The Red Pyramid
“The first volume in the Kane Chronicles, this fantasy adventure delivers what fans loved about the Percy Jackson and the
Olympians series: young protagonists with previously unsuspected magical powers, a riveting story marked by headlong adventure, a
complex background rooted in ancient mythology, and wry, witty twenty-first-century narration.”
—Booklist (starred review)
“A truly original take on Egyptian mythology...
A must-have book.”
—School Library Journal (starred review)
“Riordan fans young and old will eat this new book up.”
—The New York Times Book Review
The Throne of Fire
“...Riordan kickstarts the action, never lets up on the gas, balances laughs and losses with a sure hand, and expertly sets up the
coming climactic struggle without (thankfully) ending on a cliff-hanger. It’s a grand ride so far, showing nary a sign of slowing down.”
—School Library Journal (starred review)
“Riordan combines hard-hitting action scenes, powerful magic, and comic relief with the internal waves of love, jealousy, and self-doubt
that make his young heroes so very human.”
—Booklist
The Serpent’s Shadow
“[The] epic battle and the quiet concluding chapters glow, alternating heroism and humanity, with any trace of bombast erased by the
wry wit of the alternating narrators, Sadie and Carter . . . powered by Riordan’s talent for creating vividly written action scenes and his
ability to keep a complicated story moving, this volume brings the Kane Chronicles series to a rousing conclusion.”
—Booklist
“Beyond the explosive action and fireworks, Riordan deftly develops the theme of the duality of the universe—order versus chaos, living
a normal life versus risking the extraordinary, being protected by parents versus growing up and stepping out of their shadows. A rousing
adventure with plenty of magic and food for thought.”
