I took way too long to read this book.

I felt like it started off slow, with a steady pace. I was going steady until he was at the Crystal Shop, where he worked and saved up for his trip.

Then after that I felt sleepy!

Not once not twice but many times. Naturally I postponed reading it.

And it all changed when he entered the Al-Fayoum Oasis. I loved it after that, there was a nice romance, philosophy and plot twist, I truly didn’t expect that!

It was definitely worth my money :)
