⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

no way it ends like this!!!! ugh i need to get the second one right now.

loved the setting, and i read it so fast - kept me entertained the whole time, and i totally didn’t see some of the twists coming. really liked olivera as a main character, especially in the time period the book is set in (because i would have wanted to wear pants too girl).

Ibanez does a great job of recreating what Egypt was like in the early period of Western exploration/archeological digging. Inez is a young girl trying to find her way without a chaperone or society's restraints. The last third of the book really picked up, with a cliffhanger ending.
