The Red Pyramid

The Kane Chronicles Book One: The Red Pyramid By Rick Riordan

The Red Pyramid is Rick Riordan's new book! It starts out similar to his last series: a loved family member i
s lost to some form of gods, this time Egyptian. Apparently, the main characters, Carter and Sadie Kane's dad has exploded the Rosetta Stone, therefore, the gods of Egypt are now taking over mortals, animals, and sometimes objects. Set has taken over Amos, the kids uncle and now the kids are trying to avoid him, in order to not be killed in the hands of their uncle.

I think Rick Riordan's new book is pretty well written, though it sticks to the same story structure as the Percy Jackson and The Olympians Series. I think Mr. Riordan needs to branch out from the story structure, because otherwise the only difference is the area/settings.

I give this book a 4.8!
**** and 8/10
