3.5 stars

This is the prequel to The Curse of the Sphinx which I also own and after reading this I really want to read the next book.

This was a really quick read and you begin to care for the characters just enough to want to continue on and see how things work out for them.

I will say the author skips forward a lot which for the most part worked fine but there was and instance at the very beginning where it didn't work very well and it took me a few pages to realize what had happened and to not be confused.

This is a short review but I don't really have a whole lot to say about it. I did enjoy it and I want to continue on with the series.

The tale is timeless, and beautifully written .... Where God's and humans mix there is never a good out come ....The promises of the true can be swept away in the rash hands of a bitter God..... Read this amazing story, and follow them with the series ,you won't be disappointed .. I recommend this book as a must read.
Raye Wagner's take on the Origin of the Sphinx blew me away. As a lover of Greek Mythology, I wasn't sure how this was going to go. I'll try not to give out spoilers.

As with most Greek tragedies, there is a curse by the gods and a curse that is given out unfairly. Gods, demigods and mortals sometimes do not mesh and this novella put it all together as a true tragedy should.

I recommend this read for those who are familiar with GM and for those who are new. It involves love, betrayal, secrets, hard choices and a couple of "wows" from me. I really appreciate how this author has kept to the true tales of GM, while entertaining the reader with her own brand on the Sphinx.
I actually read the 3 other novels in the series before picking this one up. I loved the others so much that this had a lot to live up to and I am not usually an avid reader of novellas. I think I may just be a new fan of shorter stories! Raye Wagner never disappoints, and this was no exception. A wondeful addition to the Sphinx series. I will be reading absolutely anything I can get my hands on by this author. If you haven't been reading her yet, you should be!
That prologue. Whoa!

Find out how the curse began...
An attractive man...
A god...
Daughter of Hera...
Drastic consequences...

From the start, the writing and the world gripped my attention - not leaving me a moment to breath. That's how breathtaking it was!

Full of gods, demigods, mistrust, confusion, consequences, love, curses, death, sorrow and the Fates.

Perfect for readers of Greek mythology/ dark fantasy romance/urban mythology.
I. DO. NOT. LIKE. NOVELLAS.

SERIOUSLY.

*five seconds later* EXCEPT THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD NOVELLA *evil smirk*
This novella...I mean, I would honestly love to review a book in this series, but I can't. And that depresses me to no end, because I really want to jump in. Mythology+Ancient Egypt+love+magic is like the perfect recipe, and that's what this novella is all about. This review isn't so much a "review" as it is a pleading cry for the first Sphinx book to be published. I was contacted by the author, Ms. Wagner, to review her novella because of a book recommendation request I made on GR. Long story short, she offered me an ARC, and I had to decline, because I had already purchased the novella some ten hours previously. But I got the pleasure of exchanging messages with her, and asked her (in my polite reviewer voice, of course) when the first book would be out. It's still a work in progress, but if it's anything like this novella, then I'll be hooked. I give five stars to, yes, this short little mini book midget because I am highly anticipating the release of the first book, and the rest of the series to follow.

Also, a bonus star (it's like the Happening Star in Mario Party...like the only star I ever win) because of this GORGEOUS COVER. Seriously, I'm not sure how the cover of the first book can top this, because this is, like, perfection.
The gods are enormously powerful, but they don’t fix problems.
They make bigger ones.
Uncover the curse. . .

Origin of the Sphinx is a prequel novella in the Curse of the Sphinx series.

Origin is novella that will captivate you from start.

I enjoy reading books based on any mythology so this was logical choice for me.

I love Raye Wagner's world with gods, demigods, monsters and mortals. I'm impressed with how much world she managed to build in so little pages and develop such great characters.

Phoibe (demigod) is naive and sweet young woman who was raised by her aunt Priska.
Phoibe falls in love with mortal but also catches the eye of god Apollo.
He wants her and won't take no for an answer.
Phoibe must choose between arrogant god and love of her life - mortal man.

This is story about family, loyalty, love, arrogant and vengeful gods, choices and consequences.

Love it and would recommend it!
I never would have thing so much could happen in so few pages. The first few pages were a bit disorienting because of the complicated names and unfamiliar setting, but once I got past that and adapted, the novella because very enjoyable. I absolutely loved Phoibe and Isaak. The attraction was instant, but then there was this long period of courting through letters, which I liked. I didn't like Apollo for obvious reasons (Team Isaak over here), but I never expected the ending. I actually gasped, and then proceeded to cry. Oh my. One thing did confuse me though.

I thought the setting was and time period were unique, but I'm not sure when exactly the story is set. It seemed like forever ago, yet there where modern day phrases that jarred me, such as same old, same old and a few others I can't remember. Other than that, I think the author did an excellent job, and I can't wait to dive into the next two books.

If you liked this, you should try Legacy of Kings.
