What can I say about the over arching story of Apophis in this trilogy, it was stunning, the buildup, the stakes, the relationships, everything about this had me on the edge of my seat. I initially started this series, to get out of a dangerous reading slump, and it did just that and more, as I said before, this is the author of childhood and one of the reasons that I’m unfortunately so obsessed with reading. Also honorable mention to my faves, Walt/Anubis unexpectedly becoming my fav duo of lovestruck boys and to Sadie Kane for making them that way (it’s not easy to make both a god and a man fall irreversibly in love with you, but of course you can’t doubt Sadie Kane), Carter for being incredibly obsessed with our girl Zia Rashid, love that for you, plus Set who’s has always been incredibly sassy and unintentionally funny, and to Amos, whose strength can not be understated. Incredible book and incredible story.
