I would give this a 3.5 so I rounded up for reviews. I really love Egyptian history and mythology, so I was excited for this one. I think he adventure parts were well done, but there wasn’t much beyond the adventure scenes which made it lack substance for me. I did like the mythology woven into the story. The main character Hui had potential, but I felt like there wasn’t enough character development. Hui, his brother Qen, and their good from Kyky start off this book on an adventure looking for the Ka Stone for the glory of Egypt. This adventure starts Hui on a path he could have never have imagined full of surprises, hardship, and adventure. I did find a lot of the plot pretty predictable, but the story moved along at a good speed and it was very adventurous. I haven’t read the rest of this series and I did not think that I was missing anything because of that.
