Red Pyramid- My Reading Progress

Remember that many of this type of blog will include some spoilers.

So I am not exactly the fastest reader, as you can see since I'm still not very far in this book, and I've been giving myself less and less time to read recently, but I'm starting to enjoy the book a lot, so now I can see that the book will really be amazing. Anyway, Carter and Sadie are still in that magical house on top of the building in New York City (I don't know if I've mentioned that yet or not). After they opened that door I talked about earlier with magic, they found some magic items that came to life to serve them, and they learned that their family name is on a scroll titled "Blood of the Pharaoh" which included many pharaoh names (or at least that's what I think they are), so they realized that what their Uncle Amos said about their family going way back is true. Then, suddenly, they heard chaos and left the library to see the house alligator being attacked by some leopards with snake necks. The alligator destroyed the balcony and made himself and the weird creatures fall into a river, but they both soon came back (nobody knows where the alligator is) and that is what I've read.

Red Pyramid- Character Development

As the story progresses, it seems that, so far, the characters have stayed pretty much the same. Sadie has been from the beginning very curious and outgoing. She actually starts go get more so when she learns about magic and just goes right ahead to explore a forbidden place that could be highly dangerous. Carter is still hesitant to do those things with her, but always gets convinced and helps her out. They learn some new things and Sadie tries to use magic, but she gets faint and weak. Basically, they haven't changed much and they have a lot to learn.
