The main cast of characters are racist and supremacist and it was so clearly a huge part of their personalities. I loved the story but was disappointed with the number of problematic things said and displays of their crappy attitudes.

Lighthearted and so fun, but also a lot of problematic colonial vibes following British archaeologists in Egypt

Rich white lady goes to Egypt because like the white men who came before her, she felt entitled to the wonders and pilfering of Africa. To draw in all the white women reading this, she’s a snarky independent woman in a time when women are property. While in Egypt, the colonizer makes it clear that in addition to having no time for trifling men, she is far superior to the local, dark-skinned, dumb ass Egyptians. Shoulda seen the racism coming but the author came highly recommended to me. Also weak plot. Booo
