I love the idea of the plot and setting, I have a big interest in Ancient Egypt and Egyptian mythology so it sounded perfect for me! I did also appreciate the effort in acknowledging the archaeology field's privilege and exploitative opportunity that came from colonization and imperialism.
The dialogue was a bit cringe with constant fighting and melodrama in the beginning, I warmed up to the dialogue but it could still be cringey and forced at times. I eventually learned to ignore it and focus on the overall plot š Iāll be happy to leave the use of āoh godsā to fantasy novels (or historical novels where the characters actually believe in many gods, not when itās coming from two white New York WASPs), I also got tired of the constant gads/egads.
