Summary: Far from her best effort.
Comment: I was looking forward to this book, as I do with all of EP's works. I was so disappointed with this book, I had to read it again just to make sure I hadn't imagined it. It felt as if she had written most of this book some time ago, got stuck, and decided later to slap an ending onto it and release it for publication. As another reader noted, there was no reference to the events in this book in any of the other books that followed this one chronologically. I thought that odd, since surely Amelia would have told Emerson at some point later that Sethos was the 'friend'.
The idea to return to the Lost Oasis was a good one, but the execution left something to be desired. Unlike other readers, I was not shocked nor disppointed with Ramses' involvement with Daria (he is human, after all) but I thought her character was not developed enough for me to care about her one way or the other. A little more information on her history would have helped there. I also thought Nefret acted out of character; she is more strong-willed than this book would indicate.
Go ahead and buy this book if you have the rest of the Amelia Peabody series. If you pick and choose only the best of Elizabeth Peters, you can safely skip this one, as it adds nothing to the overall series.

Summary: Not the best, but still good
Comment: More so than usual, this was quite a book to keep up with. The plots upon plots and intricate character web were a bit difficult to follow, and even though I've finished I still feel as if there are several storylines that weren't resolved.
Even though Ramse's romance with Daria bothered some people (including me, to an extent), it's really not that big of a deal, especially considering that it's never mentioned in the rest of the series.
A lot of people complained about this book, but I though all and all this was a cute, well-written read. Like many other fans, I was just happy to find out that Ms. Peters had written another one!
Rating: 5
Summary: I did not want it to end!
Comment: Absolutely wonderful, with all the elements that makes this series special: adventure; strong female characters; droll humor; ancient Egypt, mystery, and dashing male protagonists. This book is highly recommended to anyone who has enjoyed the previous books and to anyone who wants to start a new series that is fun, charming, and impossible to put down. I eagerly await the next installment.
