The Kane Chronicles/YMMV

• Crowning Moment of Awesome: "I am Carter Kane. Blood of the Pharaohs, Eye of Horus. And now, Set-brother, uncle, traitor-I'm going to crush you like a gnat."
  • Also, Desjardins, of all people, gets one when he execrates Apophis. To clarify, execration will pretty much erase anything lower than a god from existence- and for gods and things like Apophis, it's basically the equivalent of shooting them in the face with shotgun.
    • Correction: Detonating a nuclear bomb in their face. As Carter himself says.

--> Desjardins: Apophis, I name you Lord of Chaos, Serpent in the Dark, the Fear of the Twelve Houses, The Hated One. I speak for the gods. I speak for the House of Life. I am a servant of Ma'at. I cast you underfoot. I erase your name. I erase you from the memory of Egypt.

• Bes in general, being the god of badass dwarves.
• Mr. Fanservice: Anubis. Passages describing his appearance are worth rereading just for the beautiful mental image.
• Tear Jerker: Bast's death. They fail to rescue their dad, they've lost practically everything, and Carter's love interest was a statue.
  • Actually their dad knew he wouldn't live but would be with his wife, they still have Amos and Bast, and Carter's love interest is thus still alive but sleeping, so Bittersweet Ending.
    • And then Bes sacrificing his ren-and with it, his mind-so that the siblings have enough time to beat the Big Bad of the second book.
