You Can't Judge A Book By Its Cover... Or Can You?

I log onto Amazon.com today and, to my surprise, look what I see:

Sphinx's Princess by Esther Friesner

Release: September 22, 2009

My first thought was, "That looks just like one of the covers for Nobody's Princess or Nobody's Prize." And, after further inspection, I realized that the book, Sphinx's Princess, is in fact written by the same author, Esther Friesner.

I'm not exactly sure what the book is about, but I do know that it more than likely it is not related to Friesner's first two novels (as they were about Helen of Troy). However, it is safe to say that the book is about an Egyptian princess. (Cleopatra perhaps?)

No matter what it's about, I'm extremely excited for this book to be released. I absolutely loved Friesner's first book, Nobody's Princess. She told Helen's history with such detail and imagination that it was hard not to get swept up into her world. Once I started reading I was hooked and the book didn't leave my hands until I finished it. Sphinx's Princess is sure to be equally amazing.
