The Throne of Fire- Rick Riordan
I started and finished the book the Throne of Fire by Rick Riordan over winter break and I loved it. It follows two magicians, Sadie and Carter, through the realm of ancient Egyption mythology to revive the god Ra. Riordan is very good at writing books about mythology and I can tell that he really loves the subject and it's interesting having one series set in Greek/Roman mythology and another with Egyption. Other than having a really interesting plot I think that the book has really interesting, dynamic characters who really complement each other well. Like the brother and sister pair Sadie and Carter; Carter is more of the guy who plans stuff but when in battle he always just jumps in with his sword but Sadie kind of leaps into plans and doesnt really think about what she's doing very much but in battles she'd rather create animals to fight for her. I dont really like how Riordan has been writing his new books with multiple, first person point of view angles. Sure it makes it dynamic but it sometimes throws me off, especially when he has more than two.
