Moving on with my #ReadingAfrica2022 challenge by moving on to this Chunkster at 704 Pages. This will take me to Egypt. The audiobook is 28 hours 36 minutes long.
I started reading this book a while ago, but just never really finished it.
After being struck by depression late 2021 I just found it so difficult to read...well..anything.
The fact that Wilbur Smith died relatively recently too upset me.
I've been meaning to read the series for years but kept putting it off.
RIP Wilbur Smith, I've finally started your Egypt series, and I love what I've read so far.

This was probably my fourth or fifth reading of this book. I found it a little harder going this time around. I‘m not sure why. Perhaps the circumstances we all find ourselves in is not conducive to my reading concentration abilities. I will have to be more careful about what I read so I don‘t accidentally mess up my perceptions of a book I would usually love. Otherwise, still a great story with interesting characters and world building.
A brilliant book. Very well researched. It is the type of book you will read again and again.
I read this book when I was about 12/13 and completely enamoured with ancient Egypt. I fell in love with the characters. It‘s the only Wilbur Smith book I have ever read and the best one I could have chosen to read!
I don't have a high opinion of Wilbur Smith. In fact this is the only book of his which is a pick for me. Taita is just one of those characters you fall in love with and he does a great job bringing ancient Egypt life. A great balance of action and romance, this is excellent escapism. Just don't bother with the sequel's they are terrible. Adult Content.
