"The Minikins of Yam offers us an outre ancient world -- in this
case Egypt -- where the creatures of myth ... exist alongside true
historical characters and settings. The 12-year-old Pharoah, Pepy
II (whom Swann tells us really existed), is a humanitarian soul,
sneaking out of the palace at night in disguise to distribute
largesse among the poor and downtrodden. But Pepy is threatened by
the machinations of his sister and queen, who is plotting his
murder so she can enjoy absolute rule -- a stunt she just might get
away with since she can disguise the murder as a sacrifice to
assuage a population panicked by the untimely and prophetic arrival
of a phoenix on the palace walls." --SFReviews.net
