That being said, I finished the book a bit frustrated. So, like Awad herself, Mirabelle is half-Egyptian. This comes into play with the critiques of Western beauty standards but also with some of the ...entities that Mirabelle interacts with such as Seth (Set) and Horus. However, I felt like those two entities, while clearly connected to the central cult, were never explained as well as I would have liked. How did Horus know that Seth would be after Mirabelle? And what was Noelle's relationship to Horus and Seth? (If you've read the book and have answers/theories, help me out).
Thank you to @netgalley and @marysueruccibooks for the advanced reader copy of Rouge in exchange for my honest review! All thoughts and opinions are my own
