The Serpent's Shadow by Rick Riordan

3.0

to me this book differs a lot than the previous ones in the trilogy. preparations for the main fight lasted ever since the beginning of the series and i was very thrilled to finally read about it. furthermore i felt like this book focuses solely on reaching the conslusion of the series which made me even more excited. i wish it was paced differently though. the characters overcoming difficulties made reading as enjoyable as in the preceeding books of this series up until the point the main fight eventually starts. i was a little bit let down. many events that seemed important were passing by too quickly. i think more pages should have been spent to describe the main fight and the aftermaths of it and that one too many things were left untold. but despite of how i wish it could all be wrapped up better, in my opinion it's still worth reading.
