TW: SA, graphic violence etc.

Wilbur Smith really liked writing about naked barely pubescent girls. This was published in 2001 so the 'it was a different time' defence doesn't really fly. It's problematic.

Nonetheless, this was an entertaining (if rapey) addition to the Ancient Egipt series. Some of the character tropes are becoming predictable though (hero will succeed but barely, hero's offsider will suffer but survive). But yeah. Every young main female character has their body described in detail.
