Perfect for you if...

You loved Percy Jackson but want a fresh mythology angle with Egyptian gods and a sibling dynamic instead of a camp full of demigods.
You enjoy fast-paced adventure stories with witty banter, ancient history woven into the plot, and characters who actually feel like they're making things up as they go along.
You're after a series that respects your intelligence whilst keeping you entertained, with humour that lands for both teens and adults.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer slower-burn character studies or contemporary settings; this is action-first with mythology as the engine.
You want a standalone novel. This is book one of a series and ends on threads that demand you keep reading.
You're tired of the 'chosen one' formula. This book delivers exactly that, just with Egyptian trappings.

About this book

Since their mother's death, Carter and Sadie Kane have grown distant from each other. Sadie has lived with her grandparents in London while her brother has traveled globally with their father, Dr. Julius Kane, a renowned Egyptologist. One night, Dr. Kane gathers the siblings at the British Museum for what he calls a "research experiment," intending to repair their fractured family. Instead, he accidentally releases the Egyptian god Set, who banishes Dr. Kane and forces Carter and Sadie to escape for their survival. This is the first book in The Kane Chronicles series by Rick Riordan, creator of the Percy Jackson series.
