I just finished reading the third and final book of the “Kane Chronicles” trilogy. In my opinion, the whole story was just really well made and the way every event transitioned from chapter to chapter wasn’t bad at all. My only problem was that they left the ending for the short story and Greek Gods weren’t put in more detail. Let me explain, you see, after defeating Apophis everyone starts celebrating and Carter becomes the ruler of Egypt and it’s Gods. Alongside “Horus”, who is the God he’s followed. Ra and the rest of the gods disappear back into the heavens but Carter and Sadie have enough time to say hi to their parents and see what they have to say. Most of the other (not so popular gods), who helped the two fight Apophis in the final battle either returned to their temples, went to Osiris seeking the path to Heaven, or stayed in the House of Rest full of energy.
After Carter and Sadie find about all of this they say goodbye to some of the other gods that helped them fight (Like Bes, Bast, and Tawaret) on the journey and meet with their crush’s. Carter decided to take Zia out the food court at the mall and they had a little talk before she kissed him. Sadie and Walt/Anubis (now part of the same person) decide to dance on the top of the Brooklyn House as a celebration for meeting up once again. Unfortunately, this is how the book ends and they don’t tell us anything about Setne, besides the fact that Carter saw him disappear right after the fight. That’s when they give a “short story” about what are Setne’s intentions and how both Carter and Sadie use their powers to stop them. But they can’t do it alone, instead they meet up with two other kids from a different mythology, the Greeks.
Combining the power of both Egyptian and Greek powers they easily defeat Setne, and then they just say goodbye and leave… In my opinion, if would have been a much better book if Rick Riordan combined both mythologies into one so that they realize they aren’t the only ones. And I bet you that in the time Carter and Sadie are living, there are also Chinese and Mayan gods that exist at a certain place in the world. Maybe for the author’s final book he can incorporate every different mythology from the Egyptians, to the Romans, and even the Japenese. And together they’ll have to fight an even more powerful threat. One stronger than the all mighty god “Apophis”. In fact, I wonder what would’ve have happened if Carter and Sadie had failed. Would the other gods of different myths be oblivious? Would they attack and hopefully save the world? Or would the gods not be affected by the evil force since it’s Egyptian?
