cmucce01 's review for:
The Heretic Queen
by Michelle Moran
A lovely sequel to “Nefertiti,” exploring the life of Queen Nefertari and the palace intrigues as she vies to be Ramesses II’s Chief Wife. It was fun to see some of the themes from the Book of Exodus play out, and have a heroine who is beautiful but also a lover of languages and politics (comme moi!) I also appreciated that this story examined the fall-out of Nefertiti and Akhenaten’s scandalous attempt at monotheism, and how that may have impacted Nefertari’s reputation at court. Overall a super fun read and another wonderful jaunt through ancient history.
