The Daughters of Bast "The Hidden Land"

This book is one that a person cannot afford to pass up. Sarah Isidore does a terrific job of combining history with fantasy. The characters portrayed in this book really makes you feel as if you know them, like they are one of your best friends. The cat-Mau- is a great character, and has an attitude that fits a cat. I cannot express how good this good this book truly is, so anyone reading this review, please go out and buy this great book. Again, Sarah is probably one of the best authors I have read, and with anticipation I await to buy the sequel! God bless

I couldn't put it down!

This is a must for anyone who has an interest in egyptian or celtic history. I love both and this book weaved them both together seemlessly. You can really feel the young girls frustration with her tribe when they won't believe her. Mau brings some good humor to the story as well. I thought the ending was sad but since its the beggining of a series it won't be so bad. A refreshing story about the power of women in history. I loved it! I cant wait for the next one!

The Daughters of Bast by Sarah Isidore

I think this author is as good as Marian Zimmer Bradley, and I hope she continues on with this series. I enjoyed how she fleshed out the history in her book, along with describing the life of a priestess. Plenty of adventure and a lot of magic, which makes it fun!

I loved the mixture of human and animal characters.

A great story combining magic and reality, history and fantasy. I enjoyed the development of the main character and her relationship with the cat. A truly unique book and I am looking forward to the next one!

Meticulously researched, fully realized high fantasy

This should be a great series. The author has used accurate historical detail fused seamlessly with folk traditions of the Celts in a rich and sometimes heartbreaking story. Can't wait for the rest of the books!
