Another example of how the author uses life as we know it today, is when Set (the god of desert storms) visits Phoenix, Arizona where he plans to build the Red Pyramid and wipe out the United States and possibly the world.
The goddess is supposed to be very old, but is active in airplanes in modern day. For example, at the top of page 85, Nut (the sky goddess) is seen watching over Sadie and Carter’s flight to Memphis. When their father tries to host Osiris (god of the dead), Carter and Sadie become hosts themselves! This graphic novel is interesting because the use of the Egyptian gods in present times allows the reader to connect to the story. Sadie was raised by her mother’s parents, in England. After their mother died, Carter was raised with his father, and traveled the world.
The Kane children are the connection between two bloodlines of Egyptian pharaohs and are powerful magicians. Review 2: The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordon is about siblings Carter and Sadie Kane and their exciting journey to keep the Egyptian gods of chaos from destroying the worl. all and all i really loved the book and i recommend it to anyone. they must defeat the Egyptian god set with the help of gods that have taken refuge in them to save there father from death. it is about brother and sister Carter an Sadie cane who upon meeting for the first time in 10 years find out that there dad wad an Egyptian sorcerer and that they are the blood of the pharaohs.
i had already read the original book and had finished the series when i picked up this adaptation and i have to say it really followed the story line. Review 1: I really liked the addition of pictures to the already great novel.
