Seer of Egypt: Volume Two of the King's Man Trilogy

Written as a sequel to her popular novel The Twice Born, this book sweeps the reader along with Huy, a poor boy with the gift of sight who becomes a Seer for Pharaoh. The author wraps up the loose ends from Twice Born, and includes a hefty dose of fantasy with her history.

I have read every book Pauline Gedge has written and she never fails to take me on a fabulous journey to the past. I anxiously await for the next book in this series. Ms Gedge has made Ancient Egypt so real that one can taste the Leek soup and smell the rich warm earth that is being planted after the floods. Her descriptions of daily life are very real and she never falls into the bad movie or a Hollywood version of ancient Egypt .. I especially appreciated the areas of food, clothing, and household duties that are so well detailed. My only criticism is the thoughts of three and four year old children being so advanced in reason. If you love her works, you will love this book.
