Really funny. Definitely a recommendation if you read the full Kane Chronicles series. It even has a storyline woven into the information. I also learned from it. All the lore of the series were jumbled in my head, now I understand it way better.

I forgot how much I enjoyed Sadie and Carter and their banter.

It’s meant to be a manual, and has info on the gods, with “quirky” notes from Sadie, and little quizzes. Since I’m not the biggest Sadie Kane fan, and because I still know very little of the Egyptian gods, this was difficult to get through. Such a small book, but I set it down many times. Oh of course there’s some Setne drama so I definitely recommend you read Demigods and Magicians first.

Un buen complemento, para la saga de los hermanos Kane, lo habia empezado antes de leer la trilogia y me hice varios spoilers, aunque no a todos les entendí de momento. Asi que tuve que dejarlo abandonado por un par de meses, y ahora despues de leer los libros que van antes, ya le tengo más cariño a los personajes. Incluso a los "malos" como Setne (que no se porqué motivo más bien me causa risa).
Sigo amando a Anubis sin duda alguna. Y me gustaria leer alguna historia en donde participen estos personajes con los de las saga de Dioses/Heroes griegos, aunque ya tenemos la historia con Sobek. Pero es muy muy muy corta y quiero más.

Light and funny, some stories were more interesting than the others, I just loved the chapter about Bast and Carter's story about the kandake. It was really nice to immerse myself into this word once again and read more about my favourite characters (Sadie did not disappoint me, though I wish there were more Walt's POV chapters) that explained how his connection to . However, the quizzes that required turning the book upside down over and over again for answers were quite annoying.

This was amazing. From Setne's sub-plot to Sadie's comments trough-out the book. I loved every page of it.
