This was actually fun to read.

Majority of the things here are nothing new if you read the books, but somethings I either didn't know or I didn't remember so that's cool.

A short ready, and probably only interesting to the Riordan addict.
The illustrations commissioned for the series are pretty cool, and seeing picture of the places we visit in the books are great, but some of these are straight up stock images.
This is great if you took a long break between reading the second book and the last one, serves as a refresher course in all things Kane Chronicles.

Kane Chronicles adalah seri pertama dari Rick Riordan yang kubaca dan cerita heboh tentang mitologi Mesir ini sukses membuatku jatuh bangun ngefans beliau sampai sekarang. Caranya bercerita yang lucu dan ringan membuat sesuatu yang kuno dan geek macam mitologi dan hieroglyphs tampak keren dan asyik untuk di pelajari.

Buku panduan ini tampil dalam halaman glossy penuh warna dan ilustrasi karakter dan foto-foto lainnya. Seandainya dulu aku membacanya bersama dengan buku serinya, akan sangat membantu untuk membentuk imaginasi. Sayangnya buku ini mencoba menawarkam banyak hal dari mitologi Mesir yang kompleks dalam satu buku mini dengan halaman terbatas. Mulai dari ringkasan kisah, profil karakter (plus wawancara-wawancara, para dewa/dewi, monster, artefak, simbol dll dll ada di sini. Efek sampingnya penjelasannya jadi terlalu singkat dan saya butuh lebih lagi.

A nice refresher for the series thus far, and since I have a hard time picturing the characters, I found this to be a helpful visual guide as well.

Very nice read, although one can gather most information by reading the Kane Chronicles themselves. The book does give a bit more input on the Egyptian gods and their relationship as well as the hieroglyphs. It's a nice addition to the series.
