“oh the horror...the horror...” this quote was withdrawn from Heart of
Darkness and Apocalypse now, but it can definitely be related to the
book The Throne of Fire. This novel written by Rick Riordan tell us the
story of two siblings, Carter and Sadie Kane, which have to fight
against the forces of chaos to save the world. The forces of chaos can
be considered as the “horror” of the quote upon, Aphophis, the chaos
god, wants to overthrow all the other gods and swallow the sun thus
ending with human civilization. In order to prevent aphophis, Carter and
Sadie undergo an almost impossible quest to awake the old god Rah, the
god that represents harmony and goodness.During their journey they pass
through hopeless moments, they lost their parents and friends but
against all the odds they overcome evil and awake Rah. I think the
meaning behind the story is that there will always exist good and evil,
and you always have to work hard and believe on your principles to stay
on the right side. “The right choice is hardly ever the easy choice.” - Carter Kane.
