Always enjoyable to spend time with Carter and Sadie Kane though the alternating narratives grow a wee bit annoying at times.
it was really good as all of rick riordans are and i loved it
After defeating Set, the Kane siblings start a school to teach kids how to use the god’s powers without being inhabited by them. They are busily working on their own magic when their plans are majorly disrupted by the impending awakening of Apophis, the god of Chaos. They now have to awaken Ra, their best hope of defeating Apophis. They eventually awaken Ra through the help of many people and gods, including Bast, who was supposed to spend all eternity fighting Apophis. After they go through all the trouble of awakening Ra, he is in a state where he appears to be a doddering old fool. Was all their effort in vain? We shall soon see.

En esta segunda entrega de The Kane Chronicles vemos a Sadie y Carter, que han crecido mucho del primer libro, con una gran diferencia, ahora van a tener que valerse de si mismos, sin tener la ayuda de los dioses en su interior.
Este libro expande mucho más el mundo, el mundo egipcio es sumamente complejo e intrigante. Podemos ver el Duat, y diferentes dioses egipcios que en el primer libro. Siento que nunca baja la intensidad de libro.
Mi queja sigue siendo la misma, siento que los libros son muy largos, pero al final del día terminé disfrutando mucho esta historia.

I just want to start by saying if by some odd chance you’re the publisher of this book, you need to pay for better copy writers. There were quite a few mistakes in this novel in the text and maybe it was part of the ‘style’ but I really doubt it.
Although I’ve enjoyed reading both of the books in the Kane Chronicles so far, I still think it is the weakest of Riordan’s series. They’re definitely action packed and entertaining, but overall I just can’t truly appreciate the characters as much as I can in his other two series and I’m not sure why. Part of this I think comes from the style of the writing and the other part comes from the inability to identify with any of the minor characters. Although I think he did a better job with this book, it just didn’t click perfectly with me. However, don’t get me wrong it was still a fun read and I appreciated seeing Carter and Sadie grow and meeting new characters. I just wish there was more.
This novel picks up not long after the last novel, but there is A LOT of information that is never filled in and that drives me insane! This novel just sort of picks up and a lot of things have changed and it’s like you’re supposed to accept that and move on, which you have to do, because there’s no other way to get that information. Part of this comes from Riordan’s style of writing in that this novel is just a transcript of a tape he ‘discovered’ and that added to the personalities of Sadie and Carter this time, but it left so much information out like more information where the other magicians came from, what they’re doing and what they’re planning to do!

I enjoyed this more than The Red Pyramid! I’m 20 years old and Rick’s books are for everyone. I look forward to reading the finale! I see a lot of plot lines that still need to be wrapped up!

Better than the first and has set the stage for the final in the trilogy.
