It makes you hesitate to try again if there's a next one. If there is, perhaps it will be back on par (and will have been long enough that you've forgotten how poor this one was).Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859017153454691633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-68590115378609260492016-12-13T17:13:01.050+00:002016-12-13T17:13:01.050+00:00Ooh this has piqued my interest!

I love egyptology and anything to do with ancient history so I'll have to start from the beginning with this series from what you've said as the other books sounds good!
