There was so much potential in the topic, but it didn’t even scratch the surface. The information was often contradictory — for example, it provided three different origins for Ma’at (Geb/Nut, Ra, and Atum) without any clear explanation. There was no mention of Isfet or Set, or the concept of order from chaos. Thoth was mentioned, but not the fact that Ma’at was his consort.
Many important topics were only touched upon at a very high level. But what bothered me the most was the repetitive content — sometimes the exact same sentence would be repeated in the following paragraph. That completely killed my interest in the book. (Did no one notice that the same thing was just said moments ago?)
Also, the author repeatedly used phrases like “In this chapter we will explore…” — only for the “chapter” (that was not a chapter or even a section) to be just two paragraphs long. This happened throughout the book, giving the impression that text was being added just to increase page count, without adding any real value.
I was genuinely excited to deep dive into this book, but ended up feeling frustrated.
