I found this book to be pretty disappointing.

The first few pages held such promise, but it …

Nefertiti by Michelle Moran is a good book, but I would rather take it as a fiction in that sense, because I wonder the truthfulness of it all. However, I respect on account that the story was related by Nefertiti younger sister named Mutnodjmet. So perhaps the story …
