Itching to read these....

It has been a while since I last read a book by Rick Riordan. Currently there are three books I am itching to read and they are “The Serpent’s Shadow” from the Kane Chronicles, and from the Heroes of Olympus series, “The Mark of Athena”, and “The Demigod Diaries”.

Rick Riordan is one of my many favourite authors because he wrote mythology based fictional stories surrounding Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, and Ancient Rome. I love reading fictional stories about these three ancient civilisations and for Rick Riordan to depict them in his witty and thought provoking novels, I was immediately hooked.

The Kane Chronicles Trilogy are about two siblings named Sadie and Carter Kane, and their story is based around the magicians and magic that was performed in Ancient Egypt, and about the powerful mythological Egyptian gods and goddesses. The trilogy of books in the Kane Chronicles are: “The Red Pyramid”, “The Throne of Fire”, and “The Serpent’s Shadow”. The first two books I have read and I cannot wait to read the final instalment in this trilogy.

                         

The other books I cannot wait to read are from the Heroes of Olympus series which is a spin-off or as I see it, a continuation of the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series. Along with some of the main characters from the Percy Jackson series, there are new characters introduced in the Heroes of Olympus series, with both series meshing together the mythological world and the gods/goddesses of Ancient Greece and Rome. Currently the books in the Heroes of Olympus series are: “The Lost Hero”, “The Son of Neptune”, “The Mark of Athena” (released on October, 2012), and the supplementary collection of stories called “The Demigod Diaries”.  

    

Now if only I can find the time to read these new books!
