The Serpent's Shadow by Rick Riordan
4.0

3.5 stars

• It had everything I love: fantastic characters, witty dialogue, action-packed battles, twists and turns, and, of course, the retelling of ancient mythology.
• Unlike the Percy Jackson series, this series is consistently well-written and paced.
• The characters are genuinely funny and have the cutest relationships, especially Carter and Sadie.
• It took me awhile to get into this. It took about 150 pages for anything to really happen.
• Sadie's predicament with Walt and Anubis really irritated me too. I'm not a love triangle fan.
• I did like Walt and Anubis as individuals, though, and the ending was perfect (imo).

Overall? While this wasn't the best book of the trilogy, it was still a solid finale.
