Dnf, this was the book that sparked a lot of discussion about pesticides and their extended effects on the environment.
I was curious about it so I checked it out.
It is very fear monger-y with a lot of half baked anecdotes. It is an important piece but we are all still alive like 60 years later and science has progressed far enough for there to be better sources on pesticides
The myth was bigger than the woman and felt strangely hollow and meandering for the first 70% and then it started to come together
The plot was kinda loose but it still has bones and now the world is developed.
I think there is supposed to be three books and I think they could be pretty solid
I finished jewel of the seven stars finally
The egyptologists (grave robbers) retrieved a mummy and some artifacts from a tomb and put it on display in their house.
After the mummy astral projected and killed several people they realized the queen had set up her tomb to be resurrected.
Being men of ~good nature with broad foreheads of thinkers~ they attempted the resurrection. They convinced themselves they knew exactly what the queen wanted and that she approved of their actions.
Then they unwrapped her mummy cat and burned it so it couldn't interfere and got upset when they all died during the resurrection
The first one I didn't really like. The misogynistic comments were very annoying, the book dragged, and the ending felt weird to say the least
