I had a hard time getting into Rick Riordan's first book in The Kane Chronicles. I knew the book was about Egyptian gods and mythology, so I expected it to thrill me as Percy Jackson & the Olympians had. But I know very little about egypt and less about Egyptian mythology. The relationship between siblings Carter and Sadie Kane is strained and unfamiliar, bordering on awkward. Bratty, condescending Sadie irritated me to no end, and I found myself rooting for Carter although the two were working toward the same goal. Near the end of the book it finally grabbed my interest. The Red Pyramid wrapped up nicely and I will read the next book, however I will not be waiting on the edge of my seat.
