This was my 23rd book finished in 2024.
This book was alright; it was better than the previous HH books I read. I've been in a real Ancient Egyptian mood after watching The Mummy, so this fitted the bill.
Over all, I'd say it was interesting and engaging, but there were near-constant quizzes, a few typos, and the author repeated himself on about three occasions. I guess I'm saying it could have done with a couple more proof-reads. There also seemed to be more drawings than usual, which ended up feeling like filler for the lack of text.
Overall, good and not dull in any places.
