I think it's time to take a break from this series. I'm curious to see what happens with Ramses and Nefret, but I found myself skipping paragraph upon paragraph in this book. Rambling, rambling, rambling. I get tired of Elizabeth Peters talking about how handsome Emerson is and how well his muscular form is shown and how all the women fall at his feet... I get it. He's hot. ENOUGH ALREADY!
I'm also tired of being referred to as the "ignorant reader" or "less-intelligent reader". I'm not an archeologist, but I'm also not a complete idiot either... this book just felt like the same song, same verse, a little bit louder and a little bit worse... someone is kidnapped, then rescued, people die, they discover their mysterious enemy through some random (borderline ridiculous) clues, and all is well in the end.

Sorry... I just think I've read too many of these too close together. Like I said, time for a break from this series...
