Definitely best read in order so I am glad I bought the combined trilogy. Excellent character development and language usage, though the kindle editors could have done a better job. Don't let the bad editing put you off. Just read over the errors as the sentence should be or as it makes sense to you. One error that bothered me but would be unknown to most Western readers involves the description of the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, Russia. I recently spent 4 years in Russia with nearly a month in St. Petersburg. If you ever get the chance to go there DO! It's a beautiful city with centuries of European and Russian history including the home of the first Russian naval academy. I walked near the Hermitage nearly every day and, yes, it is so huge it would take at least a week, if not more, to see all of the exhibits and some of them are truly incredible! However, as of 2010 it was definitely not white and gold but bright aqua!! As an adult reader and former middle school teacher I found this series highly entertaining (enough to make it hard to put down) and I learned a great deal about the Egyptian gods, their roles, and how they fit in the lives of ancient Egyptians, as well as interesting facts about modern places in Egypt and elsewhere all while enjoying a well done great read! I also love the rather unique alternating point of view recorded journaling between Sadie and Carter format. A great way to encourage kids to journal their own experiences, either written or recorded. You never know when a life experience may become a jumping point for a future book and it's nice to have that experience described and documented at the time when it's fresh in your memory! I highly recommend the books for advanced upper elementary through adult readers.
