5/25/2023 0 Comments Undeadly by Michele VailIt's one of my weak spots and it's so rare to find a good book that features Egyptian gods in contemporary setting and with an interesting back-story. The atmosphere had Hogwarts feel although with private room and personal servant you can't say Molly is just one of the crowd like Harry Potter.Another thing that tipped the scales and made me enjoy Undeadly was huge amount of Egyptian mythology used. And I especially loved Nekyia Academy, private academy, which Molly ends up attending. In an alternate version of Earth where necromancy is not just in fiction, we follow Molly as she struggles with her gift and tries to accept it. But although at first she was immensely annoying, Molly and her attitude grew on me and the urge to strangle her or yell at her that she is too stupid to live lessened as the world Michele Vail invented pulled me in.One of the things that I liked is a setting. She used phrases 'like', 'suckitude', 'crap' and other words that authors use to badly imitate teenage lingo. Undeadly is one of those books that when you look back in retrospective makes you wonder: why the hell did I like it? Especially since just a glance at the first sentence reminds me how horrible first person point-of-view narration by Molly was.
