This Book Review was a really, really, really, long one to write. This is the last book of the Kane Chronicles series, and I personally loved it. Maybe even more than Percy Jackson, I just loved the new concept of Egyptian gods, and evil gods as well. I believe that Apophis is the most horrendous, terrifying, and life-threatening enemy EVER,
All the other antagonists in Rick Riordan’s books were just blah blah blah, destroy Camp Jupiter and Half-Blood, kill them all, blah blah blah, conquer the world.
But Apophis, he went full anger mode, and had one plan. Swallow the Sun God Ra, who went crazy and probably had dementia, and destroy the world. That’s just a whole new level.
As for the characters, I really enjoyed the story behind Carter and Sadie, especially Carter. He’s an Egypt-loving nerd, and is a combat magician. Sadie, who has a future that includes studying, is the magician who reads all the hieroglyphs and uses magic. That’s really, really messed up, but I generally enjoyed the swap in the 2 character’s personalities.
But there’s a good reason why this book isn’t the best book in the world Rick Riordan has created. The character buff is too much. In Percy Jackson, Percy’s mother, Sally, is just a normal human being, while his dad is Poseidon. However, in the Kane Chronicles, they are from an ancient Pharaoh family, have a father who is Osiris, have an uncle who eventually bonds with Set, bonds with Horus and Isis, and owns a mansion full of magicians who basically follow their bidding. Yeah, Carter also becomes the king of the gods with Horus. That’s WAY too much, even for the main protagonists of this story. What was Rick thinking?
Aside from the completely overpowered characters, I extremely relished reading this series, and now there’s like one series left in my endeavor to finish the entire Rick Riordan series. I’ve conquered Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus, the Trials of Apollo, and now the Kane Chronicles.
I’ll soon finish reading the Magnus Chase series.
Until we meet again!
