Neferura takes Egyptian history and turns it into a story that is easy to read and appreciate. The text is definitely aimed at a younger audience than myself, which it definitely assists in making the story palatable but it does appear to be written for a much younger audience than the YA audience it is aimed at.
The beginning of the story is quite slow, but it does pick up towards the second half of the book, which I did enjoy more. Some events feel a bit "too easy" in terms of pushing the plot along and getting our heroes to where they need to be. I love seeing female friendship in these stories, so the relationships between these characters were very heart-warming.
Overall, I enjoyed the story and appreciated the writing, it just wasn't for me.
Thank you to Sourcebooks Landmark for an e-arc of this one, all opnions are my own.
