The Serpent's Shadow

The Serpent's Shadow by Rick Riordan is the third and final book of the Kane Chronicles.  It follows magicians Sadie and Carter Kane who work with the Ancient Egyptian gods to try to bring order to the world.  Doomsday is coming in 3 short days if they can't stop Apophis (the Chaos snake), who is also working to divide magicians against each other.  It's up to Sadie, Carter, and their friends to try to save the world.

This book was hard for me to get through.  I just wasn't super motivated to read it--maybe because it seemed very events-based, and there are so many foreign details to keep track of in the book.  It was a fun book with distinct characters and some memorable parts, but I definitely like Rick Riordan's original series (The Lightning Thief) better.
