Book description
Okay, so let me tell you about this gem I just finished listening to-Three Great Lies by Vanessa MacLellan. First off, if you're tired of fantasy that's all doom and gloom, this one's for you. The author literally says she was sick of wallowing in darkness, and honestly? I felt that.
The story grabs you right away. You've got Jeannette, this super cynical scientist who's basically over everything while vacationing in Egypt. No drama, no ancient tombs-just boring tour groups, right? Wrong. She gets pulled into this newly discovered tomb by a teenage guide, next thing you know she's falling down a shaft and boom-3,000 years in the past. Like, what even is time travel when it just happens to you?
Now she's stuck in this world where gods are literally walking around, prophecies are heating up the atmosphere (which sounds terrifying), and all she wants is a decent fridge and some modern plumbing. Can you blame her? But then she stumbles into this whole situation with a slave master trying to sell a girl with a cat head. It's wild, but stick with it.
Jeannette being penniless in ancient times is honestly the relatable chaos we all need. She does this impulsive thing-steals the cat-headed girl-and suddenly she's got this massive slaver hunting them down. Then throw in a newly awakened mummy (because why not make things more complicated?), and you've got yourself a proper adventure.
What really hooked me about this audiobook was how it balanced being genuinely fun without being shallow. You're not drowning in endless darkness or morally bankrupt characters. It's refreshing to have a story where people actually try to do the right thing, even when it's messy. Plus, the world-building? Spot on. It felt lived-in, like you could actually smell the markets and feel the dust between your toes.
The narration pulled me in completely-I found myself sitting in my car longer than necessary just to hear what happened next. If you're into fantasy that leans more toward the hopeful side but still delivers solid action and characters you genuinely care about, you need this one. Seriously, go get it. You won't regret it.
