A review by avigail
The Exodus Quest by Will Adams
4.0
Although I read the first book of the series almost 9 years ago and had this book on my TBR for 7.5 years, I was in the mood to read something about the middle east, something that had a little action and when I went to my bookcase with so many unread books it was the book I wanted to read. (Even though it is a book that might be good for a lot of the challenges I want to accomplish for 2018.)
The book this time is 3.5 stars (I wish once again that Goodreads could give us this option) because of the pacing, everything was rushed, maybe because of things that happen during the book and the characters are in danger.
With this series, you don't only learn about ancient Egypt and intersection was during ancient times and all the nations that passed through, but also you learn about nowadays Egypt, about the bureaucracy, the bribing mentality and how life is there.
Another issue that is shown in this book is about the religion and how it interacts with other fields like history, archaeology and even science. I loved how the chapters are written, the book has different plot lines that at the end all intertwine. Each chapter is divided into 4-5 parts with a little bit of each plot line. The sensation of reading those chapters is like watching a movie with different scenes.
I would suggest this book to people that like suspense, like archeological and historical information, if you are willing to read open-mindedly about religious conspiracy.
A quote I take from this book is "...And if not them, then perhaps the people of a future age. A more rational, enlightened age maybe they'd appreciate the wisdom of the walls, not hate and vilify it." (page 3-4).
