This was okay, it was more of a fast, easy read to be honest. It read as a middle-grade adventure mystery story, like a cross between a Geronimo Stilton book and an episode of Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated. The "twists" definitely could've been written with more thought because oftentimes they were either super predictable or came out of nowhere, adding nothing valuable to the plot besides surface-level shock value.

Romance-wise, I didn't feel that the FMC and MMC had genuine chemistry, just some crush-level sexual attraction. It felt a bit forced and unnatural at times. There were quite a few cliché phrases used when it came to the romantic scenes that reminded me of Character AI, but it wasn't so terrible that it made me cringe too much.

I was a tad disappointed though in the historical aspect as the publisher's blurb makes it seem as though you'd get to see a glimpse of Ancient Egyptian history. This book barely touches on it and is limited to just mentions of Ancient Egyptian artefacts e.g. Cleopatra's tomb, a few hieroglyphs and food. It would have been nice to have the characters interact with Egyptian characters to flesh out the setting more. I just think the publisher was definitely overreaching when they compared 'The Mummy' film to this.
