The Serpent's Shadow (The Kane Chronicles Book 3)

The third installment in the Kane Chronicles starts with siblings Sadie and Carter running into the first of many battles, all leading to their final showdown with the Chaos snake Apophis. As Sadie, Katherine Kellgren draws the listener in, narrating in a rapid-fire British accent that suits Sadie's quick wit. Kevin R. Free performs Carter's portions of the story at a slower pace that matches his more subdued and cautious personality. Both narrators create a rich cast of the people and Egyptian gods and monsters that populate the Kanes' world. Even listeners unfamiliar with the series will root for Sadie and Carter to save the world and sort out their personal lives. This is ideal for family listening. A.F. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine
