s how Sadie describes it in the book.)Sadie and Carter are both only 13 and 15, but they are both very wise. They have learned how to control and harness the magic from the gods. Horus, the war god has chosen Carter as a host. This means that Horus can talk to Carter and be in his head with him. Carter can also channel the power of Horus, which comes in handy many times throughout the story. Sadie is a host for Isis, the goddess of magic, which also comes in useful. Apophis is the evil serpent and he is trying to swallow the sun and destroy the Earth, creating a new age of Chaos. Carter and Sadie are trying to stop this and restore Maat. They only have four days until Apophis breaks out of his prison. In order to do this, Sadie and Carter have to find the Book of Ra. Easy, right? Not so much. The Book of Ra is the key to awakening Ra from deep in the duat, and this book is has three parts to it, all separate scrolls, all hidden millennia ago. No one knows where they are hidden. Now finding the book, is the easiest part, the hard part is all of the demons, evil camels, god possessed grandparents, seven thousand pound hummingbirds, and assassin ice cream men they have to face throughout the book. Once they get past all of that (and more) then they have to actually read the spell book (the Book of Ra). Sadie describes casting a spell from a scroll on page 343 as, “reading aloud onstage in front of a thousand hostile teachers who are waiting to give you bad marks. You can only read by looking at the backward reflection in a mirror and all the words are mixed around and you have to put the sentences together in the right order as you go and if you make one mistake, one stumble, one mispronunciation, you’ll die.” Then once they have woken Ra, they have to stop all of the magicians, and gods that want to kill them, and Ra. This book was amazing and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I think everyone should read this book. Rick Riordan is a great author! "Don’t get starry-eyed about somebody you can’t have, especially if it blinds you to somebody who’s really important." - BesTook me almost 2 weeks to finish this. Barely had time to read. This book gave me goosebumps. I was like "WOOOAAAAAAH! Didn't expect that" every freakin time. Haha. Well, the book ended well. Woah! It rhymes!!! Used the same word twice in a sentence. And I think there's something wrong with it. Anyway, I just hate the fact that every Egyptian God is ugly. Really? Human with heads of animals. A lion headed goddess, a jackal headed god, a falcon headed freak. Like, what the Hell?! Hahaha. Just, if you read the Red Pyramid, you better read this too. :) All these for The Son of Sobek :)Can't read it without reading this sequel. Haha
What do You think about The Throne Of Fire (2011)?
More action and excitement for the Kane siblings. I liked this one better than the first.
