The Serpent's Shadow
by Rick Riordan, 401 pgs, hardcoverSeries: The Kane Chronicles #3
Overall Grade: B
After the last book, Apophis is still threatening the Earth with Chaos (and some magicians are even blaming the Kanes and secretly siding with Apophis). This book drops us right into the action as Carter and Sadie try to save the last scroll that might contain a spell to rid them of Apophis. They fail and are left patching together a plan that requires the questionable aide of the notorious and dangerous ghost of an Ancient Egyptian magician. Oh, and two more characters become god-hosts or whatever they call them.
It seems this is the final book in this series, though there are strong hints at the end that there are other pantheons of gods and future dangers, there is nothing explicitly demanding a new book.
