This is definitely not for kids, but I really enjoyed this romp through Egyptian mythology. No idea how true to the actual myths it was, but it probably doesn’t matter. It even came to a pretty satisfying and almost reverent conclusion, which honestly came as a surprise. Lots of potty humor and dick jokes. Still, fun stuff, and all done in a really matchingly fun cartoony art style. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Horus, son of Isis, vows bloody revenge on his Uncle Set for the murder and usurpation of his Pharaoh father. Based on elements from various versions of the famous Osiris myth, Hamish Steele has resurrected this fantastic story in all its symbolic and humorous glory.

Perhaps my biggest criticism is the "family tree" at the front. Family trees are typically designed in specific ways for legibility. Although a lot of Egyptian mythology includes gods being renamed and incest, I've seen a lot of people who successful get across the convoluted nature of the tree while making it understandable to read. The tree here is just a visual nightmare, and more useful as an aid for which god is named what. But like the book says, there's always google research if you're struggling here.
Overall, though, this is really cute. As someone who loves Egyptian mythology and has always loved mythology picture books but appreciates seeing the more adult elements of being left in, this was quite good. ( )
