"The Heretic Queen is the sequel to Nefertiti. Having read Nefertiti and liking it but not being completely captured by it I didn't rush out to get Heretic. So I was completely surprised with Heretic because it immediately captured my attention. Nefertari, Ramesses, Asha, and Worsoret are very alive characters and this part of of Egyptian history is very interesting. Plus since the idea of having more than one wife is foreign it is fun to read about wives that are dueling for the attention of the husband and the lengths they will go to show up the other. I also enjoyed the power war between Ramesses' two aunts."
"Moran, Michelle. 2008. The Heretic Queen. Crown Publishers. 381 pages.
I am sure that if I sat in a quiet place, away from the palace and the bustle of the court, I could remember scenes from my childhood much earlier than six years old.
Set during the Nineteenth Dynasty, The Heretic Queen is a wonderfully absorbing novel of love, ambition, greed, hope, and redemption. Our heroine is the young Nefertari, daughter of Mutnodjmet and General Nakhtmin. Her life had tragic beginnings, no doubt, her entire family being killed--some would even say murdered. She's sheltered by the current pharoah, true, but for how long? What is her place in this royal court, this royal family? Raised alongside Ramesses II, she has secretly been dreaming of marrying him. But unlike her ill-fated, too-ambitious aunt, Nefertiti, she's not dreaming of the crown and thrown. She's dreaming of the man. But there are great powers at work in this dysfunctional family and court who would do anything to prevent her from that match. (The High Priest of Amun, Rahotep, and Henuttawy, the high priestess of Isis and the pharoah's own sister.) Fortunately for Nefertari, there are people desiring her to win Ramesses' heart and claim the title of queen. (Woserit, the high priestess of Hathor and the pharoah's other sister; and Paser, a wise teacher and advisor).
I loved this book. It's rich in detail, fine in characterization, and magnificent in scope. I loved the love and romance between Ramesses and Nefertari. I did. I don't think you have to love romance to love the book. I think it will appeal to anyone who loves history and historical fiction."
"Although not as lengthy as her debut novel, Nefertiti, this follow up about her supposed niece, Nefertari, is just as stunning in scope. Full of exquisite details about everyday Egyptian life, Ms. Moran weaves a tale of fact blended with fiction to bring alive another of Egypt's more famous queens. She was a fitting consort for one of the most famous of Egypt's pharaohs, Ramesses the Great (of biblical fame), and was his equal in many ways. In an era of mostly arranged marriages (and sometimes even familial marriages!) it was refreshing to read of their love and respect for one another. Ramesses outlived his love by several decades, becoming one of the longest reigning pharaohs in history. He lived well into his nineties, and his queen, beloved Nefertari, reigned at least 25 years at his side. The greatest monument to her is inscribed by Ramesses in her tomb at the Valley of the Queens..."My love is unique and none can rival her...Just by passing, she has stolen away my heart.""
