- Reading
- Read the adventure together, then pause over the pantheon family tree and glossary; these can help you explore the cultural context separately from the mythic plot.
- Themes
- Power and succession: Isis seeks to reclaim Egypt's throne for her infant son Horus against Seth's will. The conflict makes questions of power and succession part of the adventure, but its deeper treatment is unclear.
- Egyptian mythology and context: A nonfiction section provides cultural and historical context, with a family tree of the Egyptian pantheon, photographs and a glossary. This section is presented as informational material alongside the fictional adventure.
- Worth knowing
- The central predicament includes substantial losses and a struggle against a usurper; consider whether those themes suit your reader at this point.
