The Throne of Fire (Kane Chronicles #2) by Rick Riordan

"Ever since the gods of Ancient Egypt were unleashed in the modern world, Carter Kane and his sister Sadie have been in trouble. As descendants of the House of Life, the Kanes have some powers at their command, but the devious gods haven't given them much time to master their skills at Brooklyn House, which has become a training ground for young magicians.

And now their most threatening enemy yet - the chaos snake Apophis - is rising. If they don't prevent him from breaking free in a few days' time, the world will come to an end. In other words, it's a typical week for the Kane family.

To have any chance of battling the Forces of Chaos, the Kanes must revive the sun god Ra. But that would be a feat more powerful than any magician has ever accomplished.

First they have to search the world for the three sections of the Book of Ra, then they have to learn how to chant its spells. Oh, and did we mention that no one knows where Ra is exactly?

Narrated in two different wisecracking voices, featuring a large cast of new and unforgettable characters, and with adventures spanning the globe, this second installment in the Kane Chronicles is nothing short of a thrill ride."

Available now at PERIPLUS! Bloody hell.. Terlanjur baca ebooknya, kirain belum ada. Di sequel The Red Pyramid ini, muncul beberapa karakter atau trainee baru yaitu Walt, Jaz, etc dan banyak dewa-dewa lainnya. Juga lebih banyak aksi dari buku pertamanya. Interaksi Carter & Sadie yang kadang-kadang berantem tapi juga saling support bikin hubungan kakak beradik ini terasa nyata.

Rick Riordan berhasil menanamkan emosi ke pembaca dengan baik dengan ketegangan, humor, dan narasi yang jelas. Alur ceritanya juga cepat, langsung masuk ke aksi-aksinya Carter & Sadie. Can't wait for the next one!

LOL Sadie, Carter, I'll be on the lookout for your tape!
