So it’s a well-known fact that I love middle grade and mythology. Reincarnated gods in the modern world is one of the best ideas ever, in my opinion. I love pretty much all of it. I have to admit though, Egyptology has never been my thing. I like the Greek gods and the Celts. I identify with the Egyptian reverence for the black cat, but otherwise my mythological interest lean more Western. I don’t know if this is why I’ve had a hard time enjoying either Cleopatra book I’ve read this year or what. My main issue with this one is it’s written very immaturely. It’s less middle-grade, more children’s, in my opinion (and yes, there is a difference). So I stopped reading this one at 10%. It wasn’t for me, and reading it was starting to feel like getting teeth pulled. Unfortunately, this one gets added to my DNF pile.
