A Worthy Sequel to Desert Fires

While not quite as perfect as Desert Fires this book is easily one of the best novels I own, and I own many. It continues the saga and continues it as their children grow up and politics never ceases to cause trouble. This time with a sweeping bandit army and an evil, beautiful woman seeking to ensorcel the Pharoah for her own. There is, again, ancient egyptian magic in this book but it is not waving your arms and fireballs exploding. It is a subtle thing of curses and invoking the favor of the gods that goes well with the historical feel of the book. As far as I can tell, this book also is not set in any particular dynasty but instead made up. It feels right though, without pushing the authenticity. It simply reflects the times. One of my favorite books. Read Desert Fires first, then this right after. They are a seamless match.
