A truly solid read by Ibáñez. That ending though! What!? How!? I need more!!!
Loved the plucky Inez, her cousin, her uncle, Abdullah his brother in law, and of course Whit.
Not often does a novel of this kind surprise me with a plot twist, but Ibáñez managed to do so. I’ll be reading more from her soon, I’m sure.
I loved the balance of ancient Egypt with a magical system that actually felt unique, with glimpses into the past.
