In the year 1355 BCE, the land of Egypt was the superpower of the known world. King Tut's father, Akenaten, the so-called 'heretic pharaoh,' and his wife, Queen Nefertiti, are on the verge of catapulting Egypt into a revolution that will forever divide its people and rip the most powerful empire on the earth from its foundation.
Inspired by the actual Hittite and Amarna letters of 14th century BCE, 'Valley of the Kings: The 18th Dynasty' is an epic novel of intrigue, passion, and betrayal, resurrecting the thrilling story of a singular leader whose beliefs were both visionary and disastrous.
My Honest Review:
Valley
of The Kings – The 18th Dynasty is
based on Egyptian history.
The story travels through three generations
and is a typical royal family story full of treachery, suspense, deceit,
betrayal and plans to access the throne. The story also deals with spirituality
and people’s belief and superstitions and fear during that era.
This is the first time I have read a book
by Terrance Coffey, first time I have read a book on Egyptian history and I
sure loved reading both.
I liked the author’s writing style, his
detail research on the royal family’s looks, their insecurities, their
strengths, their rituals, their God’s and their beliefs, and mainly people’s
fears and their blind superstitions and faith.
This book is a perfect read except for one
thing; the suspense revolving around Queen Nefertiti’s sudden death, which was
left undisclosed by the author.
Other than that, Valley of The Kings – The 18th
Dynasty is a must read if you
like history and can handle little gore and suspense.
