Woahhhh~ I bought one of his book--The Quest. Haven't read it. Realized it's the last book of the Egyptian series. Have to find the previous sequels of this series to actually start reading it. ...and you took Egyptology?! That's so awesome!!!

Do I have to read the first four books of this series to read this one?

This book, no. 5 it seems in Smith's Egyptian series, has me confused. At the end of the previous book (The Quest), Taita was transformed into a young man again. Yet, Desert God seems to totally ignore the previous book. Plus it seems a little light on plot. Also, I'm getting tired of how flawless Taita is. Unless the next book gets rave reviews, I think I might give it a miss. Have I missed something?

However Taita's relentless self congratulation got to me, and I won't be reading any of the others. I got tired of the Last Kingdom series for a similar reason.(less)

Although some time ago, I thought he had - through dealings with that witch in the previous story, was made once again a complete man, but this story starts with the suggestion that he's not. Hmmm. At this point, Taita - the genius, seems to be recounting a memory. At this point, it is too early for me to determine if that is the case, if it remains as a past recollection, or synchronises to the point in time of his completeness. The reference to his beloved Lostris in the story's early reference is a puzzle to me. Maybe I've missed something.(less)
