I put off reading this book forever, because I know it's the last one.  :(  Kudos to Joan Hess for picking this up and helping deliver the last episode to us.  I didn't find this one as enjoyable as some of the previous volumes, and I'm unsure whether it's because there was less Egyptology in this one, the tone was slightly different, or because I just really like the later volumes where

Nefret and Ramses are together
