Starting again! I've missed so much in the book that I feel compelled to start over and read more slowly.

Amunhotep and Nefertiti become King and Queen of Lower Egypt and move to Memphis. Amunhotep taxes the priests of Amun and has the High Priest of Amun killed for refusing to submit. He conscripts 1,000 soldiers to work on building a temple to his new god Aten, weakening Egypt's border defenses and leaving them vulnerable to the Hittites.

Is there a lot of information and it's hard to take it?

I started the book thinking it might be some sort of girl boss take, but absolutely not. It's like Egyptian Game of Thrones but with less graphic sex and violence. It's a work of fiction but the author's take is grounded and within the realm of plausibility of how all these power-hungry people actually behaved. She is also not afraid to make Nefertiti a complex figure and highly unlikable at times. It's been a pleasant surprise!
Oh, and I also want to savor Akhenaten's fall. Never cared for this Pharoah. 😅
