terdeck 's review for:

The Heretic Queen by Michelle Moran
3.0

This was fairly well written, definitely well researched, and I was here for the intrigue. The romance? Not so much. While it was very evident Nefertari loved Rameses, I didn’t really buy aspects of their relationship esp in the beginning. Lots of court drama and intrigue though. The historical aspect was fascinating. It was cool to be immersed in one imagining of what Egypt would have been like in all its glory

I thought this was interesting and definitely reminded me of my Egyptology obsession in middle school but it also didn’t really feel like it had a plot outside of the intrigue??? Nefertari’s only goal was to be his Queen and then it ends. Cool but I wouldn’t read it again.
