Protagonists must be more of out-lined cast which presented by others as Hero not by self-proclamation. Such boastful & pompous characters made the work looks like fantasy but spoil the content for the readers. There came a hiatus when story moving steadily towards more on Zaras & Tehuti than the actual quest but that was the best of all parts written because at most points Taita was presented as hypocrite character giving goose-bumps to himself.
“Good intelligence wins battles long before the first arrow is shot or the first sword is drawn from its scabbard.” Quotes, author used periodically were so amazing and relevant with the reality of human behaviour. However, there seems to be a discrepancy or rough illusion over the Gods he mentioned that created a doubt on why Egyptions worshipped Greek gods? How did that mattered to them considering 'Poseidon'? Though I had always adored the Egyptian Quests but this one's my first book from Wilbur Smith and I must say it was compelling. Being a hardcore fan of Egyptian Settlement and early Mesopotamian Era, it was really very charismatic and magestic to me.
