I've enjoyed following the Kanes. I think it also has sickle cell references which is good.

Exciting story. Sadie and Carter Kane have to bring back Ra from the Duat. The best part of the story was when Ra woke up and started speaking nonsense; it was really funny. I would recommend this book to children over 7 because it's scary, funny and dangerous.

I loved it more than the previous book The Red Pyramid, especially when Bes came and shouted ‘Boo!’. That was really funny.

I liked this book. It had a lot of action, you never k re what was going to happen next. It follows the same storyline as the first book which is why I’ve only given it 4 stars. But I would still recommend it.

I liked the mix of modern and Egyptian mythology. Sadie is my favourite character because she is so good with magic and boys. Ra is very funny although ( very ) old.

I liked this book because the Egyptian gods have been escaped. And I like Apophis that rise because the brothers and sisters were going to fight him. I would recommend it to a family.

This is a great book with a mixture of everything I like. Thrill, adventure and just a hint of romance. I wouldn't say that it is targeted at a specific age group and I think it will be a fun read for anyone.

I hadn't read the previous book in the series in a long time but it was easy to understand and the plot was complicated but funny at the same time. It followed the story of two siblings, Carter and Sadie Kane. They were different characters and they split up at various points which meant that there was a lot happening. They each had every other chapter so this made it easy to understand. It's a brilliant book and, once again, I'd definitely recommend this title.

Also good but not really that good. :)

I love this book from top to bottom. For starters, this book is full of action and humor. I love the characters and how they really show use show not tell and the way the dramitized it and created suspension and and a veil of mystery. This is why I gave this book a 5 star review.

This is the second in the series, about stopping a giant snake eating the sun! The main characters Sadie and Carter discover more Egyptian gods in America and other places. I liked it.

I like the chapter reading - this follows on from the first book really well. I like the story telling and the adventure.

I liked Sadie the best as she is daring and adventurous and can understand things. I would recommend this book to people interested in mythology

In this book, Sadie and Carter Kane have to find Ra the god of order but they will have to travel through 12 places and have another sacrifice. This time Bes, the ugly god of dwarfs, will have to sacrifice his ren to give Sadie and Carter 3 more hours to kill Menshikov and try to stop Apophis, god of Chaos.
