I hope she will continue writing, too.Sarah Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13340312953393474963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19307003.post-69776773382848875012011-11-24T11:43:41.096-06:002011-11-24T11:43:41.096-06:00I love Pauline Gedge.

Set in ancient Egypt, they are the stories of Thu, a peasant who by her own tenacity, a little luck and fate is thrown into the dangerous world of the high ranking nobles of Egypt. I would love a sequel. I don't know if that would be possible though. It ended so well. In my imagination I dream of sequels and stories of her and what might have happened. Such a wonderful cast of characters. Seriously, one of my all time favourite series. Pauline Gedge is such a good writer! I hope she writes more, although I read somewhere that she wanted to take some time off. I would cry if she didn't write more though.anna Petersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19307003.post-68460615719013303362011-05-16T12:53:27.294-05:002011-05-16T12:53:27.294-05:00Gedge is one of those historical novelists who dro...Gedge is one of those historical novelists who drops you headlong into a completely alien world. I had the setting of this one in my head for days after I finished! I'd think you could start with any book of hers, as long as it's a standalone or the first book in a series. It's been a long time since I read Twelfth Transforming, and I'm very tempted to reread it as a sequel of sorts to this.Sarah Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13340312953393474963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19307003.post-19746674204217282012011-05-16T10:34:22.943-05:002011-05-16T10:34:22.943-05:00I think it's time I added some of Pauline Gedg...I think it's time I added some of Pauline Gedge's works to my shelf. I see them in the bookstore all the time, but haven't yet purchased one. Based on your review I think this trilogy would be a good place for me to start.
