Evolution of a goddess
The evolution of a goddess. Sekhmet the goddess of revenge was trapped for hundreds of years. She beloved her father Ra had betrayed her and left her trapped within the stone Sphinxes as guardian of the dead. Nothing anyone tried could free her and so she was left to watch the world change and time pass her by. Until one day a man comes and releases her. Now she has a choice for freedom has a price enact the revenge she’s dreamt of for so long and be trapped forever as a Sphinx or be free?
I enjoyed this story and the evolution of Sekhmet. She’s not defined by the parameters of her creation but by her desires and what type of person she wishes to be. The love story between her and Fet is sweet with a touch of heat. And for consistency we have Ma’at plotting in the background for the good of all. A quick enjoyable read.

Forgotten Gods Book 2
Two sides to every coin. The story of Sekhmet, the goddess of vengeance and cursed as a sphinx, & Fetket, a minor god and servant of her father Ra. I read this in a boxset collection of the Forgotten Gods: Origins of Egypt and loved how put together this story is. Although fiction and placed in modern times with the hypothesis that the Egyptian Empire did not fall, it was an amazing story that brings about patience and forgiveness.

Great story
This was a great story. I love reading mythology retelling stories. I really enjoyed the struggles that Sekhmet went through of choosing vengeance or a chance at love. I enjoyed her interactions with Fet. I am looking forward to reading more in this series.
