In the Midst of Omens (The Legacy of Gilgamesh Series) by Nicole Bailey – Review by Beverly Finnie

In the Midst of Omens by Nicole Bailey
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Have you ever just chosen to read a book just by its cover? Well for me this is one of those times. It didn’t pan out as I hoped but that’s okay. In the Midst of Omens has a cover the lures a reader in. It’s just a matter if this is your type of story or not. In my case it wasn’t but that doesn’t mean it was bad. The author put together a well written story of a man drunk on power. A goddess wanting to bring him down. And another man who is waiting in the wings for his calling. Brought together in a bit of a triangle but what’s the saying two’s company 3’s a crowd.
Gilgamesh is drunk on power & ambition. Human to a fault though he possesses immortal powers that he inherited from his goddess mother. He needs an heir but 2 things stand in his way. They need immortal blood, that’s the law. As well as if he shows any of his children favoritism he may have sentenced them to death. Because the goddess Inanna would love nothing more than to destroy him. Why not through his children. She has plans for him.
So when wolf raised Enkidu has been called upon to help rein Gilgamesh in it brings on a whole nother wrath from Inanna, but it’s just what he needs.
What will be the end result?
How will Gilgamesh and Enkidu navigate the path they landed on together?
Premise for a wonderful story. If you like battle, revenge, god and goddess lore then this book is for you. I, on the other hand, am going to look into other books by this author because they tell stories rather well.
