This was a delightful read. Very 1930s/1940s adventure genre. If you like the Brandon Fraser The Mummy movie, this book echoes it wonderfully. And the female protagonist! Ach, Mina is the kind of heroine I want to grow up to be. Compassionate, competent, practical, witty. He describes her at some point as having a “mind like a scalpel.” *hearts* right from the beginning he sees and values her competency. And while he wants to protect her, he recognizes they are stronger as a team. I loved everything about this book and her writing.
