"I found this book quite absorbing. It was a fascinating glimpse into the lives of people so very different from ourselves. It put a colourful flesh onto the bare bones of historical fact.
The political intriques had your head spinning, as Nefertiti attempted to keep her country from ruin and her family from asassination, whilst trying to humour an unbalanced husband. What a woman !
Alongside the complex plot were glimpses into the everyday life of the nobility and those who served them. The fashions, the social life, the loves and the losses, vibrant cities and gentle countryside. It was all there.
"I truly have mixed feeling about this book. The author in her note at the end of the book tells us that she is faithful to the history of the period, but from my own search into that time I know that it is not true. I also can't like the way she portrayed Akhenaten and Nefertiti at all, nor do I think that that was the way they were, based on what little I know of them.
Take away the historical references, and you've got a good story. The interactions between the two sister, was a very good story, though at some points not very believable. I gave it three stars for the story, and because it is a first attempt by the writer at writing."
"I really enjoyed this book. It seems an Egyptian version of the Boleyn books by Phillipa Gregory. The story isn't as much about Nefertiti as it is about her sister Mutny. Since much of this time has to be pieced together from what little information we have take the events and people with a grain of salt and enjoy the story."
"This book was amazing historical fiction. It covers the time period between Nefertiti's acsension to queen (or chief wife of Pharaoh) and her death. It gives an indepth view of these people about whom so little is known for sure. The author does a phenomenal job of bringing these characters to life. Nefertiti is a character that you feel sorry for and are angry at simultaneously for most of the book. Anyone who likes Philippa Gregory's historical fiction novels of the English court (The Other Boleyn Girl, The Virgin Queen, etc.) will enjopy this book as well."
