Que libro tan hijueputamente adictivo padre, siento que si le ví flaws, primero que todo, no sé si es cosa mía pero siempre me fijo demasiado en los libros en esas cosas desconcertantes que meten en el plot romántico para hacerlo más adictivo pero que si lo piensas no tiene sentido realmente y eso me choca pero de igual manera logra atraparme siempre y lo termino disfrutando entonces tampoco lo voy a castigar mucho, que increíble lo adictivo que es el libro, el tema es muy interesante y le tengo que dar mucho crédito por el hecho de que cada página te deja queriendo más, no hay un solo punto del libro en el que no estés on the edge, queriendo seguir, si encontré algunos plt twists y cosas así un poco predecibles o más bien, comunes? No se, flojos? Igualmente fue increíble y en ninguna página me aburrí, en mi opinión eso es algo loquisimo de lograr, sobretodo con libros como este, cargados de dumps de información e historia, pero me encantó, no pensé que me iba a interesar tanto la parte histórica, me gusta como conecto Inez con la historia de Cleopatra y todo el problema de Egipto con el colonialismo, me gustó su personaje y me gustó el toque de esa identidad o vida de aristócrata y como chocaron los dos mundos tan diferentes, como lo mostraron, ostia el final eso sí no me lo esperaba estoy muy molesta y también la muerte de Elvira me impacto de verdad quedé loca no me esperé eso, pero bueno respecto a lo que dije de que algunos plots estaban como flojos creo que es más la manera de la historia de mostrar la ingenuidad de Inez, me refiero a primero descubrir a su tío como el malo después no después su mama y todas esas vueltas. En fin me pareció muy bueno y creo que el punto más fuerte, que hasta te hace ignorar por completo cualquier debilidad que puedo tener el libro es eso, que siempre te tiene completamente on the edge, nunca aburrido.
The book isn't grabbing me, and even reading ahead, I am not really interested in the story. It's part 1 of a duology, where I don't see myself wanting to even start book 2.

Wirklich schönes Buch. Ich war wirklich begeistert von der ganzen Mythologie und dem Welten Aufbau.
Das Ende war echt Herz zerbrechen aber auch gut geschrieben.
Zugegebenermaßen habe ich am Anfang die chemistry zwischen Inez und With überhaupt nicht gefühlt. Das ging dann gegen Ende des Buches wesentlich besser.
Spice: none

Complicated
I've seen this marketed a lot as YA, but honestly think it fits better into the Adult category - not because of any particular content warnings, but just the way that the characters and situations were written. Even though Inez is a very naïve 19-year-old, the way the story itself flowed felt much more Adult than YA - maybe it was the pacing? the characterisations? I'm not sure, honestly.
Overall, I did enjoy reading this, but felt that the pacing was overly slow - partly my annoyance with this could have been that I'd been led to believe it was a standalone... but even then, there was very little sense of excitement or things needing to be done quickly (until the very last quarter of the book). I also struggled to properly connect with any of the characters or care about what they were going through. I did want to solve the ongoing mystery, but wasn't too fussed about how it happened.
All in all, I think this was fine, but I'm not sure that I will be lining up to read book 2.

Been staring at the wall for 5 minutes now. That quite literally came out of nowhere to me. I was expecting his betrayal from the first chapter but somehow it still caught me completely off guard?? I literally READ that line on tik tok and just blocked it out??
On a positive note, I loved loved loved the setting in Egypt and found the story to be so intriguing that I couldn’t put it down. As an ancient history student the plot and being able to follow all the historical facts with extra knowledge had me ecstatic. Who doesn’t love to read about their exam material? It also reignited my want for an archeology degree so! The Egypt + archaeology combo will ALWAYS get me.
And don’t even get me started on the tension
