The Red Pyramid

The Red Pyramid

Rick Riordan's novel, The Red Pyramid, the first in his new series "The Kane Chronicles", is based on Egyptian beliefs and culture. This story is much like another one of Riordan's collections, The Percy Jackson series. If you've read both series you might see why. Each series provides the reader with mystery and excitement that keeps you guessing.  The Red Pyramid's main characters include a boy named Carter, and a girl named Sadie. The two characters are brother and sister. Their objective is to stop Set, (the main antagonist), from creating a storm of chaos that will destroy the entire world.  The story is told in both Carter and Sadie's voice, switching as events unfold every two chapters.
