As with book 1, I found the pace was slowed and interrupted when the same scene was told from a couple of different characters&#8217; viewpoints. I could accept a few sentences to re-tell then pick up the action with the next character, but I found the re-telling of the same scene slowed things down too much. Probably only happened 2 or 3 times but enough to be a distraction. Another thing that prevents me giving 5 stars is the use of ancient terms for the gods and for upper and lower Egypt. I totally accept this is for authenticity. But the problem with reading on a Kindle rather than a paperback is it&#8217;s not straightforward to flick back to the beginning and check the author&#8217;s note for the explanation of the ancient vs Greek names. So, other than Heru, who I grasped was Horus, I struggled with the names of gods. I grasped that Waset was Thebes and Men-Nefer Memphis, but I&#8217;m sorry to say I&#8217;m not a good enough student of Egyptology to have remembered the others &#8211; so I found this annoying. A distraction in an otherwise very well written and believable tale.<\/p>\n<p>Amazon Customer<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>3.0 out of 5 stars<\/em><\/p>\n<p>hree Stars<\/p>\n<p>Interesting read.<\/p>\n<p>Rebecca LeClair<\/p>\n<p><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amazon Reviews 5.0 out of 5 stars The second volume of an excellent series.
