I've shared the first chapter of my primary novel/series idea, the first book is titled 'Book of Sekhmet'.

Could you please read my first chapter and give me your honest opinion?

Very evocative piece. The scene setting was really good. The only thing i might suggest is a couple of short, really punchy sentences right at the start, to grab a readers attention and hold it undividedly, draw them in so they can't stop reading
