bibliorow 's review for:
The Throne of Fire
by Rick Riordan
3.5 stars, like the first one. This series just simply isn’t as good as Percy Jackson or Heroes of Olympus. It doesn’t have the development or the world building or the intensity of the relationships. I like the characters, but I just don’t care about the story all that much, and I wanted to DNF more than once. I’m really, really not a fan of how Rick tries to force a love triangle between thirteen-year-old Sadie and two sixteen year old guys. That’s just really gross. A huge yikes for me. But I do still like Rick’s writing style, which carries through all of his books: charming characters, funny dialogue, and ridiculous situations. I’m gonna read the last book because that’s how my brain works - I’m this far into it and I can’t give up now, so I only hope the final book manages to surprise me.
