The Book: Sphinx's Princess by Esther Friesner
The Reviewer: Rebecca C.
Is it a good book? YES! The way that Esther Friesner takes world history and turns historical figures into books are magnificant. She can word phrases that can make a reader want to learn more about the historical figure or figurine in this book’s case. It is about a young lady who takes her own life into her own hands and won’t let anyone tell her other wise, not what to do; not what to say; what not be part of; and not who she is supposed to marry not even if it means punishment. She stands up for what she believes in.
Would you recommend it? Yes, I would recommend it to anyone that has read
Nobody’s Princess and
Nobody’s Prize. One can understand the feelings that the book characters feel. It is amazing.
What did you like about the book? I liked how Nefertiti has her own way of doing things, and is not willing to be obedient to anyone’s rules except her own. It makes the connection between me and the reader because as Nefertiti is stubborn with not being bossed around neither am I. I have that stubborn nature that makes me want to do things my own way and no one elses.
What did you dislike? There was not much to dislike about the book itself. I did not like the Queen or her eldest son, they were both a little to snobby and to demanding for a future husband and future mother-in-law. But I can understand why they were depicted as so for the story line.
Tell us your thoughts about the book. My thoughts are a painting of what Esther Freisner wrote in her book. Her words flow off the pages and from those words they form paintings and pictures in my mind to allow me to see and understand where and when the book was taking place. I enjoyed the book very much and I would read it over and over again. It is a book beloved by those who are interested in love and Romance. It ends perfectly so that the next book in the series, Sphnix’s Queen can wrap up what is told in the Sphinx’s Princess.
