Todo empezó en Londres, la noche en que nuestro padre hizo explotar el Museo Británico con un extraño conjuro. Fue entonces cuando nos enteramos de que, además de un reconocido arqueólogo, era una especie de mago del Antiguo Egipto. Rodeado de valiosas antigüedades, empezó a entonar extrañas palabras...

Algo debió de salir mal porque la sala quedó reducida a escombros; Set, el dios del caos, apareció de la nada envuelto en llamas y a nuestro padre se lo tragó la tierra.

No puedo decirte nada más; el resto deberás descubrirlo tú.

Review of 'The Red Pyramid' on 'Storygraph'

3 stars

More like a 3.5, simply because I didn't feel as much of a connection to the characters as I did in Percy Jackson. Carter and Sadie are siblings stuck on different continents due to (or so they think) a bad custody battle between their father and maternal grandparents. After their father mysteriously blows up the Rosetta Stone and is seemingly buried in a magical tomb, the two must learn to work together and harness their new-found powers in order to save their world from total chaos. In this series, we're introduced to the Egyptian gods and goddesses, which is pretty fascinating. He also divides the narrative voice between Sadie and Carter, each getting a chance to tell the story from his/her perspective.

I enjoyed the first installment in the series. Although a little too similar to the Percy Jackson series, in both content and form, I enjoyed reading the story from two perspectives. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series, but I do hope that Riordan mixes things up a bit and gets out of the habit of revealing plot elements in dreams and journeys into the Duat.
