Over the last weekend I glanced at a book on my bookshelf and thought to myself, "Maybe I should give that one a go again." The book was "The Red Pyramid" by Rick Riordan. I had tried to get into the book a long time ago, probably back in the seventh grade but the novel never really clicked for me. To me, Rick Riordan was like the god of writing. He creates pieces that are so interesting and brings the historic values of mythology along with the qualities of an action novel. When I was little I wasn't to big on reading but when I picked up "The Lightening Thief" for the first time I knew I would not stop reading until I finished all of the Percy Jackson series.Now I knew Rick Riordan would be my writer of choice for any novel, and I have been demanding to read a novel written by him because I haven't found anything mythology by him since the "Last Olymmpian" series. The book crawled into my hands and I was stuck with my nose bent into it for the next hour.
The novel is completely different than what I expected, and there was so much to learn about the characters and the world in which they lived in. The main characters happen to be a brother and a sister, which I think is a great choice because it can give a lot of people something to relate to. Their names are Carter and Sadi Kane. I'm almost certain that these characters will be dynamic and they will change along with the novel. Below I will link you to all the information there is to know about these incredible kids.Sadi Kane

As of now in the story the two kids are about to enter a British museum. Sadi said she saw three people in the back of the cab that she had just gotten out of, and it was very peculiar to her for some odd reason. Within the chapter Sadi tells, "There was no way the cab could've picked up another fare so fast. 'Dad---'"(Riordan 16). After she says this her father declares the conversation dead by entering the museum. I think the book wants you to move on and forget about what had just happened but I think their is something more that is yet to be revealed...
From all the research I have done about the characters I expect this book to totally blow my mind in the future! Also I know that this one ends there will be another one waiting for me. That's what I enjoy about novels like these. I like being able to read more about one story in the following book in a trilogy!
Well looks like I gotta go, I hear "The Red Pyramid" calling my name! Thanks everyone for reading my blog this year it has been a great experience!
