The Kane Chronicles

Welcome back once again, dear Magicians.
Today´s Tuesday, 27th March, 2018


·Titles: The Red Pyramid, The Throne of Fire, The Serpent´s Shadow.

·Author: Richard Russel "Rick" Riordan

·Wikipedia

·Languages: His books have been translated into 42 languages.

·Copies sold: More than 30 million copies have been sold, just in the US.  

·Personal opinion: As I´ve mentioned before, after reading the awesome adventures of Percy Jackson and his friends, I couln´t resist but to read more books from this author. Magnus Chase was not out yet in my country, and Ancient Egypt was also one of my favourite mythologies. I started reading it, but I must admit I didn´t quite like it. It´s something usual after having read so many books with different characters. I kinda missed Percy and his humorous comments, and I must admit the Kane siblings weren´t as funny as our dead Demigod. Another reason might have been my little obession for my favourite character, who I will reveal later. I´ll just say he´s a God. Well, what happened is that I was totally devastated when I discovered he was just a secondary character. 
I mean, everyone in the fandom loves him more than any of the other characters, so why not give him more protagonism? 
Anyway, after three failed attempts, I finally managed to finish the second book, as the first had been quicker to read. And I couldn´t stop there once I read the secvond one. I felt I needed to read the third one! The story suddenly came to life and I felt more attached to the characters. In the fandom, Jackson and Chase are more popular, so I was also influenced by that. I loved them in the end. Not as much as I wanted, but I had a great time reading.
My favourite so far was Anubis. His young looks gave him the Death Boy vibes Nico di Angelo has, so I fell in love instantly. But there are obviously differences with them, as Anubis has straight hair, he´s taller and his looks are more rocker ones. He´s lovely when he tilts his head like a jackal. 

·Recommendations: As with the other books, I do recommend to read this books. It´s true that the other collections are more appealing, but the cultural appropriation is this one makes me love Rick Riordan for his awesome novels.
