2.5
The first story is about the only one I liked. The rest are well-written, but very dark and weird, even in comparison to the Abhorsen series. The first is the only Old Kingdom story and the rest are miscellaneous settings.

One of the stories is very much a Hitler-Nazisim allegory, with the author saying as much in the intro to that particular piece. It's not anti-semitism as such because no-one is Jewish but it's based on anti-semitism. And 'The Lightning Bringer' is a little rape-y.
