I really like Christian Jacq's storytelling. He makes the story of the young Theban princess Ahhotep come alive. Ahhotep is determined to drive the Hykos out of Egypt. I can't wait to find the next two volumes in this trilogy.

I enjoy reading about ancient Egypt, but this book was less enjoyable than most. It seems to aimed at teenage readers and I found it a bit simplistic at times. The main characters seemed unconstrained by the conventions of the time. Good vs Evil, too black and white. I don't plan to read any of the other books in the trilogy.
