Sadie's birthday isn't really going as planned. After traveling to London through the Duat and ending up at her grandparents flat, she realizes something is wrong. Within seconds, things have flipped upside down. The goddess of vultures and the god of baboons has decided to use her grandparents as hosts and are trying to stop her at all costs from finding the remaining two pieces of the Book of Ra. With the help from Bes, the god of dwarves, they manage to release the gods from their hosts. Carter and an initiate from Brooklyn House, Walt, show up and they begin their journey to find the second book of Ra. Will finding the pieces of the book help save the House of Life and halt the rise of Apophis, chaos itself? Can they stop chaos from destroying the world and bring back the forgotten god, Ra?
It's a bit difficult to divulge too much of this story as it is a sequel to the book listed below, so I apologize if that did not do this book enough justice. However, I quite enjoyed this book. It was just as much of a quick read as its predecessor and even more exciting. You certainly find yourself falling in love with Bes and cheering on the Kane children as they fight to save the world from darkness and destruction. You certainly wonder how they gain so much power and admire the changes made between the two books.
I really, really can't wait for the third one in May. This absolutely set up the impending war and the third one will just set the whole thing in motion. Definitely a good read if you like history or mythology. Or just really love Rick Riordan like I so obviously do.
