I would've liked it a bit longer, to be honest, although I understand the whole point is to condense the novel and show the storyline through a different lens Nothing about it stands out to me in a positive or negative way, ya know? Mediocre writing - I've seen better, but I've seen worse. Why the hell is Sadie so young? And Carter, too? Conflicts are solved in a convenient, yet hard to predict way Quality illustrations I found engaging nonetheless Each character had their own unique quirk that made them stand out from the others The characters were easily distinguishable I have not read the original The Throne of Fire by Rick Riordan, so I did not have any prior knowledge to base my opinions of this graphic novel on, however, I will say the following positives: I just like calling authors out on their plotholes.īeing as I am not a graphic novel fan, I wasn't expecting to enjoy THE THRONE OF FIRE, therefore, I wasn't let down, but I also wasn't surprised it wasn't appealing to me.

The initiates Sadie and Carter gather up for magic training in Brooklyn are all very young, 9-15 years old. Here's one thing that really bothered me.
