Descrizione prodotto

L'autore

At the age of ten, while on a school field trip to a local museum, Merrie P. Wycoff saw a colossal statue of Pharaoh Akhenaten. She was instantly mesmerized, and so was born her passion for Egypt, its history, and its ancient people. That passion has stayed with her from her growing-up years through today, fueled by her long-ago vow to write Akhenaten’s story. Now, with the publication of Shadow of the Sun, she has fulfilled that vow. In addition to a B.A in Public Relations, an M.A. in Metaphysical Studies, and a Ph.D. in Comparative Religion, Merrie is in the process of finishing her Egyptology Certificate with the University of Manchester in Great Britain. But she feels that perhaps the most important part of her education was her time spent with Abd'El Hakim Awyan, a recognized Elder and Indigenous Egyptian Wisdom Keeper of the Eye Tribe and Keeper of the Keys, whom she met on one of her visits to Egypt. Her studies with him taught her things that could not be learned from books, invaluable teachings of ritual, magic, and history, all of which she has put to good use in this book, and in her personal life. Merrie resides in Colorado, close to the majesty and the magic of the Rocky Mountains. There she follows her dual calling as a Vibrational Healer and writer. Shadow of the Sun is her first novel.

5,0 su 5 stelle More Than Ancient Egypt! A Must Read!
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 11 gennaio 2013

I discovered SHADOW OF THE SUN on Twitter, and after learning more about the author decided to give the book a try. Merrie Wycoff has penned a work that will make a great epic movie. She has woven a tapestry of subplots against an epic struggle and the rich background of Ancient Egypt, a civilization that we still hold in awe.

It is important to mention that Shadow of The Sun is NOT just about Ancient Egypt. It is a story about timeless themes and human nature. There is something for everyone - mystery, forbidden love, corruption, evil, political/civil strife and the destiny of the human soul. You don't have to have an Egypt fetish to enjoy and learn from Wycoff's work.

The story is told from the perspective of a young Egyptian princess, Merit-Aten, daughter of the "heretical" Pharoah Akhenaten. I find the first person one of the most difficult ways to write, but Wycoff pulls it off well. Some of the other reviews miss the point of this device and have criticized what a 10-year old girl might or might not be aware of. Merit-Aten provides a unique and at first, innocent, window into this fascinating world. That makes the surprises to come all that more moving. Trust me, you WILL be surprised!

Shadow of The Sun is suspensful, exciting, inspiring and even shocking! I give it my highest recommendation! Bravo Wycoff, and I await eagerly for the next installment.

4,0 su 5 stelle This is a splendid and original historical fantasy set in Egypt!

This is a splendid and original historical fantasy set in Egypt. The world the author paints is very authentic and well-constructed. The political developments and the minor histories that drive these developments were engrossing and three-dimensional, which made the setting read life-like.

I particularly liked the way Merit-Aten, the five-year old main character, sees the world. She is technically human, but there is something special and prophetic about her. She has a distinctively elongated head, and she sees people’s emotions as colorful auras. Merit-Aten wants, above all, to learn magic so that she can help people. I enjoyed reading her innocent perspective on the dark, sacrificial, and conspiring force that is the Amun Priesthood. The tribulations the royal family that she is a part of faced to overcome adversity were inspiring.

The events that occurred in the story were very colourful, however I did feel like an observer, mainly because Merit-Aten seemed to be an observer in the story. This is understandable because she was very young; however it did make me feel as if the story wasn’t progressing fast enough where it had significance to the main character. I also found that it wasn’t always clear by the punctuation and formatting who was speaking.

Overall, I thought the story was very enjoyable, and different, which I liked for I don’t always read stories like this. I felt the conclusion vindicated my criticism and seemed to shed light on most of the earlier events regarding Merit-Aten’s quest to learn magic and of her confronting her childhood fears. I recommend this book to any historical or fantasy reader. I’d suggest reading a sample immediately for I was quite taken with the depth of the character Merit-Aten!

Merrie Wycoff's writing about ancient Egypt is so vivid that I felt like I was there. I could see it, taste it, smell it--you get the idea. I was particularly intrigued with the series of initiations that her character, Merit-Aten, goes through. I felt as if I were in the temples and being given a glimpse into the true daily life and rituals in the various temples lining the Nile. "So that's what they did back then," I found myself saying so often. Her Ph.D. in Egyptology is definitely behind all that rich detail and good history. The look into family life, especially the life of the royal family, was amazing. I'd always thought that Akhenaten's time was a golden moment, but Wycoff shows what a struggle it must have been to try to bring enlightenment into a time of darkness. Her ending surprised me and will you, too. Looking forward to the next one!

I took the time to read this to the end. I 'm glad I did. The plot was slow getting going but once it got moving carried you along nicely. Good characters. Confusing settings sometimes.

3,0 su 5 stelle Interesting But Not The Best
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 5 luglio 2014

I liked the story being told in first person but because of the complexity of the names of the characters I found it hard to follow at times... The time line was also hard to follow and the ending left a lot of things unfinished... The story of Akhenaten and his short rule could have been better served with less crammed into such a short book...
