![]() When Nefertari's entire family is killed in a fire, she's left to grow up alone, a spare princess in the palace of the new Pharaoh. ![]() ![]() Sweeping in scope and meticulous in detail, The Heretic Queen is a novel of passion and power, heartbreak and redemption. Destined to be the most powerful Pharaoh in Egypt, he is also the man who must confront the most famous exodus in history. While political adversity sets the country on edge, Nefertari becomes the wife of Ramesses the Great. Yet all of Egypt opposes this union between the rising star of a new dynasty and the fading star of an old, heretical one. Soon Nefertari catches the eye of the Crown Prince, and despite her family’s history, they fall in love and wish to marry. But this changes when she is taken under the wing of the Pharaoh’ s aunt, then brought to the Temple of Hathor, where she is educated in a manner befitting a future queen. A relic of a previous reign, Nefertari is pushed aside, an unimportant princess left to run wild in the palace. ![]() The girl’s deceased family has been branded as heretical, and no one in Egypt will speak their names. A devastating palace fire has killed the Eighteenth Dynasty’s royal family-all with the exception of Nefertari, the niece of the reviled former queen, Nefertiti. The winds of change are blowing through Thebes. In ancient Egypt, a forgotten princess must overcome her family’s past and remake history. ![]() ![]() ![]() And in 2022, more so than any other year, I threw up my hands and allowed myself to revel in the chaos. Like any worthy art form, they require constant categorization, re-categorization, and re-re-categorization, just to keep track of every twist and turn in their labyrinthine evolution. Even “Metroidvania,” a portmanteau created specifically to denote a certain set of design tenets, often comes with a cascade of asterisks, caveats, and parentheticals.īut of course, video games’ stubborn refusal to be pinned down is part of what makes them so damn fun. “Turn-based strategy” isn’t doing all that much work anymore. ![]() Simple terms like “open world” and “first-person shooter” have lost much of their original meaning. It’s becoming increasingly difficult, as the years go by, to describe my favorite video games. ![]() ![]() ![]() Both 2015’s Show Me a Hero and Simon’s 2000 series The Corner were based on books-the latter Simon’s own, the former Lisa Belkin’s reported account of a desegregation fight in Yonkers, New York. Simon’s attraction to the source material is not hard to ascertain. ![]() But the Roth household is a much more intimate (at times claustrophobic) lens to explore such big-picture shifts than The Wire’s Baltimore police department or The Deuce’s cross section of the Times Square sex industry. The Plot Against America partly fits the profile, with the Roth family as a way into what it might be like to live through the erosion of democracy and rise of state-sanctioned violence. ![]() When you turn on a Simon show, you know you’re in for a methodical exploration of changing urban institutions through overlapping, and often opposed, personal experience. The erstwhile journalist, who leads the show alongside former detective and The Wire collaborator Ed Burns, has one of the most consistent M.O.s in modern television.

The first book: A shocking beginning for the new saga, the siblings are now caretakers, new cousins are introduced, and there are lot of dragons. Those 5 books managed to hold me captive, like if my chair was a sticky mushroom as I stare at the screen, enjoying each word, returning to certain pages and sentences I enjoyed a lot, and now that it's over, the last thing I can do is give a good review of those series. It is the kind of books that I wish just kept going, since now I'm disappointed that the lecture is over. ![]() Fablehaven was a series I held dear, and re read the books a good amount of times, now, Dragonwatch? ![]() |
