Acquire The Red Pyramid (Kane Chronicles, #1) Created By Rick Riordan Readable In Version

me confess something before I start my review: I dived in this book with lower than zero expectations, My sister has read them and she kind of hinted at them not being as good as the PJO series so I was very hard on the story.
Thus, the three. I mean, I went in to hate the characters which I kind of did but overall, how could I even think about hating a Rick Riordan book

The Red Pyramid, is sort of similar to other Rick books but had its own special moments.
For one, it was about Egyptian Gods, One of the reasons I didn't really enjoy this story which is my fault, not the The Red Pyramid's is because my knowledge of the Egyptian Gods was Zero.
In result, I had a hard time having fun because I was busy figuring out the Gods,

My second problem is that I didn't like the characters, Sadie in particular, Which is again me, not the book,

But in the end, everything was fastpaced and the plot was interesting, I also liked they were kind of narrating the story as a recording,

I'm going to continue with this serious and try to be less of a judgmental asshole, Hopefully, I will have more fun, RTC

The Red Pyramid Kane Chroniclesby Rick Riordan is a graphic novel for kids, The illustrations are great, the fonts are easy to read, The story is wonderful and easy to follow, The characters are unique and fun, at least the good ones! All characters were well developed and memorable, I thought this would be a small comic book sized novel but it was a large, full length novel, A novel and a movie in one! Lots of surprises and action, A great book for kids and us oldies that pretend to be kids! I got this book from the library.
I quite enjoyed Riordan's new adventures featuring the Kane siblings, Carter and Sadie I believeandyears of age, . . though I thought Sadie seemed older, who are introduced to the possibilities that Egyptian mythology may be a bit more real than they realized.


Sadie and Carter's mother died when they were young, and since then they have had to live apart Sadie with her mother's parents in London, and Carter with his father, traveling the world looking for Egyptian artifacts.
Since they only see each other once a year or so, it nicely adds to the story to have their relationship develop and evolve.


When visiting the museum something goes terrible wrong, and Carter and Sadie discover that there may be more to their father, and the Kane family, than they realized.


I listened to the audio book, which I thought was wonderful! It is narrated by Kevin R, Free and Katherine Kellgren. Because the story is told both by Carter and Sadie, each narrator reads the appropriate section, The book is very suited to an audio recording, as it is supposed to be Carter and Sadie making a recording of the events that have transpired.


I enjoy the Percy Jackson books, and I think that this book has a similar style, a similar since of fun and lightness, but happily it didn't feel the same, like I was reading the same story just with differently named characters.
To me, Red Pyramid felt a little more mature and complex not in a bad way, just in that the protagonists are older, there's more history, details, etc.
. I enjoyed this, and like the Percy Jackson books with Greek mythology The Red Pyramid made me intrigued with Egyptian mythology and history the author's note, by the way, is fantastic!.


Also, it was very nice and refreshing to have the Kane siblings be mixed race, with a black father and white mother.
Not only does this bring about some interesting

sibling points since Carter is darker and Sadie lighter they are often not perceived to be brother and sister but I also thought Riordan handled it all really well, not making a big deal about, letting the story still be the story, but with a few mentions here and there where this is mentioned.


I'm hoping that there will be more to this series, and I'm anxiously awaiting reading the rest I mean, what's not to love with dueling avatar halfmanhalfbird forms, wands and staffs, and a protective cat I ranked Rick Riordan's The Lighting Thiefth on my Top Ten Fave Books for, tied with Michael Scott's The Alchemist.
I reasoned out that I can't choose which one is better cause both made learning history fun and both have that cool factor reliving the things in the past.
Now, I have suspicion that I unknowingly can see the future cause The Red Pyramid is exactly the combination of both books.
Is that a good thing Yes, if it had been well executed, Let's review that sentence: "Yes, if it had been well executed, " Yeah, as what my above saysdon't look up to the sky dumbass, I mean the rating.
, it is not an awesome book,

Its given that Egyptian History is not as fascinating as the Greek and Roman History but egyptian culture has that sense of mystery that Riordan could have played.
I didn't get the Egyptian feel to it at all, The existence of the egyptian gods in the book is not that cool either, Thoth playing Rock Band is not as cool as Ares riding the Big Bike or Horus being cranky is not as funny as Dionysius being stubborn.
The whole god thing is like just for the sake of having them, You can substitute them with normal people's name and would have still the same effect, The spells are cool. The thing about glowing hieroglyphs after saying the spell is brilliant but I can't see "Hadi" replacing "Alohomora" for young people getting locked out when they go home late It's pretty easy to guess why I know this.


The storyline even gets repetitive:

Sadie and Caine goes to one place,
They start bickering. Shut up, Sadie and Carter! It's my review:Read the book to get the sarcasm,
One of them falls asleep and their soul drifts somewhere,
Enemy attacks them.
They fighta little,
Their company fights alone to buy time for them while they run,
They eventually be reunited with that someone,


The whole recording thing is distracting most of the times especially the : remarks, It would have been better if it's only on the beginning and the end just like in the Lightning Thief.


As for the main characters, Sadie and Carter is the least likable sibling I ever read, They are not awesome nor annoying, they are just blah, Forgettable. They continuously throw corny jokes and weak sarcasms, And at some point, their voice on the chapters gets confusing, I have to look up to the top of the page to be sure who is talking, Even towards the end, I still didn't get what kind of personality they have,

Now I am unsure if I will still follow this series, Maybe if Riordan will able to redeem himself on The Last Heroa book that tells about something he is really good at, I will read the second installment for the Kane Chronicles to make up for the time while waiting for the second Heroes of Olympus book.
Don't worry Rick Riordan, I still like you and I understand that you, like every writers out there, sometimes just needs the pay check.
Peace' : “It takes strength and courage to admit the truth”,

Amé profundamente este libro! No sé por qué demonios no lo había leído antes! Por todos los dioses de Egipto!

En The Red Pyramid nos encontramos con Sadie y Carter Kane, dos hermanos que han vivido separados desde la muerte de su madre.
Sadie se ha quedado en Londres con sus abuelos, mientras que Carter ha viajado por todo el mundo con su padre, que es egiptólogo.
Un día, en uno de los raros momentos en los que Carter y su padre Julius visitan Londres, van por Sadie y visitan el Museo Británico.
Pero cuando están frente a la Piedra Rosetta, su padre les dice que intentará arreglarlo todo y empieza a hacer cosas extrañas.
Total, el pobre hombre no arregla nada, hace que la Piedra explote y libera a cinco poderosísimos dioses egipcios: Isis, Horus, Set, Osiris y Nephthys.
En medio de la confusión su padre desaparece y Set les advierte que va a tener su venganza y a acabar con el mundo, así que ahora la misión de Sadie y Carter es evitarlo.


Ya les dije que amé este libro Lo amé! Lo amé! Lo amé! Me hacía muchísima falta leer algo con unas voces narrativas tan divertidas.
Sadie y Carter son absolutamente increíble como narradores, tienen las dosis perfectas de sarcasmo, comedia y dramatismo, Adoro como Rick Riordan les infunde ese humor tan peculiar a sus personajes, Es decir, pueden estar en el abismo enfrentándose a el Caos primordial y aún así logran decir algo tan agudo y absurdo que te olvidas de que están a punto de morir.


Si me siguen desde hace algún tiempo, sabrán que soy una fan y amante perdida de la mitología.
Si bien la griega y la romana son mis favoritas, también me encantaron mis clases en la universidad sobre la mitología egipcia.
Y leer este libro me hizo recordar tantísimas cosas! Me encanta que Rick Riordan se atreva a darle su propio giro a las diferentes mitologías, sin que por ello se vuelvan irreconocibles o una parodia de sí mismas.
Y es que, claro, en la mitología egipcia no eran importantes solo los dioses y sus representaciones terrenales, sino también los faraones y los magos.
Y la forma en la que Rick plantea la enemistad entre los antiguos magos y los dioses en The Red Pyramid es interesantísima.


Me gustaron muchísimo Carter y Sadie como personajes, pues a pesar de que llevan separados un montón de años, muy pronto vuelven a tener una dinámica de hermanos que irían hasta el fin del mundo para salvar al otro.
Además, creo que Rick supo darles una personalidad súper marcada a cada uno y, sobre todo, me gustó la diferencia de reacciones ante la gran revelación de su relación con el antiguo Egipto.
Sadie y Carter son chicos fenomenales y que, a pesar de verse envueltos en la aventura más peligrosa de sus vidas, saben llevar las cosas de una manera inteligente.
Quizá de mis partes favoritas era cuando se veían enfrentados a decisiones dificilísimas y a la posibilidad de adquirir poder infinito, pero recordaban su parte humana y se quedaban con los pies en el suelo.


Y los dioses! Ay, no sé ustedes, pero adoré las voces de Isis, Horus y, sobre todo, de Anubis.
Voy a crear ya mismo el club de fans de Anubis! Lo amo profundamente y adoraba cuando coqueteaba con Sadie.
Aunque, debo admitirlo, me sentía un poco incómoda shippeándolos porque, claro, Anubis debe tener milenios y Sadie sólo tiene como doce años.
Pero no me importaba! Y quiero que estén juntos! Perdón, perdón pero, en serio, Anubis es la combinación perfecta de adorable y coqueto, y me recuerda un montón a Nico Di Angelo.


El final me gustó un montón y ya quiero ver cómo reaccionan todos los jugadores a la revelación sobre Set, Apophis y cómo van a evitar que el mundo caiga en manos de todo el Caos primordial.
