   Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro.  Esta reseña ha sido escrita para Sorteo de miembros LibraryThing. Another awesome and intriguing series of books by Grea Alexander. The story is set in ancient Egypt corcening power struggles between the ruling family and advisors scheming to steal the throne for themselves. The back story is of a romance among the slaves. (  ) DeeDee81 | Jan 25, 2022 |  Esta reseña ha sido escrita para Sorteo de miembros LibraryThing. I got off on the wrong foot with this book after reading the author's introduction and it affected my view of the book. I kept losing track of the story as it transitioned, and would have appreciated some background on the naming conventions. Characters were variably referred to as a root name by itself or with two different suffixes; at first, it wan't obvious to me that these were the same. The story is full of intrigue and is interesting, but the presentation is clunky. If you are interested in ancient Egypt and have greater understanding of the history, you may enjoy this more than I did. I received a free copy of this book through Member Giveaways in exchange for a review. (  ) Spencer28 | Jan 1, 2017 | Esta reseña ha sido escrita para Sorteo de miembros LibraryThing. I received this book as an ebook free from the author through LibraryThing in exchange for an honest review. This is a fascinating story and I do enjoy reading historical fiction about Egypt. I had difficulty at times following the story. It was quite choppy and the characters and story didn’t seem to be fully developed. I do prefer reading this type of story as a longer complete story with the story and characters more fully developed rather than short portions in several books. I have difficulty following the story and remembering all the characters and their relationships with these novellas. (  )1  iadam | Aug 17, 2014 | Esta reseña ha sido escrita para Sorteo de miembros LibraryThing. I won this ebook along with 2 others from the same author from LibraryThing Members Giveaway in exchange for an honest review. And boy am I glad that I did. I am hooked! An ancient story written in a contemporary style but captivating all the same. Amarna Book 1: Book of Ida, follows the trials of Idaten, a slave girl, a childhood playmate and sweetheart of two well known characters from ancient Egyptian history. The book's language may be modern but the story is as ancient as time itself, conspiracy, murder, spying and plotting and in all this betrayal, love still manages to survive. So glad I won this book and eagerly awaiting the next in this series. ( ) AshPReads | Jul 12, 2014 | Esta reseña ha sido escrita para Sorteo de miembros LibraryThing. Using research on Wikipedia, the names, times, characters took form. a time and place I am not familiar with, a bit of a challenge for me to read. I would enjoy learning more, from a historical view, the culture is sought after, being rich in King Tut, period upbringing, including a young girl, Idaten's struggles, and conflicts with hierarchy, Almost biblical sea scrolls, to represent authority. the end leads to curiosity, and hopes for a sequel. thank you.

"An impressively ingenious reframing of the chaotic domino effect caused by King Tut's death & the tantalizing possibility of his line's survival." ------------------ Did the Amarna line really end with King Tut's Death? Thebes, Upper Egypt. 1324 B.C. The last living male descendant of the Amarna line, Pharaoh Tutankhamun, has died suddenly under mysterious circumstances. His wife, Queen Ankhesenamen, is left without a male heir. The ambitious vipers Ay and Horemheb are nipping at her heels in their bid to seize power. Queen Ankhe has but one hope to maintain her hold on the throne - an alliance with the Hittites. With Ay and Horemheb watching her every move, there is only one person she can trust to save her and her line - a girl, a slave: Ida. --------------------------------------------- -Amarna is a ridiculously, historically accurate drama set in Ancient Egypt, Hattusa & Syria that is centered around the strange but true events surrounding the battle for the throne of Egypt following Pharaoh Tutankhamun's death and the interconnected events that took place in the Hittite empire. It includes an end matter feature that details what did and didn't really happen (at least as far as historians believed at the time it was written).
