Not the most literary of novels out there but it's always a fun read. Over a year later after having first read it and even knowing what happened I really enjoyed it :)

khá thích những ý tưởng của tác giả tạo nên, đồng thời liên hệ với các sự kiện và nhân vật có thật
trận chiến ở cuối truyện khá xàm và không hấp dẫn như ở giữa truyện
dark mysterious fast-paced

I am torn. I almost gave this 4 stars, so I guess I would rank it a 3.5 stars. It is a really fun read, and great for male or female readers. There is no romance like most YA, for it has a twin brother and sister as the main characters.

I miss magical world! Yaaaaas. Mythology revived. feeling bad because Bastet is evil here while from Rick Riordan's she is not so.

I definitely remembered this book differently as a kid.

I loved this book. I just passed this on to my 10 year old niece. Hopefully she will like it as much as I did.
adventurous fast-paced

lararoper's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH

DNF @ pg 194/375

Im someone who needs the characters to push the story along, Sophie and Josh did not. They just went along with whatever was happening. Halfway through the book, you think they would make at least one decision. No, not really.

I found myself trying to push through this book, but it put me into a reading slump. I really wanted this book to be fun, but ya lost me.

Hopefully the farther into the series it would get better. Maybe someday I'll continue, maybe...
