An enjoyable read, was just what was promised (an adventurous book for fans of The Mummy with some Romance sprinkled in). In some moments and especially in the beginning it lacked a proper pace; there was a lot of telling instead of showing and many plot points seemed to barely touch the surface, but seeing this book is marketed as young adults makes me forgive this. The chemistry between the main couple is brilliant and I loved to delve into the world of Ancient Egypt again. Am looking forward to begin the second part after this.
