PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The amazing performances of Kevin R. Free and Katherine Kellgren make this YA fantasy the second volume in Riordan's The Kane Chronicles enthralling for listeners of any age. Descendants of the House of Life, Carter and Sadie Kane are teenage magicians responsible for preventing Egyptian gods from interfering with mortals. And this time around, the brother-and-sister team face off against the chaos snake Apophis something that's bound to interfere with Sadie's 13th birthday party. But even being chased through the streets of London by monstrous gods doesn't slow down Sadie. Meanwhile, Carter continues to train a troupe of young magicians to battle the forces of evil. Free deftly handles Carter's narration; he sounds exactly like a 14 year-old boy, while voicing dozens of other characters. Kellgren's narration is no less impressive, and her interpretation of a budding teen girl is exuberant and believable, as are the multitude of other colorful characters she creates. Between these two spirited performances, the characters come to life and leave listeners breathless. A Hyperion hardcover.

Throne of fir
Greatest author in the universe I read all his books
Another great book
I assume this will be another epic tail of adventure, heroism, and Mythology of course, the average bases of Riordan's books. I will most likely buy it Target(r), but anyway's can't wait, and even more psyched about about The Son of Neptune! :D
