A cinematic book if ever there was one. These Millions of Years gives us a look at Egypt that was both fascinating and terrifying.
From the richest of the rich to the poorest of the poor we see all of Egypt, her glory and her failures.
A group of seemingly random people on tour in Egypt find their pasts and futures intertwined from the very beginning.
Our characters each have their reasons for making this journey, the physical and the emotional, seeing it all fall into place was an extraordinary experience.
The last few pages, seeing who ended where, it was gratifying to say the least.
There's so much more than meets the eye to this one, every time I thought I knew what was going to happen I was surprised, in a good way.
If I had to wrap this into one sentence I'd say breathtaking visuals that had me walking along the Nile and among the pyramids, feeling transported back to the days of Pharaoh while living in a modern world.
If I could give this one 4.5 stars I would. Thank you NetGalley for providing a copy of this e-book in exchange for an honest review.
I've been a lover of Egypt and their culture since I was a child and my Grandma showed me a book on King Tut, reading this kind of book, I'd give anything to be able to have a conversation with her about it, she would have loved every moment, the visuals would have taken her to the Pyramids and back.
