The Soul of the World by Joshua Silverman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Authors such as Joshua Silverman make me envious because I know I will never have the skills to create an out of body experience like he has done with Portara. He has excellent writing skills and his imagination will strike wonder in the worst of readers.
As I passed from the first book to the second, I couldn’t wait to be involved with the characters who by now were real people to me. While The Soul of the World can be read as a stand alone (although you won’t enjoy it as much) there are some questions that are better answered if you read the series in sequence. When you get to the last chapter you get the feeling that more is developing and I can’t wait for the third book.
Engaging, entertaining and it offered me an escape on my daily commute. What more could I ask for? Must read.

The Soul of the World (Legends of Amun Ra #2) by Joshua Silverman @jg_silverman
The announcement of Cadmus’ elimination booms over the intercom. Well, at least I don’t have to worry about a vengeful brother.
The dust and debris settle from the crumbled wall. Find Kesi. Kem trots towards the end of the path. Before he gets there, he sees a shadow along the wall.
Dio turns the corner and spots him. She’s already throwing blue spheres before he knows what happened.
Kem hits the floor hard, dodging the first two. Dio hurls more at him.
His heart beats like a jackhammer in his chest. He is covered in dirt and sand. Kem swerves left, then right, ducking from a shot aimed at his head. He looks back at Dio, who walks with determination, shooting at him. Will she not let up a little? Got to slow her down.

The Soul of the World (Legends of Amun Ra #2) by Joshua Silverman
The ancient powers lost to Potara have returned. The Brotherhood of the Black Rose rises to bring Thoth into disorder. And, while the Brotherhood reclaims their power, chaos reigns among the survivors. Six individuals have emerged from the aftermath struggling for control over their lives and a divided land. Kem and Shirin, who abolished the five thousand year reign of the Amun Priests, rule from the golden throne of the Oracle’s Chair in the Hall of the Nine. Dio and Axios struggle to piece together a resistance worthy to challenge the ancient magic which resides in the Great Temple of Amun, and Leoros and Atlantia try to remain true to their hearts and their cause despite tragedy.
But when the Book of Breathings is discovered, the path to immortality is revealed. Leoros and Kem race to capture the Soul of the World unaware of the challenges awaiting them. This time, the gods themselves will intervene.
In a tale where boys become men and girls become women, where treachery and deception are around every corner, and where primeval mysticism finds its way back from the grave, victory is reserved for neither the good nor the evil, but the powerful.
