Review: IMO romances have to have HEAs

*SPOILERS INCLUDED*So this cannot really be considered a romance. There is romance, but you know from the first horrific chapter that there will be no happy ending. Which almost made me quit reading then and there. But I wondered if perhaps the author would manage to surprise me, so I kept reading, although skimming a LOT from 50% on.Irisi and Khai are great protagonists, and the story is well-written. But the way the story ends. . . there is no hope of them being together even in the afterlife. . . and I am not about to torture myself with the sequel. And I'm not sure what sort of monster Irisi has become after her death, although to be fair it's probably because I skimmed so much. But there's no arguing that she IS a monster, that Khai has gone to the afterlife without her, and that is simply not an acceptable ending, in my book.If, however, you are looking for a story about ancient Egypt gods and goddesses, battles between good and evil, and an extraordinarily brave heroine, this may be the book for you.
