Finished on 8/19/15. I was all excited when I found this at the library because Egypt, but it was ultimately pretty disappointing, the sort of YA that would seem pretty good to a kid but doesn't translate well for an adult. The heroine is kind of whiny, she makes some questionably rash decisions because apparently there was a god urging her on? And then she whined a while longer. Even though other gods in the Egyptian pantheon were mentioned, I felt like the Amun worship was just sort of a foil for a Christian mindset, which just isn't accurate. And then there was a convenient attractive man at the end. Anyway, it's probably fine for a starter book on Egypt - I did like the setting, the river, the descriptions of the home - but not really worth an adult picking up.
