Malthus has has a policy about women, he loves them and leaves them, but when one woman leaves him she intrigues him and when their paths cross again he's compelled to find out more about Calliope, who hates soul reapers and is determined to get her way, without his help.Meanwhile Malthus is still trying to find out why and how his brother died and was dismembered. He's also trying to resist her, she's not what he usually goes for and she doesn't let him away with anything, he has to step up to the plate to try to match her and this makes him more interested.There are parts of this that are quite predictable but with the underworld gods I'd also like to see a few more of the other gods around or why they disappeared. This is a different series because it relies more on egyptian mythology than greco-roman and it has me interested in what's going to happen next. I found this to be the best of the three so far and look forward to what's going to happen next
