Mara: Daughter of the Nile by Eloise McGraw
Did not finish book. Stopped at 45%.
I really wanted to like this one, I truly did. I'm a sucker for ancient Egypt and political intrigue, but this was so flat for me. I even left it for a week to see if that would give me a reset to see if I liked it more when I picked it up again, but I didn't.
The writing of Mara is like mixing someone who is 12, young, naïeve and foolish, with someone who is old enough and confident enough to use what they have to get what they want, it's too contradictory and doesn't match the age she's supposed to be. Maybe if I'd read this when I was younger I would have enjoyed it, but for now, it couldn't hold my interest.
