Reading vlog:

This was such  fun conclusion. I really enjoyed rereading The Kane Chronicles through this graphic novel adaptation.

The illustrations and colours were eye catching and enhanced the reading experience. I wasn't keen on the character designs but I could see past that.

This was such an adventurous and energetic story! I wish there was more in the Kane universe.

If you like Egyptian history, Percy Jackson, and Rick Riordan, read this book. It is a quicker and easier read in comic form, but you still get all the details of the plot.

Creo que es la novela gráfica que más me ha gustado de las tres, pero sigo pensando igual. Han tenido que quitar mucho material para poder adaptarla a este formato y la historia se queda pobre y cuesta entenderla bien, ya que al leerla sientes que te falta información para poder entender bien la narración y que todo cuaje, o al menos esa ha sido mi impresión.
En un futuro (espero que cercano) me leeré los libros para conocer bien la mitología egipcia, porque si algo tiene Rick Riordan es que hace que aprender mitología sea fácil y divertido.

Of course this was a five star book. The Serpent's Shadow is the best book in one of my absolute favourite middle grade series, I was always going to love the graphic novel adaptation - especially as I've adored the adaptations of both the previous two books in the trilogy. Getting to experience one of my favourite series in a new way with beautiful artwork is a great experience and I highly recommend it.

Just as good as the rest!
I don't want to repeat myself but: This is too good!!! <3
I have loved this third one since I first read it but I can't name the best out of three. One thing I was very very upset about when I read the book was the Walt/Anubis merge. I was honestly yelling like: come on! But now, well it wasn't as annoying as I remembered. I couldn't be happier about the end.

One more thing: Walnubis xD
I couldn't stop laughing!!

Gorgeous Illustrations and of course an amazing story written by none other than the fabulous Uncle Rick himself. Would highly recommend.
