A satisfying conclusion to the series, though some of what did happen was telegraphed well in advance.
The Kanes have to battle Apophis, save the world and save as much of their friends as they can, while also keeping themselves alive.
I understand the framing device but I think it's a bit superflous to the story, Rick Riordan as amanuesis for the Kanes, cute but it doesn't add much to the story beyond minor league opening and closing comments, another writer might have made some editorial comments in the text which would have added to the effect. Still it's not the worst thing about this book, it just puzzles me why it was done.
An entertaining series. Made me want to break out my Egyptian history books.
