Red River, Volume 21

By Chie Shinohara

Book Overview

Yuri, a teen of the 21st century, has been transported to ancient Anatolia as part of a scheme by the evil Nakia, Queen of the Hittites. Only the intervention of Nakia's stepson, Prince Kail, saved Yuri from the Queen's bloodthirsty intentions. As an unintended consequence, the people of the kingdoms of Anatolia have embraced Yuri as the incarnation of the great war-goddess Ishtar. Unrest is stirring in Egypt, where Yuri is being prepared to become the bride of General Ramses. When she sees the downtrodden state of the people, she takes action that results in an unexpected reunion with four of her friends from Kail's court, who have been sent to Egypt to gather evidence of Nakia's treasonous activities. The Hittites enlist Ramses' help, only to have their new ally fall into the clutches of Nakia's collaborator, Queen Nefertiti. Unwilling to leave Ramses to his fate, Yuri hatches a plan that might well lead to full-scale political upheaval in the Land of the Pharoahs!

Continuously Fantastic

Just like the volumes before this, it continues the story wonderfuly. Its still filled with a few surprises and holds your interest and attention. It just made me really sad when this volume was over.^^; This one is the continued volume from when Yuri comes from Egypt after her miscarriage. In this one, she plans to meet queen Nefertiti through a false marriage with Ramses. Though Ramses has no plans for the marriage being a hoax. After a breakout in public, Yuri caused a scene to get Ramses into trouble, and now they have a whole new revolution for Egypt on their hands. If you've read the other volumes or have not started the series, you should get this and the other books! Theres romance, suspence, conspiracys, humor, and great action and battle scenes.^_^ Whats most imporatant is that the story is outstanding, and the art is gorgeous. Get this story, it is FANTASTIC!
