Emma’s Reviews > The Woman Who Would Be King: Hatshepsut's Rise to Power in Ancient Egypt > Status Update

This walks a strange line between historical textbook and novel and I’m having difficulty finding a rhythm. I think I would prefer a more straightforward textbook style, but I have seen something like this done very well like in Mythos by Stephen Fry. Maybe this will land somewhere in that realm. I am very interested in Hatshepsut and her rise to power so in some ways it doesn’t matter.
