Did not finish book.

I tried so hard to get into this. I typically LOVE Egyptian-based books and devour all the information but there was just something about this that had me going through it like molasses. I didn't find any of the characters overly enjoyable, and it was siding a little too much on the logistics of the Egyptian hierarchy than any major plot. 

The one thing I really appreciated with this is the use of historically accurate language, specifically the names of the places as used by the people of the time. It really helped to immerse the reader to the time, and avoid putting the modern day lens on a historic story. 

I do wish I could have enjoyed this more, but I can definitely see the allure of it. The cover is also stunning, so that helps! 

Thank you to Netgalley for this ARC!
