ALT The very minute I saw that C.M. Aragon was inspired by movies like The Mummy (cinematic masterpiece, I will not argue), I just KNEW I was going to love this book. Rue is one of my favorite characters she very much embodied the vibes of Evie from The Mummy. Her intelligence combined with curiosity and clumsiness was spot on. I have the softest spot in my heart for the found family trope and felt comforted by Rue's found family. Also can we just talk about annoyances to lovers? This trope will forever make me kick my feet with glee. I am married to a VERY annoying man, but I love him so much. So every time characters start out this way I am like "look that's us" to my husband lol. The Call of Chaos is a debut novel and I swear for me it didn't feel like a debut, it was so good. I need book two tomorrow (I am joking I have patience and know books take time, but pretty please?) This book made me laugh and cry and that doesn't happen very often so if you like books with curious clumsy libra
