Kane chronicles - A series for non-Egyptians


In this post I will briefly write what Kane Chronicles of Rick Riordan is about and then I will list all the books in the series followed by a some lines of summary on each book. Then I will dedicate each post to one .
So here it goes....

This series is about two teenage siblings namely Carter and Sadie. Who share the lineage of two powerful magician families in Egypt. Yup, based on the Egyptian myths. So, surely if you have the blood of two powerful magician families you would surely attract monsters, magic and....gods. So what are the adventures that Carter and Sadie go through? What are the problems they face? You will all know in the following books.

  • First in the series is the Red Pyramid.
In this book Carter is travelling the world with his dad who is a "well owned lecturer on Egyptian mythology" and Sadie is living with her grandparents. They meet each other only twice a year. They both realize they have to stick together because they sort of (let's just say a cologne) wear a permanent, non-removable for life cologne which does not attract chicks but only trouble.











  • The second one is the Throne of Fire.            
In this book Carter and Sadie's cologne is stronger now and they are hosting gods with much more experience. Yup, those all powerful entities which control the universe with their powers, but with Egyptian style. Interestingly, we get to see walking mummies in this one! But first things first, they both have five days to save the world from a giant snake, Apophis, who is the lord of chaos. Do they hire a snake charmer from India? Highly unlikely and disappointing for Indians, but it is still worth a read!!










  • The last but not the least book in the series is the Serpent's Shadow.          
                     
In this one the giant snake, the lord of chaos is about to destroy the world and sadly there are still no snake charmers in the book. Carter and Sadie get to know a very effective way of beating the snake and sending it so deep into the Du'at (sort of like the Egyptian prison and storage place) that he will not be coming back for centuries! Effective right? But highly dangerous, how will they succeed, or will they even succeed or not? Everything in the book folks. 
I still think snake charmers would be effective!
 (a bit too much right? Sorry)                                            

Next one coming on Sunday, 2nd November 2014!
