    Heather Rieseck The Heretic Queen by Michelle Moran

    Genre: Historical Fiction

    I want to say right from the start that this book is the BEST book that I have read to date. I don't know what was wrong with me, but for some reason I didn't want to get started with this one. I put it off for three days after finishing Eve for some unknown reason but as soon as I started reading it, I was like "What was wrong with you!"

    The Heretic Queen sort of picks up where her previous book Nefertiti leaves off. Nefertari is a princess in the royal court of Seti I. Her mother was Queen Mutnudjamet, the sister of Queen Nefertiti. Nefertari is the only remaining link to this family. With these family connections, Nefertari is constantly harassed by her school mates and others about being from the Heretic family. Her two closest friends, the only ones who really don't consider her the Heretic, are Asha and Ramesses. Ramesses is the son of Seti I and he is declared co-reagent of Egypt along with his father. Along with his title, Ramesses must select a wife; a role that Nefertari would love to fill. Except there are some major roadblocks in the way...politics, greed, pride.

    This story never felt like it was dragging. The sentences never felt clumsy, out of place, or just used as filler. Every sentence was important and helped move the story along in major ways. Moran is well versed in her Egyptian vocabulary and ways of living during the 19th dynasty. Her writing really makes you feel like you are right there or watching a movie play out right in front of you. About halfway through the book I realized that this book would only get through a fraction of the life/story of Nefertari. I was slightly depressed knowing this because this is a great love story for the ages; one that has stood the test of time. When it ended I wanted to read more, more, more! This has quickly moved its way to the top of my favorite book list.

    I cannot wait to read Moran's third book, Cleopatra's Daughter. I have thoroughly enjoyed her first two.

    5 out of 5 stars and my most enthusiastic recommendation!!! by Heather Rieseck
