Taita is almost as bad as Ayla when it comes to inventing stuff way earlier than it was actually invented, and the reason is even more annoying -- instead of showing off all the research, like Auel did, Smith uses Taita's ridiculous talent to skimp on worldbuilding. Also this book wobbles on the line between absorbing and melodramatic and sometimes falls to one side. no reviews | add a review

Ancient Egypt. Land of the Pharaohs. A kingdom built on gold. A legend shattered by greed. Now the Valley of Kings lies ravaged by war, drained of its lifeblood, as weak men inherit the cherished crown. On the eve of the festival of Osiris, the loyal subjects of the Pharaoh gather in Thebes to pay tribute to their leader. Exploding with all the passion and rage of a bygone time, River God is a masterpiece of historical writing. No library descriptions found. |
