I thought I would love this because it's a Rick Riordan book, and I've been fascinated by ancient Egypt for a long time. But this book was kind of disappointing.

It felt way too long and I had a hard time getting into it. The world building was.. I don't know, lacking? Confusing? Also, the narration alternates between Carter and Sadie and I could never remember whose chapter I was in; their voices were not distinctive enough. I've never had that problem with a Rick Riordan book before, so I don't know what happened here.

I will be continuing with the series, so hopefully it picks up. But overall, I think it lacks a lot of the charm and fun of the PJO and HOO series.

4 hours 30 minutes - This is another great start to a mythological series by Rick Riordan. Not quite as good as the Percy Jackson books, but still has the same charm and adventure.
