Honestly this was so bad. From the description it sounds like a really interesting story but when you get in it's just very ridiculous. There was no events whatsoever and I don't even know if there was a plot to this it's all such a boring monologue about khofo. The romance was soo bad it felt so pushed and not right. It's a historical fiction so I expected at least some major historical events to be inserted in the story line but I didn't find that either so I don't really know what the purpose of this book was. The only good thing about this was the writing style nothing else. I won't be giving up on the author this is his first book so this was kinda expected.
