DAMN. I'm not sure what to say.
Absolute The Mummy vibes but in a new and enticing. The Egyptian myth and fantasy was so rich and felt like getting a sweet treat and a nice reprieve from all the medieval fae fantasy. I fell into the story and as it gained momentum I was swallowing chapters whole.
This will very likely be a re-read for me. So many good bits and I'm sure I missed one of the many easter eggs.
***The ending was a giant cliff hanger and now I have to wait (checks imaginary watch) seven months for the sequel.
