It took me a while to get started on the Kane Chronicles after reading both Percy Jackson series, and although I have been enjoying it, I have been reading it very slowly. Egyptian myth was something I really enjoyed studying in school, and like the Greek myth books, Riordan has done an excellent job of combining research with originality. The books are fun, and I like the sibling main characters. I will be continuing the series soon and hopefully, it won’t take me so long to read the next one.

The fifth <i>Amelia Peabody</i> novel which, in a change of setting, actually takes place in and around London rather than Egypt (even though it still deals with Egyptology).

There's also a 2001 film called 'The Mummy Returns': having now read this, I can see more than a few parallels between that movie and this! British museum? Check. Historical(ish) setting? Check. Husband and wife team? Check. Precocious son? Check. Attempted Egyptian ritual/curse? Check (yet again).

OK, so the novel doesn't have the undead wandering around, nor a hot-air balloon, but still enough ...
