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

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

I’ve never read the story of Gilgamesh so I wasn’t sure what to expect but this was a great story. Gilgamesh is a story about a part mortal part God who lives in a city with a palace and wives and many children, he leads a army who is strong and capable and feared by many. This however is not enough and Gilgamesh is set on leaving a legacy for all to remember and cant seem to find happiness with what he already has. The gods want him to find happiness and balance so Enkidu was made to be Gilgameshs other half. Enkidu was raised by wolves has no want of a legacy of his own only to fulfill his purpose. The moment when Gilgamesh and Enkidu touch is the moment a beautiful passionate relationship is born.
The lead up to develop these two characters is definitely a slow burn and is not for everyone, but the character development was excellent.
This story has several different relationship themes including mm mf ff and there are a few trigger warnings that should be heeded. There’s also several definitions in the beginning that are helpful to check prior to reading.
