The Throne of Fire

Solid second book in the series.

Things have continued apace for Carter and Sadie and it was nice to see a few more faces to flesh out their Nome. I like how responsible Carter is, a trait that is somewhat unusual for teen boys in stories. I can seem him growing into a stable man, which is a nice thought. Sadie is brave, though she is a little too...too something for me. Firey, I think, but she's a good character that livens up the story at times.

I still love the sibling bond between Carter and Sadie and it's wonderful to see it getting even stronger here. I like the racial diversity and how Riordan took a major step away from the predominately white world of the first Percy Jackson series. I also like how his writing has improved. It's wonderful to see.

Definitely well on my way to preferring the Kane Chronicles over Percy Jackson.
