3/5 ⭐️ This is definitely not an academic source, although there are some references to writings and art from Ancient Egypt. I had some problems with the way the dialogue and interactions were written, they just seemed very western and modern to me. But, I do know from other sources that much of the historical information is correct. I would recommend to someone who wants to read about Ancient Egypt but isn‘t accustomed to historical texts.

4.5/5 ⭐️ I‘m on an Ancient Egypt binge lately! I really liked this one! The author had a sense of humor that I really appreciated and they explored many pharaohs that I hadn‘t heard about (instead of just the ones everyone has heard of!). Plus, a lot of information about other aspects of life like art and medicine! Super interesting listen!

4/5 ⭐️ Overall this was an interesting read that delved into a few Egyptian queens that I had never heard of before! I just wish there had been less reference to modern events and politics, since I‘m listening for ancient history, not current events..

4.5/5 ⭐️ for Malibu Rising! I had heard so many great things about this book and I really liked The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo when I read it last summer, so I was really excited to pick this one up! It did not disappoint! I think Taylor Jenkins Reid writes amazing recent past, so I would love to see her take on a proper historical fiction novel! My only wish is that Casey‘s character had been explored more to be more impactful!
