im so tired but i had to pitch in: moon knight and kane chronicles crossover.

classicsnerd:

Ok so in Tower of Nero, when Apollo and Nico and Will visit Rachel in Brooklyn, she mentions her weird neighbors who live in a mansion that Apollo can’t see and occasionally has penguins on the front desk. Remind you of anything?

That’s right, the Kanes are Rachel’s neighbors. This has so much great crossover potential, I love it.

I LOVE THIS IDEA WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME THIS SOONER WE NEED A CROSSOVER

Since their mother’s death, Carter and Sadie have become near strangers. While Sadie has lived with her grandparents in London, her brother has traveled the world with their father, the brilliant Egyptologist, Dr. Julius Kane.

One night, Dr. Kane brings the siblings together for a “research experiment” at the British Museum, where he hopes to set things right for his family. Instead, he unleashes the Egyptian god Set, who banishes him to oblivion and forces the children to flee for their lives.

Soon, Sadie and Carter discover that the gods of Egypt are waking, and the worst of them —Set— has his sights on the Kanes. To stop him, the siblings embark on a dangerous journey across the globe - a quest that brings them ever closer to the truth about their family and their links to a secret order that has existed since the time of the pharaohs.

I spent my childhood going to museums and my favorite exhibits were always the ones about Egypt. When I found out one of my favorite authors was writing a series about Egyptian mythology I was ecstatic! I couldn’t wait to see how Rick Riordan would weave his story.

Here are a couple of things i enjoyed about The Red Pyramid(very minor to minimal spoilers ahead):

• The world building was phenomenal! I loved how Riordan blends his stories with realism and mythology.
• The character building. The way the author writes his characters and makes you become attached despite your best attempts to not become attached because let’s be honest here, Mr. Riordan is not the kindest when it comes to characters. He can enjoy seeing them suffer.
• The fact that incest is actually addressed.  There is a lot of incest in Ancient Egyptian history.  It actually makes learning more about the culture of the pharaohs a little difficult. The way Mr. Riordan handles it is graceful and leaves no doubt in your mind that there is no incest in his books.
• I have always enjoyed how the love story is not a big deal in Riordan’s books.  It helps us keep in mind that the character are in their young teens.  No young teenager needs to worry about being in love and finding the love of their life. There is plenty of time to do that when they are older.
• In Chapter 9 she says ‘My dear, i’m a cat everything i see is mine’.  I have always loved cats i have 3 of them. They are simply the most precious and sassy animals in the world.
• Not many authors are comfortable about addressing race in their books but something Riordan has always done well is talk about the realities of being one race or having a specific belief.  In The Red Pyramid the relationship between PoC(in particular African American men) and the Police. He is very open and honest and states things exactly how they are. He does not gently blow this topic off(which would be difficult since one of the main characters is a PoC)
• One of the final things I appreciated in this book is the fact that Riordan makes little references to his other books. In particular he references the Percy Jackson Series. If you have not read the Percy Jackson books you won’t understand the reference but if you do you will immediately be saying to yourself ‘I see what you did there’.

This book is perfect for anyone who wants a story that has an adventure but isn’t all consumed in romance. I feel like most adventure books are more absorbed in the romance and use that as a point to move the plot along but in my opinion none of Riordan’s books do that.  This book is technically middle grade so it is also very easy to read.

Overall I give this story 4.5 Bards!

It’s time for Kane siblings!

Reyna: Here is my wall of inspirational people.

Piper: Why are there just pictures of you?

Reyna: Because I’m big enough to admit that I am often inspired by myself.

I’m back!

Here’s my Halloween post of Sadie Kane wearing a cute outfit I found on Hot Topic.

I’m super excited for the Kane Chronicles movies to come out on Netflix!

Sadie: Say it.

Carter: *sighs* I need your help.

Sadie:shhh

Carter:what-?

Sadie: I’ms a v o r i n g this moment.

i love how there are so many different interpretations of things, like in tkc ammit the devourer is basically described as their pet bc the dad becomes osiris but in moon knight ammit is this all powerful goddess that has been punished and bound to a stone statue like thats so amazing 

When I tell people my favorite book is Percy Jackson, they have no clue I’m actually referring to three 5 book series, 2 trilogies and multiple collections of short stories.

Riordanverse Characters as things I have done/said: Part 6:

Sadie: You know what Carter? My life’s been real messed up since you came

Carter:

Carter: Sadie, I was here first-

Sadie: Blackmail is more powerful than money. Once you have them with blackmail, you have them forever

Carter:

Carter: Sadie, all I asked is if I could borrow five dollars-

I love that Sadie, unlike the rest of the riordanverse characters, does not say ‘gods.’ She says god. Despite knowing lots of Egyptian gods. Despite hosting a god from a polytheism religion in her head. Sadie just has so much audacity it’s beautiful ☺️

Isn’t it kinda weird that Anubis, a 5000+ year old god, took romantic interest in a 12/13 year old girl?

Like Apollo is 4000+ and he says:

“Very young twelve”

Apollo refers to Meg as a very young twelve, hence no attraction. And yet Anubis loves Sadie??? She’s not of consenting age/an adult…that’s kinda odd. I mean, Anubis sayshe still feels like a teen, but he’s still 5000+ and it’s still weird. Anyone else agree??

this was my multiverse of madness
