OMG

Gran final para las crónicas de Kane, solo que las leí en español y creo que fue un error porque los libros de Rick Riordan se disfrutan mil veces más en inglés

Ahora, sobre lo de Sadie me quedé super confundida pero mira si ellos son felices que se puede hacer

¡Buenas noticias! Sí me gustan las Cróncias de Kane, el problema al principio fue que las leí en español y habiendo leído todos los libros de Rick en inglés creo que eso lo hizo una experiencia uncanny valleyesca.
Le tengo cariño a Carter, si hubiera leído a Sadie a los 13-14 ella sería mi favorita pero pues no fue así. Aunque la aprecio, es bastante divertida y a excepción de que llama a Carter "brother" son una excelente representación de the ups and downs of tener hermanos.
Igual me encantó que ya leí las historias en las que los Kane se encuentran a Annabeth y Percy, sigo esperando el épico crossover de ellos con Magnus Chase mientras intentan detener otro fin del mundo o algo, no sé. Ponte a trabajar Rick.
Lo único malo es que me tardé leyendolo y ahora debo dinero a la biblioteca, pero bueno así es la vida a veces.

It’s Rick Riordan, so it’s fun and all, but the cast of characters in the Kane Chronicles is pretty unmemorable and/or derivative of the characters in Riordan’s other series. The main villain is kind of a bore and Setne, who is only in the last quarter of the book, completely steals the show from him. I didn’t have a bad time reading this series, but I’m probably going to forget about everyone who’s not Sadie a month from now.

Solid book. I’m glad I gave a chance to this series and I loved the egyptian lore. The romance was cute and I was not expecting the

love triangle

. Loved how it was handled, especially after finishing clockwork princess recently. I was invested and it’s definitely a fault of mine that I was not paying it the attention and time it deserved. I feel I rushed through it and it didn’t make a lasting impact on me. I wish I could give it another read but I know I will get bored if I do. There was not a lot of imaginative scenery, a lot of description were just mentioned briefly. Good writing, and Rick is one of the best when writing young characters but I was not that invested in the characters. Partially a good thing, because that can make the book drag in other characters chapters if you have favorites, one of the things I dislike about Cassandra Clare’s books. I loved the small mentions of religion, science and the creation of the world. Bast is my fave and I really like Bess and Twaret? lovely couple. So much to say about that. It was fun and I feel I learned a lot of history and about Egypt.
