Book 7 - A trilogy

The Kane Chronicles by Rick Riordan

The trilogy. Oh the trilogy.
What to say about the trilogy.
Well, besides the fact that it took me a little longer than previously anticipated to finished the novels, I always love a good Uncle Rick series. Although, I'll have to step it up a notch this next round. I'm already on the tenth week and I haven't even started the tenth book! Have no fear, there are still 42 weeks left.
If you know me at all, you will know that I am a rather large fan of Mr. Riordan. I was very excited the last time I visited, the lovely, Chapters when I purchased this series.
I wasn't too sure about the books when I first saw them sitting on my shelf, mainly because I knew absolutely nothing about them. Then I started to read and I realized that Uncle Rick didn't let me down. Why I ever doubted him, I do not know.
Anywho, these books are not about Greek gods or even Roman ones. The gods of the Kane's stories are of the Egyptian sort. The main characters, Carter and Sadie, are not demi-gods, like the characters in The Heroes of Olympus, they are magicians who aren't supposed to be meddling with the lives of the gods. As we all know, a good story wouldn't contain characters who follow the rules. In the first novel of the trilogy, Carter and Sadie find out how the rest of the magicians feel about the presence of the gods in their lives, even if it wasn't their fault.
I am pleased to say that even though there were many mentions of apocalypses and Doomsday; our brave main characters turned out to be just the heroes we needed in order to maintain the balance of the universe and continue to be human beings. I had my doubts (not at all) but they pulled through in the end, which created the wonderfully, ever present, happily ever after.
Not to be biased, but if you haven't read any of Uncle Rick's books, now would be the time. They are the most spectacular pieces of paper your eyes will ever have the opportunity of gazing upon. Don't underestimate the power of the sarcastic and sassy dialogue all mixed into the seriousness of the end of the world.
Remember, keep reading!!
