rikucha 's review for:

The Throne of Fire by Rick Riordan
3.0

Even with a truce between the god of evil Set and the Kane brothers, they still need to face the fact that the god of chaos Apophis is about to break free and swallow the world. They plan to bring back Ra, the god of the sun, even is the other Gods and the magicians oppose them. Horus has given Carter a clue to how to bring back Ra from retirement, so they start the journey as always: being chased by crazy egyptians gods, evil magicians plotting with demons, and gods that want to over run them.

I really liked Jaz and Walt. I REALLY wanted to know what was the matter with Walt, because I was rooting for him. Don't get me wrong, I like Anubis, but I don't see how he could date Sadie.
I still like Carter, and Bast, and I loved some new characters: Bes and Tawaret were awesome to imagine and super fun to read.
Sadie is just as annoying and selfish as ever, and Carter's whole Zia thing felt a bit selfish too. But I guess she has a bigger part to play in the next book. I hope she develops a bit more as a character, because I liked her in the first book.
I was really tempted to stop reading after book one, but I like some characters enough to want to know how they develop. I just wish I didn't have to read Sadie's chapters. And that there were more adults that made sense.
