No recordaba mucho de lo que había ocurrido en el primer libro, ya que me lo leí hace casi un año, pero el autor hizo un gran trabajo para engancharme en la historia de nuevo.

Pero ahora debo hablar de un personaje que casi no sale pero amo:
✨Anubis✨
Este wey me gustó desde que apareció en el primer libro, donde lo describían como el ✨dark-haired guy✨, pero en esta segunda parte es oficial que lo amo ajsldkfkd. Y aunque necesité que apareciera en más escenas, por alguna razón me gusta el cliché/tropo del vato misterioso. Nuevo crush literario desbloqueado.
(Y no es que me caiga mal Walt, pero, girl, Anubis es Anubis).

Y sobre Set, debo decir que sí me cae bien, lol; es que me da vibes del Lucifer de la serie.

A Sadie la amo, con su actitud todo-me-vale-madres, y en conclusión amo todo lo que escriba Rick Riordan.
Es que a este hombre le compraría hasta la lista del supermercado.

Most of my complaints about this book are complaints about Rick Riordan in general.
His plots can be a little formulaic. Sometimes it seems like we’re just running from one mythological action set piece to another, which gets old.
I think Greek mythology is a better fit for rick’s writing style than Egyptian. And as cool and unique as Egyptian mythology is, it can get so confusing.
Sometimes rick’s humor comes across as a middle aged man trying to appeal to teenagers, or maybe I’ve just outgrown his books.
That being said, there was some things I loved about this book. I LOVE Sadie. She’s such a baddie, but she’s such a strong and memorable character that sometimes she overshadows carter, who is a little more forgettable. Don’t get me wrong though, I do love carter! He is endearing because he’s so dorky.
I like that the central battle of the trilogy is between chaos and order. Idk it’s just interesting. I also like the whole house of life vs. the gods power struggle. I’m invested in carter and zia and Sadie and Walt/Anubis. I’m sad because I know Sadie will probably end up with Walt, but she and Anubis have such good chemistry.
I think I would have enjoyed this more if I hadn’t waited so long to read it after the first book. And I really didn’t remember much from the first. I hate to say it, but Rick riordan’s plots have a way of completely leaving my mind the moment I put the book down. It happened with Percy Jackson too. This book ended up taking me wayyyy longer than I thought it would. Who knows if or when I’ll read the third one. Overall a fun time, even though I wasn’t very engaged. Probably just outgrowing these books. Rip
