I liked the use of egyptology throughout - it's genuinely fascinating and the link to the work of death doulas drives the trajectory of the main character. Some of the plot is fairly farfetched and given the gravity of what happens to some of the characters, their emotional reactions seem oddly muted, perhaps beacuse it's written in the first person. It's relatively slow paced but well written overall.
