A nice refresher for the series thus far, and since I have a hard time picturing the characters, I found this to be a helpful visual guide as well. ( )

This is a great book companion for the Kane Chronicles. I consulted this book while reading the trilogy and it helped me a lot since I only had a little background of Egyptian Mythology. ( )

A fun little addition to the main series. I love these kids, though they really should have a little more adult supervision. The baboon does not count as a grown-up. ( )

I love Rick Riordan's writing style and characterization. I have always enjoyed mythology and he does a great job of bring any and all mytholgy to life in a fresh and new way. I find the characters to be engaging and to feel really real. His characters feel fresh and diverse without feeling like he makes them diverse just to have diversity. He does not belabor the point of their diversity it just is a fact of who they are and yet anyone who reads his books can feel included in representation. I love how he weaves the mythology into modern times so you feel like you are learning something as you are being entertained. ( )
