A review by belleand_books
The Throne of Fire by Rick Riordan

4.0

This book was much more interesting to me than the first book. Mostly because it was less introductory and more action but the whole story was so much fun. I loved the way Sadie and Carter got to travel and we got to see different parts of the Nomes in the House of Life. I liked how they had to make a lot of difficult choices in order to keep Chaos from rising at that moment; plus the way the Kanes started training these younger (and older) magicians who opened up the other paths for us to explore.

In all, I thought this book showed a fantastic relationship between the siblings and I’m excited to see how this whole story ends. I hope we get more information about the Nomes and Zia and honestly the magic in general.

One of the things that I did hate though was the way that the ending was so fast. I wouldn’t have minded it to be dragged out for even a few more pages or maybe the middle cut a little? It was just a lot of buildup (similar to book one) for such a whiplash ending.
