I have to admit I don’t care for the romance in this, but I’m much more interested in the ancient Egyptian mythology and culture, as well as much more humanized gods. I found the title interesting, as it seems like a reference to Vergil’s Aeneid (also translates to Ennead), which is about the founding of Rome. The Aeneid is essentially about Roman supremacy, and is very critical(/racist) of the Egyptian culture, which I found strange considering the story is literally about the Egyptian gods. I liked the stylistic choice to make the anthropomorphic gods ‘wear’ their respective animal heads instead of actually being anthropomorphic, and I’m a little bit in love with the character design of the sun goddess. I’m hoping that the title Ennead implies that there might be at some point an inclusion of the Roman gods, even though that’s probably just a stretch. I think it would be really cool to see another ‘cast’ of gods, just because I love the artist’s design of the Egyptian ones. Unfortunately I can’t be bothered with the romance, but I’m so in love with the execution of the idea and all of the art/design choices in the story.
