Time to meet the gods of ancient Egypt! Sadie and Carter's father releases these ancient gods from the Rosetta Stone. One of them, Set, is determined to throw the world into chaos. Sadie and Carter must stop him before it's too late.
- I love ancient Egypt and learning about the gods and ways of life. The book was peppered with facts and accurate but modern interpretations and it was so much fun recognising figures I've read and learned about since childhood. My favourites were Bast, Sobek and Anubis.
- The book is told through the format of recordings made by Sadie and Carter and the perspective switches every few chapters. I found the format engaging and it would probably be easy to follow and enjoy for younger readers (the intended audience).
- The magic was very fun and well portrayed. The House of Life was really interesting and I hope we learn more about it in the next book.
An excellent read for kids (or adults) who enjoy mythology, ancient Egypt and lots of action and adventure.
