“Sadie,” Dad said firmly, “please do not refer to the Devourer of Souls as Poochiekins.”

The Serpent's Shadow is the final installment in the Kane Chronicles trilogy and I AM SO MAD IT'S ONLY A TRILOGY! Seriously, this is Rick Riordan's most underrated series, and I don't understand why, because it's SO FREACKING AWESOME! Yes, I had trouble getting into the story at first, back in book one, and I think because at first I took me a while to understand all the mythology surrounding Egypt and this new world - Egyptian mythology is not as known as Greek or Roman, and it's a little confusing at first. But when I got around to it, and the characters became known, how could I not love it? Again, Riordan is a master of diverse, funny and brave characters. And Apophis is one of the most terrifying villains in all of his book series, I think only secondary to Cronus from the first Percy Jackson series. This book is the perfect conclusion to the trilogy and leaves the right hook for a possible continuation and the crossover books with Percy Jackson (which I need to read ASAP because I need to see Sadie interacting with Annabeth!). The pacing here was super fast and I found myself turning the pages so fast and literally devouring this book just like Apophis does to the sun, there's funny moments, dramatic ones and just overall awesomeness. The final battle is everything you could ask for, it kept me at the edge of my seat.

Oh, and Sadie Kane, you guys! LOVE LOVE LOVE HER. She's badass, unafraid, not-here-for-your-shit, smart, the queen of hieroglyph magic, funny as hell and just amazing. I was so happy with her ending! I'm gonna miss these characters and this story so much!

And just to end my review, my favorite moment in the entire trilogy - MY FEELS FOR MY OTP,AHHH (or should I say OT3? I don't really know. It's confusing as hell, but I LOVE IT).
