The Mummy or Ramses the Damned by Anne Rice

4.0

I really adored this book. Masterful writing tied with an extremely suspenseful story full of twists and turns that defied my expectations. The characters were varied and so colourful and diverse. It's a very exciting, passionate read, with interesting philosophical undertones. It left me thinking for some time after I put it down. By the end of it you feel just as exhausted as the characters.

I think the only thing preventing me from giving a full five stars was the fact that while the characters were amazing and had a lot of depth, there was just something about them that made me feel they weren't quite fully formed yet. They seemed too exaggerated in their traits. Perhaps that's part of the beauty of the writing, but it's not something I particularly cared for.
