Not only do they need to battle an ancient sorceress, but Whyborne is also battling his camel set on eating his every hat or fez. What they find is more than they bargained for. A summons from his best friend Christine have him and his lover Griffin leaving the relative safety of Widdershins and travel across the world. Whyborne leaves the country and braves the world - well Egypt in any case. The only area it struggled in was the conveyance of the last few chapters, keeping the visuals tight enough so we as readers don’t get lost. Overall, it was a quick read that had a simple but strong story. It was read well, but there were one or two moments of voices bleeding together, however it was quick enough to ignore. Based on the cover I was excited, we finally go to Egypt and finally get into characters that had not been explored. The character progression was, as always, spot on and I made me eager for more development. The story on its own is good, if not a simple twistless march forward. Especially towards the climax of the book, I was having difficulty placing characters in situations and understanding the beat by beat progress of events. Providing just enough descriptions of events, creatures or characteristics to help guide the readers, with out holding their hands. Through getting into this series, I have enjoyed the authors writing style. Descriptive Wording Lacked, good but not great
