Having wanted to read this book for so long, I found it very disappointing when I actually got the chance. It is very dryly written, and as early as page twenty-six many of the facts had already been repeated three times. And as pointed out in other reviews, the book jumped back and forth between time frames making it an even more difficult read.
I had gotten much more from reading Dorothy Sharp Carter's "His Majesty, Queen Hatshepsut" and Catherine M Andronik's "Hatshepsut, His Majesty, Herself" than from this book (even though one might consider these juvenile books) just because they are written in a straightforward manner, rather than the muddied in which Cooney's work was written
