Sphinx's Queen by Esther Frieser is an interesting way of describing the unknown childhood of Queen Nefertiti. Sphinx's Queen is the second book after Sphinx's Princess in the series. I enjoy how Frieser is able to convert a boring historical topic into an action packed historical fiction book. She has a other series that refer to famous women's childhoods like Helen of Sparta in Nobody's Princess. I like how she is able to be creative in expanding on historical life and make the book seem like a fiction novel. Sphinx's Queen is an excellent read for people that like books with little twist, that keep them up all night reading.
Nefertiti is portrayed as brave, very beautiful, and slightly sensitive. Throughout the book Nefertiti challenges and attacks on others in battles that she is unsure she can win. Many people call her pretty, want to marry her for her beauty or are jealous of her beauty. She is sensitive to Thutmose when he tries to starve himself to death; even though he tried to kill her. She also loves to help others in need. Nefertiti is committed to her friends and even sets them free. Nefertiti has a fear of being alone and her aunt tells everyone not to speak with her. Read Sphinx's Queen to take a journey into Egypt and explore Nefertiti's world and surroundings.
