Neferura by Malayna Evans
Neferura will transport you back to ancient Egypt, into a world filled with drama, espionage, and court politics. It is a fascinating, account of one of the only daughters of two pharaohs. Hatshepsut was the first female pharaoh who did amazing things with her rule during a time when women ruling should have been unthinkable. This story delves into her rule but the main focus is on her daughter, Neferura. What I really enjoyed about this book was Neferura is portrayed as a strong female whose life is not as easy as one would think for having a mother who is a pharaoh. She has always had to placate her half-brother Thutmose III, who is co-ruler with her mother. Thutmose hates Neferura and will do all that he can to over throw Hatshepsut and Neferura. Neferura must use her own wits to figure out a way to out smart Thutmose before he finds out a way to get rid of her permanently. I love a story that is set in ancient Egypt and this one...
