The Speaker is corrupt, the Oracle has been betrayed...and I need to get my hands on the sequel. Slightly reminiscent of Megan Whalen Turner's The Thief in terms of alternate mythology, gods who speak to the characters, and intrigue. Hard to put down, and it will make you grateful for every drop of water you have access to.

I read the French translation of this one back when every Fantasy YA book published in Quebec had an Egyptian flavour.

It was my second read through. The first time I read the Polish translation but I've forgotten everything as I grew older. After 7 years I decided to continue with the series and refresh my memory of the first volume. Conclusions? I liked it a lot. It was an easy and enjoyable read. There were moment when I couldn't quite imagine the setting but I guess it's just the language barrier (I've re-read it in English). I'm really exited to finally find out what happens in the second and the third volume. I like Mirany and all the other characters but I hope to explore their relationship even more. I recommend it for people who are looking for an easy and fast-paced story :)
