This was such a good historical fiction with a tiny bit of spell use on the side. I couldn't put it down!
The world felt very real and I was transported to the time of Pharaohs and their court. I know only little of the time and how they lived, so this world and people who were living in it very so well created. I could see the love for the time from the author.
I really liked the MC and her friends. The mother and brother were so well written too. Every character was interesting in their own way and they gave so much of themselves to better what they thought was right. The character growth was lovely to see and especially the MC realising she needs to take control of her own fate.
The themes that were explored were awesome and well made. I especially loved the kind of coming of age feel that I got from the MC and the found family vibe with her and her friends.
The spell use was very little, so this really felt like historical fiction more than fantasy or anything like that. Great for anyone who loves that type of stuff!
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
