I can already feel the sands of Egypt brushing my face as I began to read the preview of this book. Egypt has always been one of those topics that has captured my heart and my imagination alike. So in reading this book I found the happy alliance of both mind and heart. The characters are engaging and so is the story so far, to me it seems like an unputdownable read. As a side note the cover is so fun with the beautiful scarab beetle it really invokes the Egypt theme.
