What this book is about
In the concluding Kane Chronicles novel, Carter and Sadie must find a way to defeat Apophis—the chaos serpent who threatens to unmake the sun and end all existence. Riordan's Egyptian mythology trilogy comes to a satisfying close, balancing sibling relationship dynamics, genuine stakes, and the broad cast of Egyptian gods who have become as familiar as the Olympians. A strong conclusion to a series that deserves to stand alongside Percy Jackson.
