Review:
The Mummy Fandom is a fandom that is really small and so it was an even bigger and better surprise when I stumbled upon this gem of a story. Sheherazade and Kamira who are the original authors of 'No Certain Victory' manage to create a story with so many different layers that there is not a single second reading NCV that isn't filled with being entranced by the mythology, the interactions between the characters, the politics of this particular world and the action and adventure of the battles.

After reading NCV I immediatly bought the recommended book about Egypt because I wanted to know more about the culture, the history and the mythology that is such a big part of this universe. No Certain Victory consists of five books and once you've finished reading the over 1300 pages you want even more.

And this is the only fault of NCV, the authors promise at the end of book five that there will be a continuation in another story called 'An Uncertain Rest' but unfortunately Sheherazade died and so the sequel was put on hold. Kamira said in an e-mail I exchanged with her that she is continuing writing. So far no luck though. Her posting the story on AO3 now, I hope means that the sequel will be posted too. Let's wait and find out.
