Review:
This was absolutely delightful.
I had a lot of fun reading this book; it's charming, light and exciting. I loved the historical setting of Egypt, loved all the archaeology stuff and the characters were wonderful. I especially loved the main character, and her determination and intelligence.
For someone like me who loves adventure books, maybe especially historical ones, and who loves an intriguing mystery that isn't too gorey or violent, but more on the cosy side, this was just fantastic. It was exactly what I was in the mood for when I picked this up, and so I had a great time getting engrossed in the story and going on this journey with the characters.
This is just fun, light and entertaining, and I'm super excited to keep reading this series (there are twenty in total, so lots to look forward to)!
