Surprise!
A second birthday gift from Ashley!
To
celebrate my 18th birthday, I've finished a book and
I can't help but write a book review! IT'S A MUST READ!
The
Serpent's Shadow by Rick Riordan! It's the third book in his Kane
Chronicles using Egyptian mythology to craft an enjoyable read that
never fails his readers!
After
all Sadie and Carter Kane have been through, sending Rick Riordan
audio recordings to explain to the world what they've been up to,
losing best friends left and right, and given immense
responsibilities for 14 and 15 year olds – not to mention their
dramatic love lives driving them crazy, it's all come down to this.
The final battle with Apophis, the evil god working to destroy all of
civilization, will either cost the Kanes lives or live to see the end
of the world. In this epic show down of friendship, loyalty, brother
and sister love, crazy mythology thrown left and right...it's a book
you can't put down.
The
most exciting part for us readers (or maybe just me) but you finally
get to see what happens with Carter Kane and Zia Rashid! Questions
swirling around Zia answered! And an ending hopefully leading
us on to even more books.
My
favorite characters in this book are Sadie Kane, Walt Stone, and
Anubis the god of death. These guys are seriously the best
trio/couple to exist in Egypt!
Not
only is the story a must read but I encourage parents to nudge their
kids about reading ANY book by Rick Riordan. Kids absolutely love
reading these books and teenagers all over the world. What I've
seriously noticed at book signings and movie crazies for Riordan's
books is how much kids want to read thanks to these awesome books and
there's absolutely nothing wrong with the books for you parents to
sheild your childrens eyes. These books are a learning experience
about mythology in Greece, Italy, and now Egypt!
Honestly
I couldn't have asked for more from Rick Riordan once again. He never
fails the world with his awesomeness and his story telling is beyond
brilliant.
If you
are interested in reading this series or any series by Rick Riordan
keep in mind when he wrote his books! The Percy
Jackson and the Olympians (6 book series) is the starting point.
After that is the sequel series Heroes of Olympus but he started
writing the Kane Chronicles as well. I only mention this because he
continues to mention Greek mythology in the Percy Jackson world in
the Kane Chronicles and I SERIOUSLY am starting to wonder if Riordan
is planning to combine these three series into one eventually.
Read
The Kane Chronicles if you want to see what I see!
