Let me state up front, I don't thing Riordan necessarily did a bad job with the gods. Well, if I'm being honest, it's a bit more complicated than that. Still, I'm overall reasonably happy with how he portrayed the gods. Admittedly, I was a bit disappointed that Riordan mostly shied away from the animal-headedness of many of the Egyptian gods that was one of the things always made them so cool to me. So, you can imagine that I was really excited back when The Kane Chronicles was first announced.
In fact, I was a fan of Egyptian Mythology even before I got into Classical Mythology. I've been a fan of Egyptian Mythology for a long time. Carter and Sadie are in for a whirlwind adventure of gods, monsters and magic. Oh, and they've only got five days to make sure Set doesn't take over the world. Kane is imprisoned in a sarcophagus of golden light, after blowing up the Rosetta Stone.īefore long, the siblings discover a number of shocking revelations: the Egyptian gods are both real and active in the modern world, their parents are members of an ancient society of Egyptian magicians called The House of Life, and their dad is being held hostage by the god Set. Kane are visiting Sadie for Christmas vacation, and the trio go on a trip to the British Museum.and Mr.
Carter travels with their dad around the world on archaeological digs, while Sadie lives in London with their maternal grandparents. We begin with a look back at book one of The Kane Chronicles, The Red PyramidĬarter and Sadie Kane are brother and sister, but have hardly ever seen each other. Now, we move on to Riordan second series: The Kane Chronicles. Just a reminder, it’s less of a formal review and more of a casual look back. I shared my retrospective of Percy Jackson and the Olympians here, and everyone really liked it.
