So I'm currently not reading anything because I don't know what to read, especially since I finished all of the books that were like the Percy Jackson books, and that the last book I read, which was Allegiant, had a terrible ending to one of my favorite series by killing off the main character and leaving the city in despair. So, I guess I am going to do a book review of a book that had a FAR better ending than Allegiant, and it is also the last of its series. It's called The Serpent's Shadow.
The book itself was a great book, and the series was good as well. At least it doesn't trash the main character due to his/her death. In fact, all the antagonists either become good people if they were controlled, or they were just annihilated; literally!
It started out as Carter and Sadie just doing the same old, same old by working to get the suidents of the nomes to be safe and to help them become magicians like the two main chartacters and their friends. And then Apophis, the god of chaos strikes back and the world was on the margin of not being obliterated be evile, chaos, death and destruction. They find out that they can bring their mom back. The rest of the story goes on with Carter and Sadie try to find out how they can kill Apophis and their battle with him.
That was definitely a pretty good book. I do believe that the author hints at the end of the Kane series and the Heroes of Olympus series that there might be a series where the two meet and collide. Any textual evidence to provide us? Any extreme tension that is your favorite?
ReplyDeleteI never read this series because I never really thought I would like it, but after reading your review on this book I think I'll give the series a try.
ReplyDeleteI read the Percy Jackson series and really liked it! After that though, I never moved to reading the books like Red Pyramid. But I think this was a good reflection and hope you can find more great books!
