When reading The Apprentice Of The Dead, I could tell that Egypt is a passion of Laura Greenwood. She transports us into a vivid, parallel Egyptian London where Ani is getting ready for the Day Of Choosing. When she's Blessed by an adorable jackal, the symbol of Anubis, she starts her journey in becoming a priestess for his temple. I really enjoyed some of the more technical scenes where Ani was dealing with her mummification duties and uncovering a nefarious operation. The story moves at a great pace with a lot of intricate details that make the world come alive. It's a unique setting done justice by great writing, likeable characters, and Laura's knowledge of Ancient Egypt. I'll be waiting on the edge of my seat for the rest of the series. - Arizona Tape, USA Today Bestselling Author
