The first time I read this book, I got about ten pages in and gave up. I left it on my shelf for a week before I decide to give it another go. And I'm so thankful I did! I have now read this book too many times to count. I've read it into the wee hours of the night and hated my life the next day, but it is so worth it.

I know that this review probably won't even come close to giving this book justice. So don't take my word for it (or anyone elses), on whether it is good or bad. This book really is too unique to base your opinion off of anyone elses. My advice, just read and find out for yourself. But I will bet you won't regret it.

Now, I won't go into a retelling of the story because it is definitely one you should read for yourself. I will however go into some details about what made it amazing.

Isadora is one of the best main characters I've ever seen. She's like a typical teenager, moody and hates her parents, but she's also rather unique (she's an Egyptian and a child of gods for one). Her personality has the right amount of snark that will not only make you love her, but wish to be as witty as she is! She's relatable and was very easy to connect with. She also likes interior design and has an obsession with the stars, which is rather unique for her punk-rock, sass master, attitude. I just thought she was very well designed.

This book has a very interesting take when it comes to Egyptian mythology. Kiersten White did so much better with putting gods and culture in our present world than Rick Riordan did with his Kane Chronicles. Trust me, that world building is worth the read.

At the beginning of each chapter, Isadora, starts us off with a short little retelling of an Egyptian myth. What made this so great was her personality was clearly seen in the retelling. I don't know how many times it left me laughing or staring at the page in awe. The gods (and really all the characters) had amazing personalities and I loved the way the world applied to ours. It was just so well done!

This book was written with such beauty and grace. It's words left me breathless and stunned. Pretty sure my heart broke and reformed a thousands times throughout its pages. Kiersten White never ceases to amaze me.

Trust me, this book is definitely worth the read. So go! Be free my children! and read the beauty contained in its glorious pages
