The Bone Chamber
The Bone Chamber rated it 7 years ago
I was really excited for this series after finishing the first two of the author's works. Having thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Riordan's Greeks and Roman renditions; I was left feeling disappointed with the first book in his Kane series. Which is a shame because I love Egyptian myths and the overall histo...

Boring with incredibly simplistic writing. Yes, I know it's middle grade fiction with children as the target audience, but so was the first Harry Potter and The Hobbit, which both offered immediately engaging characters, fascinating new-but-familiar worlds, and a sly humor that sucked me in immediat...

I know I'm super late, but I'm finally jumping on the Rick Riordan bandwagon. I wanted to start with The Lightning Thief, but I couldn't find it at the library, so I read The Red Pyramid instead. And I really liked it! Egyptian mythology! YES. YES. YES. I'm not too familiar with Egyptian mythology...

I picked this up because I was still on a high after reading Riordan's latest an...

This is a fun middle grade book. It's first in the Kane Chronicles series and while I was concerned it would be Percy Jackson with Egypt it's not. The Red Pyramid follows Sadie and Carter, two siblings (that are POC, which is so exciting because how often does that happen), whose father accidenta...

I didn't know if I would like this book because I liked the Percy Jackson series so much. I really enjoyed it.

I don't know why, but this series didn't capture me like the Olympus books did.

Here's my review for The Red Pyramid, which is the first book in The Kane Chronicles by Rick Riordan. I love this series; It's just as good as Percy Jackson. The book is about about Carter Kane and his sister Sadie who are trying to save the world from Set the Egyptian god of evil. I love Carter...
