@mtm: I don't know as much about egyptian mythology, and as such am not interested as much in the Egypt style books by Riordan.


Has anyone here heard of the Across the Universe series? Currently only the first 2 books of the trilogy are available, with the third one expected January 2013. It is a sci-fi book, but not hard core. In fact, I would only categorize it as sci-fi because the book is about space travel. I would highly recommend the series to anyone, as they are good length books with great characters. The book is written similarily to Rick Riordan's Heroes of Olympus books, with each character telling their story in their point of view. I picked up the first book just after Christmas because it looked interesting, and immediately after starting I was hooked. The plot is full of mystery and suspense, and both have great backdrops (scenes) that you can really begin to feel, especially in book two (although book one comes with a map).
