The characters were the best part of the book - Seth's plotting was ingenious, Rhetia's return was brilliant, the Jackal was amazing, by far the best and most badass character, and during a certain scene, I could feel the tears brewing!
I also hope I wasn't the only one thinking, "God, will someone kill Manto already?" throughout the whole thing?
On the whole, though, a great read! The fictional universe of the Two Lands is based on Ancient Greece and Ancient Egypt, so if you like your mythology, I recommend this book! [though I'd start with the first book in the series, The Oracle.]”
“It was a really good book.”

“This whole series is set in a fictional world that sort of combines Egypt, ancient Greece, and probably some ancient Rome as well. Catherine Fisher is an impressive wordsmith (despite her overuse of a handful of words) that spins a very colorful tale.

Christians might take issue with this series in the way that it paints the 'gods' and the Rain Queen as the creator of the world. I'm a Christian, and I didn't take issue with it - though I did find myself comparing what I know of God and how the god in this book operates. I liked all the books and recommend the series. ”
“Great conclusion, ending with a bang! Mirany is finally the Speaker! And she's a TRUE Speaker. Although it was slightly(read as extremely) confusing, you still got the general gist. But you still find yourself wondering if the little coincidences are by accident , or on purpose.”

“This book is so good! Once you start it, you ARE hooked, but start with Oracle Betrayed, the first book in this trilogy.”

“Day of the Scarab provides the dramatic conclusion to Catherine Fisher’s Oracle Prophecies. Mirany, Oblek, Argelin and the Archon must journey into the underworld to help Argelin in his quest to retrieve Hermia from death. On the ground, chaos reigns with the mercenaries led by Ingeld attempting to take control of the city and the Island where the Oracle is found.

Desperate times call for desperate means. Seth and the tomb thief, the Jackal lead the remaining priestesses back to the Island in an attempt to restore the Oracle. Since there aren’t nine priestesses left, Seth and the Jackal participate in the rituals and the attempt to cleanse the temple.
Can Mirany bring everyone back from the Underworld? Can Seth unite the remaining priestesses in the job of restoring the Oracle? Can the Jackal and his troops defend the Island from the invaders and from the sorceress, Manto?
Those who have read the first volumes in this trilogy won’t want to miss the exciting conclusion.
