I'm very sad that I didn't love this book. 
 Don't get me wrong I liked this for many reasons: 
 1. The characters felt very real and flawed but at the same time very lovable Especially Portia who was very interesting 
 2. The sister relationship 
 Portia and Alex's relationship was very well executed although sometimes I felt like we didn't get much from them ( and felt like Portia was very harsh on her sister) 
 3. Great book about Mythology and history 
 The idea was unique and very well researched and even if a person had 0 knowledge of Egyptian mythology would enjoy the book. 
 But this being said I feel like there were many points that weakened the book in my opinion: 
 1. The plot was very slow 
 I felt like there was nothing happening until 55% of the book which really throws me off and I debated dnfing it until then (But honestly I'm glad that I did continue because after that it was amazing) 
 2. Got really confusing sometimes 
 I sometimes felt like there were so many side characters that I got confused and didn't know who is who or what was happening most of the time. 
 I think if the first half was faster I'd have given this book 4 stars But all of this being said I see that good potential for the sequel to be action packed and I probably will read it.
