Week 11 Reviews: Reignited, Reawakened

From Goodreads:

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Tiger’s Curse series and Reawakened comes a novella full of celestial marvel, passion, betrayal, and evil that will grow to reign over humanity forever.

Before Lily and Amon met, before the cosmos were in chaos and needed three brave brothers to fight off evil, there were four siblings who helped rule the earth.

Each sibling had a special gift. Osiris, the god of agriculture, helped mortals to grow and thrive in their natural environment. Isis, the goddess of creation, fostered health and wellness. Nephthys, the seer, was able to keep the balance between all living beings and the universe. But Seth, the youngest sibling, was left without any special powers. The Waters of Chaos, which granted each god's talent, were running dry, and Seth was paying the price.

As time passed, however, Seth's determination and willfulness resulted in a very special gift, one that should have granted him the ability to enact wondrous change. But Seth's competitive childhood gave him a heart so cold and vacant that instead, his gift brought about great evil.

Seth was now the god of unmaking, the creator of disorder and destruction. And he was ready to seek his revenge, dominating all who got in his way.

From Goodreads:

From Colleen Houck, New York Times bestselling author of The Tiger's Curse, comes an epic Egyptian-inspired adventure about two star-crossed teens who must battle mythical forces and ancient curses on a journey with more twists and turns than the Nile itself.

 

When seventeen-year-old Lilliana Young enters the Metropolitan Museum of Art one morning during spring break, the last thing she expects to find is a live Egyptian prince with godlike powers, who has been reawakened after a thousand years of mummification. And she really can't imagine being chosen to aid him in an epic quest that will lead them across the globe. But fate has taken hold of Lily, and she, along with her sun prince, Amon, must travel to the Valley of the Kings, raise his brothers, and stop an evil, shape-shifting god named Seth from taking over the world.

My Review:
Oh, these were really great reads! I've read about half of her published books, and I think this series is the only one that I haven't picked up yet. An because I got prompted to, I thought why not pick it up now? And I'm glad I did, they were really great reads! 

Reignited was a really great story, it was more of a short novel then a novella, and it was a fantastic introduction to the series! I don't know much about the Egyptian gods, but getting their story as it is in this world was really great! 

To find someone who used to be a mummy, walking around and talking? Yeah, that's pretty shocking. But being pulled into this adventure, Lily was pretty brave, because boy, was this a pretty daunting task that they were up against!

A lot happened in Reawakened, but it's only the first full length book in a 3 book series, and I'm really excited to see where things go from here! I had a great time with these characters and this world, and I can't wait to read more! 

I had a fantastic time reading these books and I can't wait to carry one!
