( ) In the conclusion to The King's Man trilogy, Pauline Gedge continues Huy's quest to uncover the truth of the Book of Thoth while handling the increasing burden of Egypt's governance. Written with Gedge's usual attention to character and environmental detail, the book definitely transports the reader to ancient Egypt. However, for me the overall arc of the story lacked the kind of tension we usually find in Gedge's other books. The King's Man is a good read, but not quite up to Gedge's usual standards. Still, recommended for a good summer escape. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Twelve-year-old Amunhotep III has ascended the throne, becoming king of the richest empire on earth. The boy's mother acts as regent, but she has brought to court the renowned seer, Huy, son of a humble farmer, to be scribe and counsel to her royal son. It's a position of power and responsibility--one fraught with intrigue and the lure of corruption. For it is Huy who controls the treasury, the military, all construction, and taxation--and perhaps most important, it's his task to choose the young Pharaoh's queen. His actions and premonitions, as well as his legendary past, make him very few friends and a great many enemies... The King's Man continues the story of Huy--first seen in The Twice Born and Seer of Egypt--and his rise to power and fame. With her meticulous research and compelling prose, Pauline Gedge immerses readers in the ancient and fascinating culture that was Egypt. Ingen biblioteksbeskrivelser fundet. |
