BOOK REVIEW THE THRONE OF FIRE ( by Rick Riordan)

Rating- 8/10

Two heroes 
An unstoppable enemy
Five days till doomsday.....

Carter and Sadie Kane are in a very big trouble. They have to find the Book of Ra , awaken the sun god, & defeat the serpent of Chaos, Apophis, a feat no magician has ever achieved . Carter also wants to save Zia, but can they do this in just 5 days 

The Throne of Fire , the second installment of the Kane Chronicles, takes us through an epic journey along with humorous bits here and there. Rick Riordan  has as usual given hilarious titles to the chapters{ like  CARTER DOES SOMETHING REALLY STUPID( and no one is surprised) }. The plot is nail- biting and full of suspense and twists. He (Rick Riordan)  slowly and beautifully unravels the story except for the conclusion that happens and gets over too quickly. Overall it is a fantastic read ,especially for action-adventure- mythology genre

PC Build Log Part 1 - Inspiration & Parts Selection

​The old laptop was starting to show its age, with the slow spinning drive and faulty display. Scouring the internet for deals on budget laptops, I was disappointed by the lack of options with 8gb ram and solid-state storage within budget. So it was clear – we decided upon a custom-built PC! This was it! Finally, with all the research I had done in custom pc hardware, I can now use it to select parts for a home PC.
