4.0

Fun read, with smooth prose. I found the romance to be the least interesting part of the book, as it mostly seemed determined by occupations or elsewise not driven by the character's desire. Hatshepsut's arrogance was fun to read, and I loved how she navigated being the daughter of Ra denied her dues. I think the Thotmoseses sexual obessions with her could have been more interesting. Wish there had been a bit more gender fuckery.
