This book saved me from a rather lengthy and difficult reading slump - again. Simply, Rick can enchant me even as an adult, but really. For some reason, I've been really hooked on Egyptian mythology/culture lately, so I chose this book completely by accident, but I didn't mind, I missed the Kane family already.
Sadie was my favorite, obviously, - talk about at people - but Carter also grew very close to my heart. They are both good at something else, they have different feelings and personalities that make them colorful. These two have come - and will continue to have - an extremely long and bumpy road, but I believe that together they will be able to do it. If we talk about the gods, Bast is definitely my favorite (although in real life I prefer Sakhmet) she just sacrificed so much for the Kane family that it's incredible, she deserves so much rest.
The plot immediately pulled me in, it was easy to understand and easy to identify with, it didn't require any background knowledge, because it gives you all the information you need over time. The narration - because that's the only way I can call it - was funny and fluid, just to the right degree. The pace didn't feel forced or fast anywhere. In short, I really liked this book and can't wait to continue.
I recommend it to those who love Egyptian mythology, but want something funnier to read, who have not lost the fun of life and still want a good adventure deep in their soul.
