![]() ![]() She overcomes the "sins of her fathers" and moves beyond. Nefertiti and her Pharaoh left a legacy that was difficult if not impossible to follow for our dear Nefertari, but in this novel she is shown as a masterful work of beauty. Although, I do believe it is a fabulous novel and can be fully enjoyed on it's own, it does make me desire to go back and re-read Nefertiti, because I have know realized things that I have missed. ![]() It is one of those books that I doubt I will lend, because I just want to read it again (sorry, go buy your own!). Michelle has truly a winner on her hands here. I wish her story could continue, because I would just love to soak in more. Nefertari is one for the heart, she has gone in and is there to stay. I felt empathy for her situations and I praised her for her morality and decisions for love instead of revenge. I giggled with her, and I became enraged at her enemies. From a child to a woman, as a reader you get to hold onto her tale. Our story is told from a first person perspective straight from the mouth of Nefertari, beloved of Ramesses, and Warrior Queen of Egypt. I was impressed by Nefertiti, Michelle Moran 's debut, but The Heretic Queen surpasses my admiration by far. Every time I picked up the book to settle in for a read, I was swept into the world of Egypt with Pharaoh's and Warrior Queen's. Oh, what a novel! I wish it had not come to an end.
