Derick Babayan. The serpents shadow
By: Rick Riordan
The serpents shadow, a shadow that may encase the whole world... or will it?
Sadie and Carter Kane, two young magicians, that think that they can go against all the odds and save the world. These two kids are in over their heads, they think they can go up... against a god. But they know they can do it, they know that they have to do it. Apophis, an evil God, that was recently released from his prison and has threatened to attack and destroy the earth in only a few days time. Carter, Sadie, and their young students will have to collect all the artifacts that Apophis will be attempting to steal so that they can stop him from gaining the power he needs to destroy the world, but all the odds are against them and the fact that almost no one believes in them just makes it harder, " I have my best magicians surrounding it night and day. You think you can do better at Brooklyn house"(3). Carter and Sadie have to get through numerous obstacles to ensure the safety of the world, and they must make sure that Apophis cannot collect the artifacts that he needs to destroy the earth. These two teens are on a mission to recapture Apophis and restore peace to the world, and do it without having any more casualties, "In other attacks like this one... The serpents minions didn't leave any survivors "(5). Do you think that these two teens have what it takes to lead a group of young magicians and save the world?
Personally I think that this book is great. I think that this book is interesting to read, because of all the action, and the Egyptian mythology twist it has on everything. I find it very interesting and cool how the gods are incorporated in this books, because of the gods going up against Sadie, and Carter anything can happen, and things can change in an instant to make the book much more interesting and appealing to the readers. I also like how the main characters are a couple of teens that no one has faith in, "Are these children the best you could send against me"(20), almost everyone doubts these teens even though they have saved the world multiple times, and they underestimate what they can do so I like how it's a couple of teens that save everyone, and prove all the people who doubted them wrong. This book is just all around a really thrilling book with an amazing balance of action, and comedy. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone that likes action or Egyptian mythology. If you are a fan of the Percy Jackson series I can almost guarantee you will like this series. I first started reading the Percy Jackson series, and then when the first book from this series was released I was a bit skeptical, but I tried it out and I really ended up enjoying it.
