First of all, Sadie Kane cracks me up - the girl is a hilarious narrator. Carter is all kinds of awesome, too. Rick Riordan brings back several of our favorite secondary characters from the first book and gives us a few more--most notably, Bes. :) 
 The tension and emotions run high throughout this second installment as the Kanes race to awaken the god king Ra, and Riordan does a nice job of giving us deeper and deeper glimpses into our main characters. I really enjoy the balance between Sadie and Carter's sibling teasing and their true loyalty to one another. 
 As always, Riordan works history and mythology seamlessly into the plot. 
 This is another extremely fun read. The hardest part will be waiting until the series' next book comes out!
