Title: A mixture of historical fact and contemporary language
Product review: I was excited to find a novel based in Ancient Egypt written by someone who has an advanced degree in Egyptology. I was disappointed by some of the contemporary language used in the book. For example, when Shanaar walks into Ahsha's office and makes a comment about Ahsha having been promoted into a coveted "corner office". This phrase I equate with modern upward mobility, not Dynastic Egypt. This, I realize, may have to do with the fact that I was reading a novel traslated into English not written in English and it often happens that things get lost in the translation.
