Rick Riordan doesn't disappoint. His books are filled with so much action, they are hard to put down! I love it!

Unlike with the Percy Jackson books and the Greek gods, I don't have much knowledge on Egyptian mythology. I've always been fascinated by Egyptian gods, but all I knew was: Ra is the sun god, Anubis has something to do with the underworld, Osiris has something to do with the underworld, Isis is a female god, and Horus is a god with a falcon head. That's about it. LOL

I felt like after reading The Red Pyramid, I know a little more about Egyptian mythology, but there is still so much more I want to learn! I feel like I would have gotten more out of the book had I known more about Egyptian mythology, but I still very much enjoyed the book and look forward to reading the next two!

I only had two qualms about the book:
1) Sadie's age: Riordan is trying to establish a possible love interest between Anubis and Sadie, which is interesting, but she's only TWELVE!! I can't⦠I know that twelve year olds have crushes and, now-a-days do a lot more⦠but she's twelve!! I can't root for a twelve year old and âsixteen year old lookingâ god! It feels gross!

2) The End: (Which I won't go into because if do I'll ruin the ending)
