I loved this graphic novel. The story was in pieces and they all came together in a fun way. The battle at the end was exciting and believable. Believable for a story about kids who control magic and host Egyptian gods in their bodies. The magic followed files and they were able to solve the problem with their wits as well. The Kane’s are impressive characters. I’m sad their story was only three, but it might be better than dragging out and not having the story be as good.

"Ese obelisco es el símbolo del orden. Todo lo demás... ¡Es el poder de Apofis! Siempre minando la creación, siempre devorando y destruyendo. Decidme, ¿Cuál de las dos fuerzas es más poderosa?"

Ya finalizado el último volumen que adapta la trilogía de "Las Crónicas de Kane" y me quedo un poco triste de ver nuevamente partir a estos personajes. Las ilustraciones siguen siendo magníficas, en todo sentido, ya que a parte de reflejar perfectamente la historia creada por Rick Riordan también desarrollan los momentos de comedia existentes en los libros de una manera original.
Mi única crítica es que se sintió muy corta, es claro que eliminaron bastantes escenas, y porque es adaptación se entiende, pero igual creo que falto un desarrollo en ciertas narrativas.
A pesar de esto, el artista logra darle un buen cierre a la trama y a la trilogía. Indudablemente, es una muy buena opción para aproximarse a esta saga.

Como en los anteriores, buena manera de revisitar la historia y los personajes esta vez con ayuda visual y rapidísimo de leer, pero le falta toda la chicha del libro.

Just finished rereading this book today, I love the graphics and I think it’s cool that the themes and colours throughout the series has gotten darker. It wrapped up the series nicely, but I’m still not sure how I feel about the whole Walt/Anubis/Sadie thing, I kinda like it and kinda hate it. Also Im pretty sure Walt/Anubis is 16 or maybe older and Sadie is 13 so again not sure how I feel about that. Bit random but I wished that Sadie would have used her avatar more, I feel like Carter uses it in every fight and Sadie barley does.

This graphic novel was a quick and entertaining read! Naturally, this would feel rushed compared to the original novel. I did appreciate the scenes included and the artwork was amazing! My only complaint is the font. Not sure if it's only because I was reading an ebook version of this, but the font of the text felt smaller than usual.

Reading these graphic novels makes me want to reread the original trilogy!
