Umm, I'm really not sure what to say. I'm a little disappointed, maybe. I just didn't feel that it was a great ending. It could have been a lot better, for sure.

Personally,I like feeling overwhelmed, especially when it comes to the last book in a series. And I did feel overwhelmed, but only for like, a chapter or so. Which is really disappointing for me. At the end of a book I'm usually gushing about it and thinking about it for hours, even days, later, but not with this one. I just went on ahead and picked up another book.

Nevertheless, still a good read. It might get a little confusing for those not so familiar with Egyptian mythology, like me. But there's always a glossary at the end to help you by. :)

I think the plot pretty much was reaaaaally predictable, but I still enjoyed it a lot, so I've got to say 5 stars for the clever rick Riordan and what he did with the Walt matter, just kind of genious.

Sentimientos encontrados, la historia me ha gustado, el libro es bastante bueno y Rick Riordan una vez más hace que llore por terminar alguna de sus sagas. Pero los capítulos más largos han hecho que no pudiera disfrutarlo tanto como hubiera querido, no puede ser que cada capítulo se tardase como 20 min. en leer, eso hace que me de una pereza inmensa ponerme a leer el libro.

Finally got out of a 1 month book slump, and finished this! I loved the Kanes sooooooo much throughout this trilogy! They made a great team and the plot was so good. I loved that hint at the end about the crossovers, can't wait to finally read them. Rick Riordan never disappoints <3
