Cover Reveal: The Serpent's Shadow by Rick Riordan

Okay, so if you read my blog you must know that I'm a ginormous PJO (Rick Riordan) fan.  I also am a big fan his other series, the Kane Chronicles by said author (and of course HOO the sequel series to PJO).

Anyway, here is the cover to the last book in the Kane Chronicles, coming out May of this year!

  I'm not sure how I feel about it.  I like the concept, but is it just a bit to cluttered?  And I don't love how the nice dark blue turns into an unnatural blue into the dusty desert.  TAKE OUT THE UGLY BLUE!!!!!!!!  Haha, yeah...  so what do you think?
