The New Kingdom is an adventure book about Hui the favored son of a doting father, and ruler-in-waiting of the city. After a power shift, he finds himself cast out of the city and captured by the Hyksos. Through them he learns the art of war, learning how to fight, and becoming a talented charioteer. He ends up fighting alongside the Egyptian General Tanus and renowned Mage, Taita. The story is full of action and adventure. I really enjoyed the Ancient Egyptian culture and meeting some of the gods that ruled during this time. The characters are well-written, Hui comes across as intelligent and strong, he generally does the right thing and feels betrayed when those close to him do not. The setting is fantastic, with so much great Egyptian culture. It is a fun and fast-paced story that will keep you turning the pages to find out what happens next.
