Had I reviewed this halfway through I probably would've gone with a solid 3-Star rating. It seemed to be repeating and circling on and on and on without making any story progression.

But by the end, I understood the purpose a little better. The last section of the book makes a detailed explanation of the historical facts that framed the story of Nefertiti. History does not play out as quickly as a Hollywood plot and to keep the basic integrity of the story, the author had to pause accordingly.

I am always impressed with authors in the historical fiction category, making history richly remembered and facts colorful. This book is a great example of that.
