The Serpent's Shadow by Rick Riordan
This is the third book in the Kane Chronicles series. It was good, but for some reason I can't get into this series as much as I can with the Percy Jackson or Heroes of Olympus series. Maybe because I am completely unfamiliar with Egyptian mythology so I tend to get a little confused as to which god/goddess does what? Who knows. I am not saying it isn't worth reading, it really is good. And this one is probably better than the first two.
I really liked Sadie a lot more in this book, her conflict between Walt and Anubis had a very interesting and unexpected outcome. I think the relationships between the characters is good enough that I can get over my lack of knowledge about the mythology. I also really liked the relationship between Sadie and Bes and Bast. There might have been a few tears (or almost tears) shed over the course of the series regarding those three!
In preparation of the release of this new book, I also read the first two books in the series. Any excuse, right?
I am sure I will keep reading this series, you know how I get. Once I start a series I can't stop. Even if it becomes terrible (see, Laurel K. Hamilton's Meredith Gentry series - I totally read ALL of them)
