Eventhough, we still do

You write in order to change the world, knowing perfectly well that you probably can't, but also knowing that literature is indispensable to the world... The world changes according to the way people see it, and if you alter, even by a millimeter, the way...

People look at reality, then you can change it.

English books: Shadow of the Sphinx

Guys! Two days ago I finished this novel named "Shadow of the Sphinx", on "The Judge of Egypt Trilogy", remember it? I already wrote about the first two parts named "Beneath the Pyramid" and "Secrets of the Desert", I hope you liked them. And here we are! Being this the last book on this collection I wanted you to know how everything ended. Or maybe the start of the ending, as I never tell you how a book really ends, do I? ;) Lets see... (Come on, Miriam! You can do this! Remember what you where about to say!...)
Oh! Got it, ;) Lets start with the review of the book:
Pazair finds himself surrounded by Egypt's problems. Being not a simple judge (which is not a simple job at all) but a tjaty, he's in-charge of taking care of Egypt and its people.
Pharaoh Ramses is having problems. The Testament of the God's is been stolen. The country is awaiting a crisis, faming times. People ask him to make a ritual of Regeneration. But he can't without the book and if he isn't able to carry it out he's going to have to lend his place as Pharaoh to Bel Tran, Egypt's most terrible conspirator. What's Pazair to do to stop Egypt from becoming a country without rules and where the law of the strongest reigns? The reign of Ma'at cannot be transformed into that. So he must fight. Quickly. With all his intelligence and instict, he must take care of Egypt as best as he cans. With Neferet's help, Suti's and Kem's, he must surpass Bel Tran's skills of corruption. Will he be able to? I think so but better find out by yourselves, shouldn't you? :)
