Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians is a children’s fantasy novel series. The series follows the adventures of Percy Jackson, a young demigod, as he and his friends travel across America to stop the Greek god Kronos from rising to power. Along the way, they visit famous landmarks and battle mythological creatures.
The Throne of Fire follows the story of Carter and Sadie Kane, two siblings who discover that they are descended from a line of ancient Egyptian magicians. When their uncle, Amos, is kidnapped by the Set animal god, they must find the lost city of the gods in order to save him. Along the way, they must battle Set and his minions, as well as the forces of the Egyptian government who are trying to stop them. The story is full of adventure, mystery, and magic, and the characters are rich and complex.
Rick Riordan’s other characters include Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, and Grover Underwood from the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series; Leo Valdez, Piper McLean, and Jason Grace from the Heroes of Olympus series; and Magnus Chase and Samirah al-Abbas from the Trials of Apollo series.
Rick Riordan’s The Throne of Fire is the second book in his Kane Chronicles series. The book picks up where the first one left off, with the two main characters, Carter and Sadie, trying to stop the rise of the evil god Set.
The book is action-packed and fast-paced, as Riordan’s books tend to be. The characters are well-developed and likable, and the plot is intriguing. The ending is a bit of a cliffhanger, but it leaves readers eager for the next book in the series.
