Do you like messed up dramas? Do you like stories about flawed characters? Do you like stories with incredibly beautiful art and hot characters? Then this is the series for you!

Seriously, this is an incredible series. I know its not finished yet, but I trust with my entire soul that the end will do the story and characters justice. It has been very, very, VERY long since I've last read a story this fantastically well written. I always thought ancient myths would make great soap opera's and this just proves it, this has to be one of the best drama's I've ever read. And it weaves ancient Egyptian myth so expertly, its amazing, as someone who has studied it, I can guarantee a lot of is accurate and faithful to the myths. The story itself is a little complicated at times, but once it all comes together you will find yourself in awe of how well thought out it is. I literally had to stop several times while reading it just process my feelings and thoughts as the revelations because it made so much sense, and it heightened everybody's characters intensely so, I was blown away.
I cannot express how amazing this story is without spoiling its twists, because they are that good, its better you go in blind.

That being said, there are some things that should noted. The most obvious is that there is two rape scenes in this. Because the version uploaded here is the 18+ version, it shows it unlike the 16+ version (which I believe only shows parts/implies it), but I still wouldn't say even the 18+ goes into *that* much detail. Its there, its warns you at the start of the chapter, so its up to you whether you can stomach it being there.
The second I guess would be the characters, pretty much no one in this innocent or a particularly good person, HOWEVER, in my opinion, thats what makes them so great. Despite being gods, they are very very very flawed, just like humans. Its even a major theme of the story, that the gods are just as flawed as the humans they rule over. They are petty, hold grudges, cruel, selfish, possessive beings. And I would say all of them act in a way that makes sense (doesn't necessarily mean rational, just that the way they act makes sense as their established flawed characters).

All that being said, this is a series not to sleep on, its well worth the read. Be careful tho or you'll end up like me; staying up until 3am to binge read it because its so interesting and hard to stop, the night before an exam (/TДT)/
