I went into this with a doubtful mind. I really did not know if I was going to love it, hate it or just be mildly disinterested halfway through. Other reviews are a mixed bag.

I think I have fallen in between a - really like it, and a love it. So I'm giving 3.5 stars. First off, I love the cover, the old age look, the feel of the paper...it's really nice and pleasing. I did not like how big the print was, it makes me feel like I'm reading a book I've grown out of. But that's just me.

I actually didn't hate Isadora despite all her lacking qualities, the selfishness, the jealousy...I actually felt for her and what she was going through. Her mother Isis, a Goddess of motherhood, childbirth, fertility...you name it...has had hundreds of babies. How can Isadora really know whether she's loved for her or for her worship of her parents and thus keeping them alive/ present. And I do understand her anger at her mother's pregnancy, her mam had a baby every 20 years,she should have had 20 years with her mother and instead suddenly that was no more. The rug was pulled from her feet and of course by the end we know that the love was real on both sides and it's almost happy families.

I'm a lot more familiar with the Greek and Roman Gods (Hello Star Crossed) then I am with the Egyptian. But that doesn't mean I don't love anything to do with them...I find every god and their story really interesting, I wish there had been more of an insight into all the Gods named then just her parents.

And Ry, lovely Ry...I actually had to warm to him. I expected he had an ulterior motive and I suspected him to be something more than he was and when I heard he was Greek...I clicked it with his lovely looks, the fawning girls and his beautiful mother. He couldn't be the son of anyone else.

This book would do well as a series in my opinion. I actually thought it was and now I'm sad! I'd love to be able to return to Isadora, Ry, Taylor, Sirius and Isis. Can I have another please?
