Ancient Egypt 3500 years ago - a land ruled by the all-powerful female king, Hatshepsut. Ambitious, ruthless and worldly: a woman who established Amun as the chief god of Egypt, bestowing his Priesthood with unprecedented riches and power. This is a story of vision and obsession, of mighty projects and heartbreaking failures - the story of a woman possessed by the desire for power and the need to love.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Hatshepsut novel not quite up to par,
This review is from: Hatshepsut: Daughter of Amun (Paperback)
I have been interested in Hatshepsut since as long as I can remember. I read Joyce Tyldsley's biography on her, and have even made my way to Hatshepsut's temple in Egypt. I was very excited when I ordered this book, but the novel fails to deliver in many aspects: plot, dialogue, believability, research, and most of all, editing. I am a huge fan of Egyptian novels, reading basically anything I can get my hands on, from Pauline Gedge to Brad Geagley and Michelle Moran. But for true fans of historical fiction who want accuracy and well-written novels, I would unfortunately give this one a skip.

This review is from: Hatshepsut: Daughter of Amun (Paperback)
I found this book to be too slow and not enough dialog to make me feel a part of the book. It is interesting in some ways, just wasn't for me.
