Very enjoyable read. Love the split timeline reveals. Some of the modern stuff was a bit cheesy, but I was having fun. Great character writing, every sentence the husband said I disliked him more. I wish we got to know more about Eliza and Nelle. I would definitely read a follow up to this story.

It took me a bit to get used to the manga-style of art, almost like the color feels out of place. Story was good, enjoyed the characters. Parts felt too quick, glossed over, or lacking some detail. Perhaps it will get worked out in a sequel, since they left the door open.

Fior art always on point. I found the romance to be charming and believable. I never knew about how Egyptians viewed the past and future, that was a fun detail in the story. I already want to read it again.
