This was the best of the 3 books. I'm still not crazy about this series, though. I hope I like Heroes of Olympus better.

As one of my most anticipated releases of 2012, The Serpent's Shadow had a lot to live up to, and it did. While it wasn't as good as his series based on Greek and Roman mythology, this third and final installment continues the tone Riordan set in the previous books perfectly.

Sadie and Carter are as funny as ever, and I loved meeting up with them this final time. Their chemistry is great and I love how that shows in their dialogue and the way they act around each other. While some aspects were very predictable, I thought The Serpent's Shadow was a great ending to the series. Fast paced, packed with Egyptian mythology and not to forget, plenty of adventure, we go out with a rollercoaster ride.

I'm not sure what more I can say about this book. I'd love to go into detail for parts I loved and hated, but I don't want to spoil it, so I'm just going to leave it at this: if you enjoyed the first two books in this series, you'll enjoy this one as well - I'm pretty sure every Rick Riordan fan will be satisfied. I, for one, can't wait to see what he's got on his sleeve for us next.
