( January 2016) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise. And, as always, the brilliant author manages to work a little educational material into a great summer beach read.This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed.
To say nothing of the funny chapter headings (such as "A Birthday Invitation to Armageddon") and the teasing brother-sister banter as Sadie and Carter take turns narrating. Riordan's wit is in top form here, introducing a new protector god who's irreverent to say the least (not spoiling the surprise). It digs into life in Brooklyn, with new recruits in training, and is filled with adventures that mix gods and mortals, world travel via portal, pyramid and museum pillaging, and inventive combat magic. With the complex story set-up out of the way already, Throne of Fire gets right to the action. If our summary of the book's plot didn't make sense, readers will definitely want to re-read The Red Pyramid and check out the handy glossaries in the back of THE THRONE OF FIRE (thank goodness they're included this time!). Sadie and Carter's world may be ending - a common theme in many fantasy books these days - but they really are in for a fun ride, and so are readers.
