The Red Pyramid discussion (00:31:38)
- This is it! We’re here to talk about the final chapter of The Red Pyramid and then make our predictions for what may come next.
- A lot happened in the last two chapters, so we do a mini recap.
- Carter gets the last POV chapter!
- The kids (and Amos) return to Brooklyn and are greeted by an enthusiastic Khufu.
- Muffin is safe and comfortable, and everyone gets a spot to sleep amongst the rubble. How thoughtful.
- It takes a while to rebuild the mansion, and each sibling has their own strength.
- Amos is still struggling with what happened to him, and we totally understand why–it was such a violation.
- Who is the real Amos and will we get to see him in Book 2?
- The amulets are safe, and we wonder what it’ll be like when the kids are actually ready to host the gods again.
- Why can Carter see Anubis in his human form now?
- It must be so weird to see their old home in L.A.
- We were right about Julius, Osiris, and the Underworld throne!
- The banter between Anubis and Sadie is what romance books are made of!
- The situation with Julius is complicated to say the least, though we understand why he did what he did.
- Ruby shows up and we learn that she was kind of there with Isis when Sadie was hosting the goddess.
- Horus takes the throne of the gods and no one challenges him.
- Then all the gods bow to the Kanes. ZEUS WOULD NEVER.
- The gods restored the mansion, which is super nice, but we all know what we were really hoping for.
- Amos is leaving to go back to the House of Life and leaving the kids on their own.
- Except Bast is totally back!
- Carter thinks Sadie will want to go back to her grandparents, but she’s totally going to stay with him in Brooklyn.
- We really loved the end of this book and how it hints to more coming soon.
- What were our favorite lines and favorite moments?
- What can we expect in Book 2?
- We can’t wait to see the new recruits!
- Carter is totally going to track down the real Zia.
- The next book is titled The Throne of Fire, and we have a pretty good idea of what that could mean.
