| Title: The Serpent's Shadow Author: Rick Riordan Genre: Junior Fiction Rating: 4.5 |
Super sad that this is "supposed" to be the last book in Riordan's Kane Chronicles series. However, fingers crossed, this isn't actually the case. I got the feeling after reading this book that maybe (hopefully) a book combining Egyptian mythology with the Greek/Roman mythology is in the future.
I love Riordan's junior fiction books, but I do find the Kane Chronicles more difficult to follow than the Percy Jackson or Lost Heroes of Olympus series. Most likely because I am just more familiar with Greek mythology than Egyptian mythology. That being said, I love being able to learn mroe about Egytian mythology through this series.
In this book, the battle to stop Apophis, the god of Chaos, is the center of the plot. Of course Carter and Sadie Kane's messy yet entertaining love lives are also part of the plot line. The Kane children face numerous challenges and obstacles they need to overcome which make for a book packed full of non-stop actiona and adventure. Don't start this book unless you have plenty of time to read becasue it will be one which is really hard to put down.
