Despite their best efforts, Carter and Sadie Kane can't seem to keep Apophis, the chaos snake, down. Now Apophis is threatening to plunge the world into eternal darkness, and the Kanes are faced with the impossible task of having to destroy him once and for all. Unfortunately, the magicians of the House of Life are on the brink of civil war, the gods are divided, and the young initiates of Brooklyn House stand almost alone against the forces of chaos. The Kanes' only hope is an ancient spell that might turn the serpent's own shadow into a weapon, but the magic has been lost for a millennia. To find the answer they need, the Kanes must rely on the murderous ghost of a powerful magician who might be able to lead them to the serpent's shadow… or might lead them to their deaths in the depths of the underworld. Nothing less than the mortal world is at stake when the Kane family fulfills its destiny in this thrilling conclusion to the Kane Chronicles. I loved this, it was a great end to a great trilogy, but I can hardly think about anything besides how hard it was hinted at the end that one day we may see the different mythologies clash, I know they’ve always existed in the same universe, and there are a few Kane/Percy Jackson short stories, but things are clearly not finished for the Kanes, and now all I can think about is how awesome a Kane Chronicles/Percy Jackson/Magnus Chase series would be, or even just a Kane Chronicles/Percy Jackson series. Back to reviewing this particular book, I’m not sure how I feel about the resolution of the Walt/Sadie/Anubis love triangle, it seemed just a little too finely engineered, but I don’t hate it. I really hope this truly isn’t the last we see of the Kanes. As much as I loved this book trilogy, I acknowledge that the ending didn’t grip me as much as The Last Olympian did.

3.5/5
this is definitely my least favorite series in the percy jackson universe but it was still super nostalgic and fun to read. i got through the entire trilogy pretty quickly and this one was by far my favorite of the three. my only thing was that the sadie/anubis relationship felt weird reading back on it just because she's so young and he's so old? despite that, i really enjoyed it and thought carter and zia were adorable

I liked this, but I didn’t love it as much as I’d hoped. I really didnt like the storyline about Sadie’s love life (she is a child. she is literally 13)
