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

In the Midst of Omens by Nicole Bailey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the the Legacy of Gilgamesh series. This was really a great start to the series. It is full of action, adventure, romance, mythology, god and goddesses all woven together to create a very unique and captivating story.
The author has done a great job of mixing historical elements into the fantasy and mythology which for me really brings the characters to life.
The story was captivating from the first page and I couldn’t put it down. The ending has definately set you up for the next book which I am egar to read to carry on the adventure.
I was unfamiliar with the stories of Gilgamesh. To be he has a lot of responsibility and huge sense of duty but he is also obsessed with leaving a legacy and wanting the be remembered to the point where he is unable to appreciate what he has achieved and the people around him.
When Enkidu enters his life it becomes role to help him see this and also to bring him down and hble him a little. What will happen as Gilgamesh and Enkidu get closer. Will Gilgamesh find what he was missing in this stranger that became a friend.
This is a romance as well as we see Gilgamesh’s feelings change for Enkidu and we leave about his wife’s partners. Both Gilgamesh and his wife love each other but you can tell it’s mainly in a friendship. They complement each other and they work well as a team and the fact they allow each other to find romance else where makes them stronger in my opinion.
This story was complex but very captivating and I ended up getting hooked into their story and their lives.
