Tome Thursday: Brooklyn House Magician's Manual


Hello everyone!

It's back to basics this week with books, and with that I mean that I want to review one of the so-called guide books you sometimes get with a book series or a single book (if it warrants it).

Of course it's also just because I'm a big Rick Riordan fan.

Every once in a while, I'll sit down and make sure I read through some of his books, and while I was busy reviewing his Kane Chronicles about a month ago, I almost completely forgot about a new publication he was releasing into the world!

Since every magician needs a trusty sidekick and a guide to ensure that they don't accidentally set themselves on fire, or turn their helpful baboon into a statue, I thought we might take a look at this.

And I mean, I love how every series is getting a manual of how-tos.

Percy Jackson and Magnus Chase having done their job, it's now time for the Kanes to take centre stage.

Let's take a look at the Brooklyn House Magician's Manual, shall we?

Tome Thursday: The Kane Chronicles


Hello everyone!

As we cheerfully start our way into October and the first week of it is drawing to a close, I figured I could probably dust off some oldie-goldies when it came to books.

Let's face it, there are some that you pick up and read again and again.

If they include hilarious teenage-god encounters, that happens even more often!

The only thing better now would be to have Lucifer on speed-dial for the sarcastic remarks, but I suppose if you can't get him then any old god will do.

In this post, I continue my trek through Rick Riordan's books, as I tend to do every once in a while when I'm feeling especially down about something, because inevitably it'll be one of his deity representations that makes me giggle like a lunatic and feel better.

Tonight, that honour falls to Horus & Co.

Please turn your pages to The Kane Chronicles.
