I am not sure what this novella added to the entire story line of the Iron Druid.  The last novella proved to be significant especially upon reading the follow-up novel; it was successfully incorporated into that story.  A hidden temple, a sorcerer of unknown abilities and the conclusion of dealing with an Egyptian god was intriguing but it played out poorly.  It was rather bogged down with unnecessary details of the sorcerer's lair.  Maybe it will make more sense when I read "Hunted", at least that is my hope.  The scene I had the most fun reading was "the running of the cats" as I call it.  There was great suspense with the frantic chase sequence in which Atticus and Oberon are pursued by hundreds of frenzied Egyptian cats.
