The Serpent's Shadow by Rick Riordan
5.0
I don't think there has been a time where I haven't liked Rick Riordan book. I'm not going to say the books are perfect, they're not by any means, but I am mood reader and this brought so much comfort and joy that I couldn't not put five stars.
Carter is me, I am Carter. I have never felt like this with a character before. I understand he is awkwardness his fear for leadership and how uncomfortable he was sometimes when talking to people. I also understood his anger at times, how he couldn't control it and how passionate he was about some things. He is definitely one of my comfort characters after reading this.
On the other hand, Saddie was his complete opposite and a firecracker. I loved how energetic she was but because I'm someone that likes to think before they act I was very annoyed with some of the things she did. But that's just because of my character. I really loved how she care for her family and friends and how far she's come from the first book.
The thing that I'm still iffy about is the whole Walt and Anubis thing. Don't get me wrong I love both characters and it's the first time that I really liked the love triangle but I don't know about what happened in the end.
Overall it was a great book. I was on the edge of my seat most of the time. I really enjoyed diving into another kind of mythology and learning about their gods and beliefs (also rick is by no means an expert in Egyptian mythology. This is a work of fiction but it had captured my attention making me want to actually learn more about it like it did with norse mythology and Magnus Chase). Definitely recommend reading!!
