I am reading the book "The Red Pyramid" by Rick Riordan. This book is about two siblings, Carter and Sadie, who become hosts to Egyptian gods. They are trying to stop Set, because he wants to turn the whole world into a desert, probably because he is the chaos god.
I think that Carter is facing a lot of problems in this book. One of them is his sister, who is much more outgoing than him. Early in the book they get in trouble because of Sadie. I think Sadie makes it harder for Carter to adapt to the very sudden changes, like discovering that him and Sadie are the most powerful magicians on Earth, and/or hosting Egyptians gods.
I think another problem in this book is Carter's father, Julius, who is somewhat isolated after Carter's mother disappears because of some ritual. Julius refuses to tell the kids what happen, so Carter and Sadie try to find out, and get themselves into a mess.
Lastly, I am not finished with this book yet, but I think that Julius' and Carter's relationship will improve, because at the end of the book there will probably be a sad reunion or something and Julius will finally tell Carter and Sadie. Then again, I may be wrong and the ending will be totally different.
Good post! The book seems very good! And you did a very good way of briefing it up and telling what's happening in the story. It would be cool to post about what you think happened to their mother.
