Excellent, I'll be able to start when I get it too :) and if anyone else wants to read feel free to jump in!
Oh man, a whole new set of gods to keep straight..I don't know how he keeps everything together lol

That's the scary part I'm not much further in...I feel like there are going to be 20,000 more to remember lol

I don't think I am every going to like anything he writes better than them lol but this is very interesting. I took an ancient Egyptian class in college and I keep going OH I KNOW THAT! All the hieroglyphs and statues are always fascinating

I agree. I felt like it all was kinda slow at first but now it's rocking. I would like to more though about the conflict between gods and magicians, and their families involvement, but maybe all in good time?
Oh good! Now I can ask you if you think Zia is really going to be an enemy when they meet again??? I'm not buying it!

Something about Bast doesn't seem right to me, but I still like her. And I think Zia will help them somewhere along the line again.

As far as Bast, they are gods...and they seem to be along the same lines as the Greek and Roman...Zia did refer to her as a demon, and that she is trained to kill gods. So maybe, like the other series, Egyptian gods are just as, what is the word I am looking for...shifty?
I think I'm only a couple chapters ahead, shifty might be the word I'd used. Just something about her the rubs me the wrong way but at the time she seems to care about the them, I hope she turns out to be good and not bad.

I'm hoping that's the case, but like you said, these gods I don't know what to think sometimes lol
did you?!?!? lol i havent had a lot of time to read today or last night but tonight I'm sure I'll finish a huge chunk

I just finished the scene where Carter is on the plane and had the dream about the red pyramid....took long enough to get to the title of the book...but it seemed like Set knew he was there?!?!

Oh I got that, big red dude= big red pyramid lol but it just took forever to find said "red pyramid" that it is titled for.
And I'm catching a theme in his books, Gods + Mortal spawns = must work together to save world. Got it. Although I thought Thoth mentioning Hermes was funny.

YES! I chuckled at that reference too. He should do a cross over book between series, that would be interesting


The cliffhanger I don't hate him for......I hate him for making me wait til OCTOBER to find out what happens!
I just passed the river scene....I am deeply saddened by Bast...
not. cool.

haha yeah...I hate having to wait until October too!!!! ugh!!! why so late in the year?!
I didn't think it was going to work at first because they were so different and only spent....what 14 days together since they were 6? But they have surprised me.

I wish I haven't supper busy at work, or I'd have this first one done by now!!! only 50 more pages left!
