The Serpent's Shadow by Rick Riordan

Imaginative and Creative. There are no rules in your imagination, anything goes.

There are many lessons on the Egyptian Gods with inventive stories and lots of adventure.  I hate that the heroine was a bit annoying and not emotionally stronger. Maybe it’s the author’s way of showing her human side, but is it necessary for the women to always come apart during an emotional crisis and be stabilized by her male counterpart. I also felt like the fighting scenes with the Gods were drawn out and took forever but the younger audience probably really likes that. Ages 10 and up

Over all I really enjoyed the book, it is fun and entertaining and full of life lessons. Sadie and Carter Kane have their hands full with Apophis, the god of Chaos.
