the egyphtian mythology is confusing and  complicated to me sometimes but riordan is doing a really good job at explaining it. moreover he uses it very well in this series while coming up with adventures of the kane family. he's excellent at interspersing adventures into ancient myths. in this book i felt more connected with the characters than in the previous one. i got to know them on a deeper level and feelt more involved in their story. their narration made me laugh many times and it was often hard to tear myself away from reading. i'm looking forward to seeing how it will all end.

Much better than the first!

Read because my son asked me to. It's fine. The two narrators are delightfully different.
