The Oracle's Tale: Nemty & The Serpent's Den
Aiyah is a demigoddess - the only daughter of the recently named Master of Horse, servant of the Pharaoh of the 25th Dynasty of Egypt and the powerful Oracle Goddess Wadjet. Though she believed her mother to be mortal (and long dead) Aiyah soon learns that she's inherited her mother's powers of sight - and the scheming gods of ancient Egypt & Kush know it too. When Aiyah attempts to save the servants that falcon god Nemty forces to steal the pharaoh's treasures, Aiyah is caught in his nest of lies, murder, and deceit. Will Aiyah be able to outwit the gods without anyone in pharaoh's palace discovering her secret? Or cause the fall of an empire?

Read my full glowing review over at The Litt Librarian. You know you want to https://thelittlibrarian.wixsite.com/...
Since being introduced to Sekhmet and the Anubis Trials, I've read about ten unrelated books, and I couldn't take my mind off Aiyah's journey. So I broke down and bought the sequel.
The story continues from the last events in Book 1. We see the original loving, clueless, and devious characters and some new faces and trials. Laster did better with her character development and world-building. Aiyah has become stronger and wiser in dealing with the Gods and their tricks. Especially with Set, the God of Chaos. Or maybe the most considerable character development comes from Set himself.
I love how this world and tale are shaping. I love the imagery she creates, peppered with historical realism. As I mentioned, we never hear about Egyptian mythology as much as Greek and Norse, so this is a welcoming air towards curiosity of lore.
5-stars and it's not a sophomore slump!
