The Throne of Fire: Kane Chronicles, Book 2

If you can get your kids to read these books then you are doing them a favor. These books are just plain fun but they also have many hidden treasures. The books have legends and history and ancient tales for them to read and maybe even remember. These are lessons that may creep up in school. These books have some fun mixed with knowledge. I cannot think of a better thing for a kid than to read for fun and accidentally learn something. The 30 Clues series is the same. Many historical and geographic facts mixed with a fun story.

Rick Riordan continues to shine light into the forgotten corners of Mythology. Sharing the fabulous stories of the past with the modern audience. It is a series with exceptional diversity, action, humor and a sense of style. If your looking for a series of books that breaks the mold of children's literature look no further.

We loved the part where Set is trapped in a jar and keeps saying things like,

I listened to most of this with my son and we had a great time. Sometimes scenes were so funny that we stopped and repeated the lines over and over. He listened to it all. He had read the book first and enjoyed hearing the characters' voices. He laughed, he cried. Overall great book.

Yes, my son is the one listening to these and he loves the characters, the interaction and the accuracy to mythological legends.

It's actually a better read than Riordan's Heroes of Olympus series because it's better written and a much better set of performers on the audio version!

My son loved the interplay between the two characters and how they rounded out the idea of a brother-sister team without making the reading sound dry.

The reality is that I buy the audiobooks specifically so that my son who is dyslexic can stay well read and on his grade level despite his inability to read. He is almost twelve years old and these characters spoke to him. Frequently, audiobooks are read without inflection and without the reality that someone with language deficits needs in order to integrate language. These two readers hit all the high points, as well as covering a variety of accents.

Thousands of Years of Family Drama Comes to Life!

It is up among Harry Potter, Percy Jackson and all the other books. It's one of the best.

Of course I'll compare it to "The Red Pyramid", because it's the same series.

It made me laugh a lot, it is just full of fun.

The Kane series continues to capture the attention of fans of all ages! You won't want to put the book down!

The whole family loves this! Great for car trips with the family. The narration is fantastic!!!

We have enjoyed all of Rick Riordan's books. I love it because not only do I enjoy the story but my Grandchildren do too.

This is a "clean" well written story, The dialog is clear enough for even my youngest grandchild to follow.

Sadie has to be my favorite character, her "spunk" is very endearing.

Fun, humorous, entertaining

Sadie Kane is my favorite character because of the way Rick Riordan has given her a great sense of humor as she goes through teen angst, the pains of becoming a magician, and some incredible adventures.

They infuse both main characters with a living, breathing personality that is both believable and accessible to the reader/ listener. And every other character comes to life as well!

...laugh mostly, cry a couple of times.

Love this whole series. It's not just a "kids" book. I love the Egpytian mythology facts as Riordan weaves them seamlessly into the story. I love that he has created a REAL muticultural family. Just a great time!

I think having two different people reading this book helped out a lot. Taking the old egyptian gods and giving them a twist is very good by Rick.

I usually do not read a lot of books like this, but this series is so good that I will read everyone from here on out.

they bring a different listening experience that is unique. They bring life to the characters.
